    I guess I just don't understand enough about these things work on the back end, but I saw the ticket pair for 5/21 appear, was able to click it, then click "Add to Cart" and have been clicking "Add to Cart" -- or refresh -- for 34 minutes now.... should I just give up? My kids are getting hungry... :P

    i share your pain :twisted:

    I'm new to the TC and it is my first time buying tickets from here. Went for Buffalo this afternoon because it is the closest show for me. Had to do a bit of refreshing but i think it only took about 7 minutes to get it all done with. I can see how it would be a lot more difficult in the larger markets, and I can also see how frustrating it could be sitting there for a couple of hours.

    Just to confirm, the transaction goes through like any other purchase from the TC, correct? I have my order # so that does mean I got my tickets?

    WTF is up with the Hartford sale? First, it didn't show up on the page. (It never did...) Then it was SUPER slow, then it kicked me out a few times and didn't remember my password! I had to change it so many times. NOW the tickets are temporarily out of stock?!

    I emailed 10 Club...this ISN'T RIGHT!

    omg...this is killing, I have been on such a high, since I got to go to the snl taping saturday, was soo excited for today, total buzzkill right now

    Ditto...I got SNL tickets by making a few calls but once again NYC/MSG is impossible. 2nd time in a row.

    Reminds me of a U2 tour. I have stopped going to see them because it's too much disappointment. Fun is gone.

    For the Va tickets, I signed on at 3:55PM for the 4:00PM sale time. Refreshed at 4:02, and was able to get tickets by 4:05.

    Just to be curious, I signed back on at 5:30 and the tickets were still available.

    The ordering process was very frustrating. Took me nearly a half hour of refreshing to finally get tix. Even when I got to the checkout I had to keep refreshing. Seems that there's got to be a better way to do this.

    1/2 an hour? If I'd gotten through in 1/2 an hour, I'd be gleeful! It took me 90 minutes to get through for MSG 1 and more than two hours for MSG 2!

    Should the 10C upgrade their servers? Yes. Is this system horribly flawed and broken? No. Keep in mind it's only a handful of shows that are aggravating - people going to the various midwest shows have no idea there are problems with the servers.

    I suspect that might be why they don't invest in a better system. Why spend the money just to placate fans who go to Philly, NYC, Boston and Hartford? (Kinda shocked DC didn't sell out its allotment!)

    Also, keep in mind that as maddening as the system is, it still sold all the tickets, so fans still got them. It's not like there was a limited sales window and unsold tickets went to TM or whatever. Whether it took 10 minutes or five hours, 10C members still bought all the tickets.

    Do I dread buying tickets for shows in the northeast? Yup. Have I missed out because of the system? Yup. Do I wish we could go back to 2003 when the 10C was able to fulfill ALL member requests? Yup.

    But I still think they do a great job and I can live with the current system, flaws and all...

    I had a log in problem yesterday afternoon and called the ten club- spoke to someone cool, not sure who it was, but he totally wasn't expecting Hartford to be stressful. It turned out to be the worst!
