Bruce Springsteen fans are in an uproar after tickets for his upcoming tour disappeared in a matter of minutes, leaving many fans facing the prospect of paying as much as 20 times face value to snag tickets to the concerts.

While the prospect of a sold-out concert is hardly a new situation, in the case of Springsteen's upcoming "Wrecking Ball" tour, it appears that the instant sell-out wasn't a simple case of too many fans trying to buy too few tickets. Rather, it appears that an influx of computer "bots" jammed Ticketmaster with purchases, causing a significant number of fans to be locked out of the system.

Last week the London Metropolitan Police Unit arrested almost 100 individuals in connection to offenses regarding the 2012 Summer Olympics.

British Home Secretary Theresa May reported at British security think tank the Royal United Services Institute that 97 arrests had been made by Operation Podium, a dedicated unit of London's Metropolitan Police. Created in June 2010, the unit's primary focus is to root out ticket companies and others planning to resell their Olympic tickets, as unauthorized resale of Olympics tickets is illegal in the U.K.

Fans of the popular video game series The Legend of Zelda are in for a special treat of surprising class and sophistication. Nintendo’s celebrated Zelda franchise, which has sold over 65 million games throughout the course of the series, is getting the full orchestral treatment. Eleven dates have been announced for the Symphony of the Goddess Tour, a string of live performances based on the music of Zelda.

Commonly hailed as one of the best video game franchises of all time, The Legend of Zelda is particularly well suited to orchestral adaptation because of the centrality of music and musical instruments to many games in the series. The new four-movement symphony will draw primarily from the music and storylines of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time™, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker™, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess™ and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past™, but also from other titles.
