There's been an increasingly disturbing trend in, atleast, Finland concerning web-based stores; namely that they appear to close for the night. It wasn't too long ago that one of the key arguments for web stores were that they would allow you to not only do your shopping from anywhere, but also any time that suits you. But now VR.fi (Finland's only railway company) allows you to only buy tickets from around 6 AM to roughly 11 PM. Granted, they're still open longer than the actual physical ticket offices, but...
Tonight I tried to buy tickets to a showing of Rossini's Il viaggio a Reims, but the Finnish National Opera decided that I'm not going to buy tickets, since it was passed 10 PM. For crying out loud, it's not as if computers require overtime compensation! Why can't a buy some bloody tickets when I want to buy them?! WHY?!?
