JR81

I tried the arena website this evening. It allowed me to select two spaces on the floor using the seat plan and add them to my basket. I added car park and postage and entered my bank details and pressed submit. Then I was told that my seats were unavailable although my car parking was confirmed! I've now been charged £9.00 for parking for a show I'm not going to.

I've seen Victoria Wood several times at the City Hall. I think I saw her around 1990, 1993 and 1996. Can anyone remember what dates she performed there? I used to throw all my concert tickets away, but wish I'd kept them now.

I worked there during the summer through an agency when I was at college and then full time for about 7 months in 2003 when I finished uni whilst I was looking for work. Wasn't that bad, at least it was double time on a Sunday and the people were friendly. I've actually had to re-apply for part-time work there recently, as I've been made redundant. It seems to be quite a palava getting back in though. You now have to do a maths and english test before they decide if you are even suitable for an interview. That's a bit demoralising when you've already worked there and have a degree. Had my test last Thursday and still haven't heard anything which is quite worrying.
