    I couldn't log in at all from 5pm on my laptop, kept getting that guru meditation message, took a chance with the internet on my phone and had Manchester tix within 3mins. If anyone has an internet phone and has still not had any luck you may aswell try it. Maybe there's a different server for mobile internet that's not getting annihilated with traffic.

    Thanks for wasting my night, PJ. Thanks for spending your fans hard earned money on this level of service. MUCH APPRECIATED. Was going to Europe -- think I'll take my money and spend it on a band that actually cares about its fans.

    Harsh. I think that 10C did try, and I think they do care about their fans. The ones who wasted your night are Crowdsurge. It's their system that had the problems, it's their system that gave you tickets and then refused to let you buy them. But if you're going to blame the band/10C and not come to europe, that's your prerogative. And it means a little less strain on the system next time.

    I'm just glad that they did pull the plug, and hopefully they can find a more equitable way to organise this thing next time. A lot of people legitimately had tickets only to have them taken away. They've got to make sure that never happens again.

    THANKS for finally pull the plug.
    At least the waiting is over for now and, well, there are tix left. but I planned my whole day around this and time is still ticking, so let's hope all the years of member ship will count...

    and by the way: have others also troubles with this page? It works slowly and posting gets confusing... sometimes posts are gone or then, in triple shown... so I slowly think my PC is done. Maybe it was to much refresh button...

    anyway, thanks, I mean it as I somehow still trust it will get o.k. soon....

    I just find it harder and harder to understand how any agency, be it TC, Ticketmaster or Crowdsurge underestimate the traffic to their site for these tickets - there's years of data now on how many people tried to get to tickets at the same time (successful & unsuccessful), so I am wondering how hard it can be to properly plan this.

    Quite honestly - if 5 minutes after the sale starts I find out that ll tickets are gone, fair enough, but I don't want to waste (now probably twice) evenings between patience and F5 panic still not getting any TC tickets.
