thanks for contributing...NOT!
gobrowns19...not sure it was a firefox and IE problem...quite a few people had this very same problem...just the fact that it was a bunch of people tells me it ain't that simple...or is it?
Good question. It worked for me on firefox but not IE, but for one of my friends IE worked and not firefox. Who knows? Good luck though.
thanks for the "good luck" comment
it was the strangest thing what happened last time...and i made a BIG issue about it then and if it shows up late this time i'm gonna continue my quest to try to understand(and bitch!) about what happened...being shut out of the Vic really tore my heart out...sure i got over it BUT to not have a FAIR chance was really unfair...
Lottery was the way the Vic tickets should have been handled.
If they are fixed this time, be prepared to hit refresh a lot, but not too much where you accidentally refresh over open tickets. That sucks.

all im saying is this is gonna be all over after they sell out on monday
I agree with you about the lottery.
As far as the icon goes, I think its simply a numbers game.
More people online that the system can process, so it doesnt show up.
don't hit refresh you never hit refresh!!! Can I buy these tickets and sell them or do I have to be present at the show? hahaahha
I got my Vic tickets 25 mintues after they went on sale.....all skill.
SHOW COUNT: (164) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=108, US=118, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=4, Australia=5
Mexico=1, Colombia=1

hot posters sales didnt have the same problem that the Vic ticket sale did
ya thats skill alright...LMFAO
perhaps it was pure luck???? say it aint so....
because there was at least times more people trying for the concert tix
and they do have problems with some of the posters
so um because this is a ev small club tour and not the vic PJ 10c show we can expect less volume?
i bet all posters sales at least got to see the buy option
i'm not new here
Maybe, there were a boatload of people who were already planning to be in Chicago so the demand for the VIC was as strong as any other arena show-perhaps stronger because of the intimate setting and fan club only.
Hard to tell. It sounds like these tix might be more limited at each venue, but there are more venues. Im sure LA will be a tough ticket no matter what. And people have been clamoring for this, so demand will be strong.
And your right about the posters and the buy button, but the images for certain posters showed up earlier for some-like the Vic tix
I still think its just a numbers game and its luck of the draw.
And anyone who chooses a Wharf Rat name is OK in my book.
I got no dime but
I got time to hear his story
i don't have time to search every poster on-sale thread for proof, but there most certainly was bitching about never seeing the icon on poster sales. you may not be new here, but your memory is convenient...
ebay isn't evil people are

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_server
A web server (program) has defined load limits, because it can handle only a limited number of concurrent client connections (usually between 2 and 60,000, by default between 500 and 1,000) per IP address (and IP port) and it can serve only a certain maximum number of requests per second depending on:
* its own settings;
* the HTTP request type;
* content origin (static or dynamic);
* the fact that the served content is or is not cached;
* the hardware and software limits of the OS where it is working.
When a web server is near to or over its limits, it becomes overloaded and thus unresponsive.
[edit] Overload causes

A daily graph of a web server's load, indicating a spike in the load early in the day.
At any time web servers can be overloaded because of:
* Too much legitimate web traffic (i.e. thousands or even millions of clients hitting the web site in a short interval of time. e.g. Slashdot effect);
* DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks;
* Computer worms that sometimes cause abnormal traffic because of millions of infected computers (not coordinated among them);
* XSS viruses can cause high traffic because of millions of infected browsers and/or web servers;
* Internet web robots traffic not filtered / limited on large web sites with very few resources (bandwidth, etc.);
* Internet (network) slowdowns, so that client requests are served more slowly and the number of connections increases so much that server limits are reached;
* Web servers (computers) partial unavailability, this can happen because of required / urgent maintenance or upgrade, HW or SW failures, back-end (i.e. DB) failures, etc.; in these cases the remaining web servers get too much traffic and become overloaded.
[edit] Overload symptoms
The symptoms of an overloaded web server are:
* requests are served with (possibly long) delays (from 1 second to a few hundred seconds);
* 500, 502, 503, 504 HTTP errors are returned to clients (sometimes also unrelated 404 error or even 408 error may be returned);
* TCP connections are refused or reset (interrupted) before any content is sent to clients;
* in very rare cases, only partial contents are sent (but this behavior may well be considered a bug, even if it usually depends on unavailable system resources).
This is my kind of love...
