    yup, keep a clickin on the tix icon because refresh won't do anything. a rapid fire click of the tickets link is what I did up until the very instant they went up. gotta have a fast connection, too.

    oh i will, but i was lookin for actual tips on what exactly to be clicking on as opposed to refreshin and havin to go back to the goods page then onto tix. thx tho

    you have to have a fast connection. Once it gets to like a min before the sale, click on 'tickets' repeatedly until you see the icon. Click the icon as quickly as you can, and if the buy button comes up, click it as quickly as possible. if not, then keep clicking the icon even if it says Temp. Out of Stock, because many times the buy button appears again.

    use firefox

    pearl jams site is set up in frames so

    in firefox, right click in the center frame, go to 'this frame'>'show only this frame'

    instead of clicking refresh, keep clicking on the ticket icon

    remember 'temp out of stock' doesn't mean sold out.....keep clicking until it say 'out of stock'

    oh and a fast internet connection helps too :)

    good luck! :)

    you don't ever have to hit refresh to go back to the goods page. just go to the goods page (already logged in) and keep hitting the tickets icon on the left. At no point do you need to refresh. And use Firefox. Never use Internet Explorer.

    For me the key has been logging in early (and refreshing often so you don't get logged out) and using multiple browsers. And not just multiple instances of IE, but Firefox and Opera for the PC and Safari and Firefox for the Mac. A fast connection definitely helps as well.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    did anyone click the buy box and then get to a page that, again, says that the tix are temporarlily out of stock?

    Does anyone know a way to get rid of the computer popup that says "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Would you like to display the nonsecure items now? Yes/No"
    Every time I try to buy tickets, that message slows me down. Any way around this? Is there some setting I can just click to always display the nonsecure items?

    Most everyone has said the only tricks and they all comprise about 2% for the method of securing tix. The other 98% is dumb luck!

    Hey all, I'm getting into practice mode for tomorrow. I just did a run through and as I'm clicking on "tickets" in the goods section it doesn't even say 'out of stock'... just keeps showing the bootlegs icon.
    Is this normal at this point when it is completely sold out?

    need to refresh. And use Firefox. Never use Internet Explorer.
    I have never had a problem with IE.

    Maybe so, but Firefox and Safari are faster browsers, and if I had to pick one to use for buying tickets, it wouldn't be IE. It all also depends on what computer you're using, what connection, etc.

    yes. it will only show the Bootlegs 2008 clipart and associated text when there are no seats for sale. when the tickets are up (for any given show), there will be an icon to the right of the bootleg text (hyperlink) that lists the show date and has a tour icon. you click on that and hope for the best! as everyone has noted, sometimes you will click on the link only to see "Temporarily out of stock". This doesn't necessarily mean they are sold out, so keep refreshing your browser.

    It also helped me to empty my browser cache--though it had no influence on the presentation of the 10c page, it at least cleaned out enough crap to make my browser a bit quicker.

    I was a hair shy of homicidal trying to get west coast tickets last Spring--going through the reload/ refresh/ site down/ site up/ credit card time out/ etc--and never did get seats. by comparison today was a breeze for Boston seats, I hope everyone else has similar luck!

    essentially what I have done is if I see a buy button i right click and open in new tab. If i get temp out of stock I go back to the one that already has the buy link and do the same thing again. rinse and repeat until you either get them or the whole thing is sold out.

    once i started doing this I've had great success

    Thanks for the tips, I've just downloaded Firefox too, so I'll try that for NYC1 and see how I go. It seems to be slow right now, but that could be that the site is still recovering.

    does 10C allow you to be logged in on multiple computers?

    No idea. I'm currently logged in on IE and Firefox, but will only be using Firefox when the tix go on sale... I get too nervous to be messing around with multiple browsers. Firefox seems to be faster than IE right now.

  • What do you mean by the "center frame?" Is this in the goods section?

    Well, what I did was right click on the ticket frame and followed the instructions, it changed the look of the page a bit, not sure I did it correctly, but we'll see what happens in 30mins ;)
