Ticket Successes and Failures Thread

Gah... it worked after about 50 retries. *sigh*

[USSoccer]

the way-yay-ting is the hardest part....

[jose cardenals hair]

does the title on the minimized browsers change once your in?

I had one say "frontline tickets", but was blank for 2 minutes, then went back to VWR

[E.J.]

I got through the VWR, then when I go to select seating, it says "We're sorry, we were unable to process your request due to high transaction volumes."

 

I try again and it doesn't work :(

 

You have to keep trying for as long as it takes once you get to the actual ticketing screen. I got the "We're sorry" thing about 20 times before I actually got to buy the tickets. Just keep clicking continue as fast as you can.

YOU'VE GOTTEN THROUGH 20 TIMES!?!?!?

 

No, I've gotten through twice, but when you get through and try to get the tickets you're likely to get a message saying something about "we're sorry, but we can not process your request at this time due to high transaction volume." You have to keep hitting the continue button to get through. I got the we're sorry message about 20 times.

So is the BoSox series sold out yet?

[hawkeyecub]

Can someone help me quick.

I'm in but no matter what game I request 2 tickets for it says we're sorry but we're unable to...

 

Keep submitting your request. You'll get through.

 

I'm just hitting best available and I've tried games in April and weekday games in August. Some of them have to have 2 available yet.

56 windows and nothin here

 

the timers are taking wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long to reset. in fact, they may have stopped resetting.

 

Maybe we broke it

I feel like I'm in Vegas waiting for a slot machine to hit.

I got 6 tix, Sec 208, for Cubs-Red Sox on June 12th. I was shaking as I ordered. I am ecstatic. Good luck to all those still waiting, I got in after 20 mins.

all 56 of mine just reset at the same time

i think the ticketing system is really slow this year. just got 4 bleacher tickets to the ryno retirement game. last year, most bleacher tickets were gone by the same time now.

now they're resetting just fine. Looks like someone at tickets.com bought more server capacity

gah been in since 9:30 - NOTHING

[USSoccer]

....how many dates are sold out thus far?

that may not be the computer system. last year the limits for wristband people were 160 tickets per person. this year it's 42. that could definitely account for some of the extra seats you're seeing available

You're not the only one...

I know just letting out some frustration after reading all these people talk about their boston tickets :cry:

I got through and got 2 tickets to Saturday's BoSox game. I tried for more, but couldnt get em together. Looks like they're about to sell out. I also got 6 Bleacher tickets to the Sunday Sox Game. The hedding changes to "Cubs Ticketing" and the schedule pops up. Right as I was finishing my Bosox order a new "cubs ticketing" came up. I'm pumped!

see...that's just not right...

[jam1975]

I've gotten through twice. I've got tickets for the home opener and the June 11 Red Sox game. I think the June 12th game might be sold out. The biggest pain is getting the "We're sorry..." message once you get through.

[Southpaw191679666239]

You would think 92 windows would increase your chances within the 1st hour. :P

[Jon]

66 windows and nothing yet. It's taking an aweful long time for the timer to restart.

 

Jon,

 

I just got 6 to the Sunday Red Sox game. 2 are yours if you need them.

Thanks a bunch for the offer, Vance. Hopefully I'll be able to get through shortly, but I'll let you know!

No kidding. All I want is two tickets to one game, just one freaking game, and there are people getting multiple games. It's freaking BS.

Ok. Sounds like a plan!
