    After trying in the previous sales, I finally was able to get tickets yesterday. The queuing was super slow but I just waited it out. I was less than 100 in the queue when I started and it still took almost 45 minutes to get into the sale. One of the tricks is to join the waitlist when it opens 30 minutes before the sale starts then you will automatically join the queue when the sale starts and after doing that for all of the sales, I was never more than 450 in the queue when starting out.
    There was some sort of attempted cyber attack on Ticketmaster that really slowed things down.  I was trying for Gorillaz tickets and the waiting room was slow as molasses!
    ah..I think it ended up being an advantage as maybe people dropped out who didn't or couldn't wait and so there wasn't as much of a crush when getting in.
    Tried their latest presale and went through the process all over again. I finished a 12 hour midnight shift at 6am and it was all i could do to stay away until 9am (local time) for them to go on sale. Started at 62,000 in queue. Kept falling asleep in the queue and setting my alarm. Finally after about 35 minutes it popped up that they were sold out.

    That sucks! Hopefully with them adding a bunch more shows the demand will go down and maybe the secondary market won't be so bad.

    I wonder how many of these tix are going to be "re-sold".

    I might plan a trip to try and get day of.  If not I can just go gamble the money I would have spent on merch and tix!
