Just got through to MSG I - This 10 minute thing is BS

I had tickets in my cart for over an hour.
Just kept trying and trying and trying. Seriously tried to check out probably 30-40 times. After the first dozen times or so I pulled up my online banking page and was refreshing that as well to see if I were charged.
Finally, just a few minutes ago I was again timed out after getting to step 3 of checkout, however this time my available checking balance went down $173.00.
Checked my order history and there is my order.
So I'm happy obviously, but I totally feel for people who got locked out. This system is ridiculously flawed. This is like 1999 internet practices. I didn't even get a confirmation or anything. If I didn't check with my bank, I'd have assumed I just lost the tickets. And why was I able to have them in my cart for over an hour while trying to check out?
Again, I'm psyched it worked out for me, but that doesn't change the fact that the whole process needs a major overhaul.

but this has been going on for how many years? somebody at the 10 Club needs to buy a clue and seriously look into an upgrade of SOMETHING!
What about other bands? Radiohead? I know a lot of them cop-out and route you right to Ticketmaster, but not all of them.
I love the 10-Club and have been very fortunate with their ticketing policy, but it's clearly outdated. Why does the 10-Club give so many people the perception that they are just a poorly run operation. They are slow with news, info, mailings, ticketing system, etc. There really isn't anything they do well, we just all tolerate them because we're obsessed with the band. They should be better at some of this stuff by now. How many years of operation will it take for them to deliver mail timely? How many tours before they can have a smooth online ticketing operation?
It's embarrassing for them and frustrating for us. You gotta be really doped up on the Kool-Aid to continue to defend some of these business practices.

Hard To Imagine
the wh does a lottery. you put in your requests over a set time period. once that is over you get a confirmation saying confirmed or declined. than seating is done be seniority for the most part
Exact same thing happened to me. To a T.
