    PC with a real mouse and keyboard. Beer in one hand, blackberry in the other.

    The Solution is to just hit the tickets tab until the icon comes up. When it does click on it, then click buy. You have to have a real slow ram or internet i think not to get tickets. I have never had trouble. i think some of you are getting old and your reflexes are getting slowed.

    I got tickets to the first LA show, Sept 30 using a laptop. It only took one click. Easiest tickets ever.

    Fast employer internet, HP desktop, mouse, and adrenaline. Also, I don't ever use the refresh button because i don't trust it. I click back and forth between two screens. Tickets and t-shirts. That's my little secret. No tickets yet? Click on t-shirts. Now back to tickets. There they are. Click on buy, and there you have it.

    Ha! I used the tickets and order history links. Back and forth..... I also learned not to click on the show icon until it's fully loaded. I tried mid-load the first time and it gave me an error. About 4 minutes later it came up again, I let the page load completely, clicked the icon and voila! tickets.

    I used a PC w/ mouse and high speed internet at work. I got both nights, although the second was much more frustrating. Oh, and I used Firefox.... I wonder how many people that got shut out used I.E.? That browser is horrible.

    Philly 2--At home w/HP laptop, wireless internet, w/mouse, used Firefox and just hit the Tickets link to refresh. Got tickets in about 4 minutes (although w/several Try Again's--seemed to happen after every step of the process).

    Philly 1--I was about 2 seconds from buying tickets at work when I decided it was in my best interest to hold out for Philly 3. That was on a Dell laptop, docked, w/mouse and what I'm sure is a fabulous internet connection, using IE and clicked the Tickets link to refresh...took less than a minute to get to the CC page when I bailed. Had no interruptions during the process though.

    Looks like I'll be trying for Philly 3 at work :ugeek: :mrgreen: :ugeek:

    Ha! That's what I do :D Tickets, t-shirts, tickets, t-shirts.

    I used my work desktop, not a great connection as it's slowed down by government filters etc and just upgraded to Explorer 8 this morning (which made it slower).

    Oct 28th - no problems whatsoever
    Oct 30th - couple little hiccups, but no dramas in the end

    Happy, happy... seeing them on my birthday :D

    I had three browsers going at the same time.

    Firefox
    IE (32 Bit)
    IE (64 Bit)

    I hit on the IE (64 Bit). Firefox was the first one to drop out.
