    Wow. Sounds like I had better luck with one browser on a smartphone. No joke.... There may be a lesson to learn here. :think:

    Sadly sir you make me feel a little better :roll:


    one browser, one tab would have gotten you in. multiple browsers open on the same ip address push you to the end of the line constantly.

    Their system is clearly fucked. I got through consistently (i mean 100% of the time) without waiting after 8:20ish (turned down probably 10 different ticket selections). Meanwhile, others still weren't getting through. I know I'm not that lucky. Seems likeaybe if you happen to get lucky and get through once, you thee her through every time or something. Anyway, probably should have snagged that one in section 135 that I got, but it was the first one that came up for me, so I decided to try for something better. Oops.


    I think my Canadian IP address may have had something to do with my never leaving the virtual waiting room :(

    I just got the notice in the waiting room that the show is sold out. How depressing to be in that room for over an hour and not even have a chance to try for tix. :cry:


    Yeah, it is so sad and depressing!! And the dumb thing is still refreshing in the waiting room. It's very pathetic... and we're true fans and we couldn't get two tickets... and now those who are not real fans are selling their tickets as I type for two hundred dollars each... so where is the fairness??
    I don't think I understand the true fan vs. Not true an comparison... not like there is any system that can take that factor into account (since 10c can't get all the tickets). Plus, not true fans have equal rights. But the waiting room system was totally unfair judging from my experience vs other people's.

    Yeah, sounds like ha I g the multiple computers and/or browsers is basically a useless tactic. Doesn't seem to have improved anyone's chances.

    At the risk of bragging--and I'm not, and it sucks that everyone didn't get tickets--I actually got through the virtual waiting room twice. I got two pairs, tried again just for fun, and got two more. I'm excited, albeit bummed out that so many of the faithfull weren't as lucky. Keep checking! Big venue = lots of drops.

    No. It means that instead of looking at a waiting room page for nearly 5 hours, I finally got to look at a ticketing page that said, "This event is sold out." There wasn't even the option to try for tickets.

    I started out with three devices with unique IPs in the VWR 20 mins prior to the onsale. One got through at about 11:25. Got two tickets. Then I immediately closed browsers on all three devices and reopened and got in immediately on two other browsers.

    It appeared that after a certain time period you would get an immediate popup upon entering the waiting room. Just what I observed.
