Some minor tips for tix :-)

I don't know, I still have to scroll - I guess there's no way of getting around it. Thank God my laptop at least has a mouse pad with a built-in scroll bar, otherwise I'd really be in trouble.

I downloaded it about 40mins before NYC1 went on sale. It's just like using IE but it's much faster and more stable (from what I can tell). Play around with it and good luck... just remember to clear out your history first... I forgot to do that before NYC2 and Newark.

Thanks. I hope it works. I'd hate to think I took a day off work without pay for nothing.

You will only need to scroll initially, once you have it fixed on that page, keep hitting F5 for refresh and you won't need to scroll again. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the shows that are "sold out" are removed overnight, it'll save confusion. Good luck

how old is your computer? what is the screen size?

if it's fairly new, you should have a good resolution screen so go to your desktop and right click > properties....click on the 'settings' tab and you should see s slider where you can adjust your screen resolution....increase it and you should see more on your screen....hope this makes sense

good advices all around. regarding the ticket icon, another thing i noticed when trying for MSG1 was that the order of the ticket icon changed when they added the new show. it was stable (new show at the bottom) after a while, but then the tix were all gone by then. just something to keep in mind.

My laptop's just a few months old. 15.4" and my resolution is already at max.
Actually, it looks like I may not have to scroll - refreshing with Firefox (unlike with Explorer) does not take me back to the top of the page, nor back to the featured item (boots). This works with either F5 or the toolbar button.
Advantage - me!
Thanks a bunch cutback and tone.
And thanks also to PJ_Panic for letting me know about the order of icons changing - that could've proved disastrous if I neglected the upper icons.

Where does the new ticket icon pop up? Right now there are 5 icons, which means that I won't be able to see the ticket if it pops up at the bottom of the rest, because I can only see 3 tickets at a time on my screen. So, do the newer tix always pop up at the top? I hope so.

EDIT: based on the order they're in now, the newer tix pop up at the bottom of the list which means I won't be able to click the ticket button and still see the ticket when it pops up, so I guess I'll have to resort to refreshing the page. Am I wrong?

One thing that's worked for me...

When there are several shows, the size of the scroll bar gets smaller when they add another. I've used that as the key while furiously refeshing the "tickets" heading...

One thing not mentioned that worked for me is to have your finger on the enter button before hitting the buy button. If you hit buy, your likely to get a popup about a secure network connection, rather than have to move the mouse for OK - just hit enter and you'll move to the cart if you're lucky.

I'm convined the popup cost me tickets to Boston 1 today - got em back on Boston 2 though!

Good luck

I use Safari and set it to detect change on webpage as soon as it changes (within a second) I have my mouse on the buy button.
