I want to go to a Calgary Roughnecks game, but they seem to use Ticketmaster for online ticket purchases. Any idea if it's possible to purchase tickets in-person?
Been getting interested in possibly watching Lacrosse the last few months, and want to give it a shot. Just annoyed that the team uses Ticketmaster for buying tickets when I'd much rather use an alternative. Just curious if anybody knows if offline options exist.
Ideas where I can get a free computer mouse in this city?
Howdy y'all,
Earlier today my mouse crapped out. I'd easily buy another, but unfortunately I am incredibly tight on funds for the rest of April.
Is there anywhere I can find a mouse for free? I really don't need anything special, just something that can navigate me around the monitor reasonably. Have set up NumLock keys for the time being and that's how I've been getting by for the day on top of the Tab and Page Up/Down keys.
Thanks in advance.
