Anyone trying to get Rockies World Series Tickets?

[jyoung55]

I thought about trying to pick some up, but I think their server is already down. 5 minutes before they are even scheduled to go on sale. Pitiful.

 

Anyone know anything about this ticket situation?

[CubmanPi]

Yea, this is pretty pathetic. I opened my windows around an hour ago, and they both froze at the end of the countdown about ten minutes ago.

 

Did you hear about some government workers in the Denver area who were trying to pool financial resources and use some high-powered gov computer to buy tix? They wouldn't let them use the gov systems, and I can't imagine it working anyway, but it was pretty obvious the demand for these tickets would be thru the roof, especially with the Red Sox now being the road team.

It must be those damn Rockies fans trying to get through.

[CubmanPi]

Or we could be blaming the website for not being anywhere close to prepared to handle the demand.

 

My firefox page keeps loading the VWR with a countdown clock frozen at 1 now.

[JGalt73]

I'm getting through to the VWR 1 in 40 chances in Firefox, it then counts down to 1 and times out.

That's where I'm placing the blame. Don't do this sort of thing if you aren't prepared for the demand. Rockies fans, Red Sox fans, Joe Schmoes, and Scalpers all would love World Series Tickets... you have to account for that or just do a lottery.

 

I wonder what they are going to do with them? Just whomever is patient enough to keep trying when the server does come back up gets them?

Yea, I'm not sure what will happen either, but I hope the servers either come back up soon or they try again tomorrow, actually being prepared by then.

 

I was kind of disappointed that they weren't going to be doing any lotteries at local locations like they originially wanted to. I have a friend in the area trying to get tickets too, and his chances probably would have been much better if there were a way to get them in person.

I only have about 8 windows, but I certainly do wonder if anyone can actually get through.

[E.J.]

Page isn't loading for me. I can't even get to the VWR.

Did you end up getting the tickets?

 

Looks like the Rockies really prepared well for this. :roll:

Nope it timed out.. What was really weird was I had 45 windows open, and they all went through in the same 2-3 minutes to where I coudl select how many tickets and what sections etc. I only tried to get a few of them go through. 1 is still trying, 1 timed out.

 

What a joke lol

Wow, that's pathetic.

[Twiggy]

I just love seeing that SEADDORDER in the URL it is trying to access lol. Well I guess I don't have to worry about buying a jacked up hotel price in denver for this weekend.

[Roast]

I just went over to the rockies message board and none of them are saying they have been successful either. I think this is pretty funny, actually.

here is what I'm copying/pasting to get into the vrw, then I refresh the windows since it isn't doing it on its own. maybe you will get lucky and get through.

I'm giving up. This is crap. My roadtrip will be a lot easier if I don't have to make Denver by Saturday. Good job, Rockies.

[hardcorecubfan]

I would love to go, not far from there, I would pay cash instantly if I never had to here the words" Big Papi" or see him spit into his hands

[chuckywang]

I know some of you are trying to buy tickets cause you actually want to go to the game, but it's a real shame if some of you want to buy tickets just to sell them and jack up the price for real Rockies fans.

[E.J.]

I give up. No World Series for me. :cry:

9News is reporting that ticket sales are suspended and the rockies will release information this afternoon on when the tickets will be sold. They said only 200 of the available tickets made there way through the system, and they have had computer problems all morning.

 

There is still a chance

What a disaster. Did they not expect this many people? It's the Red Sox, for crying out loud.
