I got shut out of the Vic cause the ticket icon showed up 20mins late, despite my highspeed connection...WTF ???

I hope and pray 10C have pulled it together for this presale...

    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. :)

    The VIC kinda was like a Lottery, some people got the Icon some didnt. No one did anything different. It was pure luck.

    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.

    I had the girl I work with trying for me as I was also trying. No icon for me, she got thru pretty quickly. But it was FATE, her last name is Ledbetter.

    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...
