Testing on other browsers? What other browsers?

This is annoying. I was looking for 2 tickets to see Jools Holland in December in Glasgow and found a reputable site to purchase from but when I was going through the search I kept getting a page not found error from a 3rd party site that they obviously used as their ticket agent. So after a few attempts I went to the venues own website and purchased them there. All is good... or so you might think.

We needed tickets for a different night for the Outlaws (my name for the Inlaws) and my wife went to purchase them using the other site and she was finding some great seats and everything was working. So out of interest I try searching again at the same time... page not found!

Page not found !! Wtf? !!

And then it set in... the grey matter kicked in to gear and I realised what was happening. I use Firefox and the wife against all my concerns uses Internet Explorer. So I crack open IE and low an behold 2 great seats for the night I wanted to go. You can imagine at this point I'm feeling about as stable as Charles Manson and generally looking for blood.

Why was this not tested? Had they not heard of FireFox? Surely developers these days are not that lazy? Well, it looks like they are.

In the end I bought a second pair in the good seats and I'll sell on the others at work for cost.
