What Was That Loud Noise?

The noise you just heard were my dreams bursting, falling to the earth.  Sad day today.  I really thought this was the one:

Thank you for your interest in attending the May 17, 2011, The Farewell Season: Oprah’s Surprise Spectacular taping at the United Center.

Unfortunately, we were unable to accommodate your request for this ticket reservation window due to overwhelming demand. We will email you if more tickets become available for this taping at the United Center.

Sincerely,
The Oprah Show Audience Team

Do you know how many people's dream came true?  I do.  It makes me even more sad, 23,500.  Out of 23,500 seats, I wanted two.  Did not happen.
