I cannot tell you how gratifying it is to pay twenty dollars for the privilege to view a "Page Cannot Be Displayed Screen." I simply love it. I didn't know that the illiterate excrement known as "DEEP"(whoooo, deep, we're soooooo deep!) was actually a consolation prize. That and the handsome vinyl I used to scoop dogshit off the sidewalk.

Love,
Fuck this Bullshit give me my fucking 20 dollars back.

    I got the same thing, EXCEPT...I had my tickets selected and hit buy and than that page came up..so I had 2 tickets and because of the fucking Page Cannot Be Displayed Screen I lost them...I really expected more from what seemed like a fan club that was on the ball

    That's the same thing that happened to me but instead of trying again I checked my cart and they were there so I was able to complete the transaction. To be honest, I think the Ten Club sucks, but I haven't been shut out yet - just lucky I suppose.

    Oh wait a minute now. That's not very Jam Jam Jamily like at all to try to squelch our first amendment rights. I don't think Ed and Da Boys would appreciate this sentiment one bit. It is my right as an American to voice the deep sorrow, the bitter angst, and the lyric frustration that I, and so many others like me feel. Please be more jamily-rific and at least don't try to bar us from our unalienable rights. This is all George Bush's fault anyway.

    I think IE crashed. Firefox was going fine - I checked http://www.pearljam.com on IE and it totally crashed, whereas Firefox was chugging away.

    Also, there was no "buy" button for me, it didn't load. I had to guess where the buy button was by clicking random places on the screen till it worked!

    Anywho - I got my tickets :)

    I understand getting shut out..but when I have 2 tickets and than I hit buy and than a page cannot be displyed screen comes up and I lose my tix AFTER I hit buy, and than the CSR from the 10C tells me he's sorry it was a little glitch the system was having, thats pretty weak I think, and I would bitch to TM about that...I would have rather just got "out of stock" because I wouldnt have known I had them..get it?

    Dear Proteus,

    The simple reality is that demand exceeded supply. No matter how 10-C distributed the tickets, that's the reality.

    I know it's frustrating to see the site crap out, but ironically, that actually gives die-hard, dilligent fans -- the types of fans who will click on the "Temporarily Out of Stock" sign for an hour -- an extra chance. If the server were perfect, tickets would have been gone in under a minute.

    Sincerely,

    Common Sense

    Calm down! You have been around long enough to know how this plays out. You weren't lucky this time. Try again for MSG2.

    Servers crash, shit happens. Breathe and put everything into perspective.

    When all else fails, just deal with ticketbastard.

    I understand...it's happened to me before, and on much larger websites. Yes, it's weak to say "oops, sorry" but what can ya do? I think it's better than it was (the staggering sales, so there's not 10 shows on sale at once)...hopefully it will keep getting better. If I can find an extra for you, I will :-)

    No. The frustration is borne of being falsely lulled into a pretext of having some kind of access, some kind of privilege that others do not. But, it really doesn't matter because it's still a Grunion Run style scramble, just a smaller one.

    Is venting our frustration really hurting anyone? No.

    That happened to me also. I understand not getting tickets due to high demand. My problem is not getting them because of miserable servers which crash at the first opportunity...

    Why didn't they do as last year in Wembley Arena, London, UK? I mean, they reserved the whole floor for 10Clubbers and released the unsold tickets for general sale a month or so after the pre-sale... I thought 10C was on the right track with that strategy.

    I wonder how many tickets they had reserved for 10C in MSG and I also wonder where that "tweet bird" is right now...

    Couldn't agree more with this post. I clicked the tickets every 5 seconds from noon to 12:35 until I finally got tickets.

    and a few times when I actually got the "buy" option, I clicked it and THEN it said that it was out of stock. maybe four or five times. didn't get discouraged (though my patience did start to wear thin) and then after clicking the ticket pair for the 700th time, the tickets were there.

    I don't think anyone is "falsely lulled...". you're aren't 4 years old being tempted with candy. you're a grown-up and by now, should know how this stuff works: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. You do have access to some sort of privilege...it's just unfortunate that it doesn't always go smoothly.

    Its so classy how people take shots at the 10C on the 10C website.

    It would be so lovely if people knew how to express their complaints with some tact.

    there's a song Proteus won't be seeing at MSG.
    wah.


    i should have known to expect disaster with this stupid system eventually.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    Easy for you to say...I live in Sweden, can't buy through ticketmaster. I came so long on first MSG show that i entered my card number and pressed OK. Then the crash came. I think its a shame the 10C can't find a safe way to sell tickets, its not the first time it happens. I'm gonna end up buying tickets for way over face value just cause they can't manage their site.

    They say its first come first serve....thats bs, and it sucks!!

    I got to the state where the tickets were showing but there was no 'Buy' button.

    I knew I should have just clicked the space where it was.

    FUUCK.
