NO MSG 1, but got MSG 2.


Tried a different strategy for MSG 2 though.


Instead of going to http://www.pearljam.com/goods/


I went to http://secure.pearljam.com/store/

This is very useful. Lucky for me I got through on the regular site, but I will have to try and remember this.

I got through both times on Firefox, but don't think that makes a huge difference. There is a lot of luck involved and also what speed internet you have. But mostly, lots of luck.

Sailed through MSG1 in a couple of minutes with IE.
Got nothing for MSG2.

I used IE for both shows, but it was a nightmare. Looks like you Firefox users had a much better experience. I'll remember that next time. Thanks for the info!

Awesome. I always used to say that dialup was the way of the future.

I'm at work right now, but in 06 when I bought tix when I was home I used dialup as well to get tix.

Must be a South Philly thing.

Oh yeah, I used firefox for both today.

hhahahah just call me old fashion ( or Poor)

See you At The shows Joe!

I used Firefox, but I don;t think that had anything to do with me getting tickets. It was just luck. The site crash because they couldn't handle the traffic. I just kept frantically hitting refresh.

Firefox. MSG 2 only. I agree that browser probably didn't make a difference, just luck and maybe some experience. And definitely need to be logged in before tickets are posted, I think.

Shut out from MSG1 but for MSG2, I made sure I didn't hit reload but instead kept hitting the "tickets" button, that seemed to make it freak out less. Tickets in cart at 2:02 but then site crashed after I submitted my credit card info. I kept hitting the "try again" button and had to do so each step of the way until somehow the tickets showed up again and I entered in my credit card info and held my breath. I think it was close to 3:00 at that point so I was surprised but incredibly thankful! I'm ecstatic. [OT] Dying to hear State of Love and Trust live!!

i took a half day off from work having a feeling this was gonna be an issue

That's what I did, wasn't gonna get away with frantically hitting F5 for 45 minutes straight, plus work doesn't allow me to download Firefox, and I wanted to use both browsers!

Would it screw things up if I had 2 laptops going and logged in on both laptops under the same username? Anyone do that?

So it appears that Firefox or Safari is the way to go. This is good to know for the future.

Since I live in the midwest and got tickets to the Vic last year, I decided to sit this one out and leave the tickets to the east coast peeps (even though I would love to visit New York). But, I'm crossing my fingers that they will announce a "Phase 2" and it will be nice to know I can have confidence in a web browser.

I used Explorere & got tix to both nights.
