    Did many others have this problem?

    Oh well. Would have been great fun, but there will be other shows (I'll try not to point out that they won't be like *this* one).

    Congrats to all who had success. Looking forward to hearing all about it.

    Same problem here.

    I don't want to be one of those people, but if anyone has an extra please PM me. Thanks

    I have a plane ticket for Aug 2 from DFW/CHI but have not ticket for the show. Same problems as everyone else with the website. Anyone who can hook me up with a wristband would be greatly appreciated. Too far to travel to get shut out. Please help....

    I got to the log in page...and then BAM! crash.

    ...which is why I'm really glad my friend who's going to Lolla with me got a pair. :D:D:D:D:D

    I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    p.s., to everyone who got shut out, keep the ticket page opened and keep refreshing it. Who knows if they held anything back, but might as well give it a shot eh?

    The closest I came was "buy". I clicked, and they were temporarily out of stock.

    I have no idea how anyone got tickets. This was impossible, right out of the gate.

    Me and my three friends are all going to lolla, arriving in chicago on the second. I was able to get through and buy a pair, but my other friend was not. Now we have two tickets, and four people who wanna go. This is a shitty position to be in.

    Marker ar what time did you get them...?

    So to the ppl that got them...did you keep pushing f5 or just clicked the ticket link the whole time?
    Why not be mediocre and be the best at it that you can be?

    believe it...thats the way it has gone since they started selling tickets online. their website has never been able to handle the demand even after the upgrade.

    for future reference, keep clicking the ticket link. refreshing has been known to log you out.

    I was logged in before 2, and as soon as the clock hit two i refreshed the site and hit tickets. I kept on having to refresh because it would say "server is busy, check internet connection). finally i got to the part when it said "buy" and i clicked it, and had to refresh even more. The "buy" page came up again and i clicked it, and it said "only one pair per customer" or something, so i realized i already had a pair in my cart. Went to the check out, put in my card number, and got the conformation page.

    So to the ppl that got them...did you keep pushing f5 or just clicked the ticket link the whole time?

    Here is basically what happened for me:

    Clicked all around about 5 minutes prior to 2 pm.
    Right at 2 pm, website slowed tremendously.
    F5'd and clicked tickets a couple times back and forth,waiting on hourglass each time.
    About 1-2 mins of doing this, Chicago tix showed under 'Tickets'
    Clicked icon and about 15 secs later 'Buy' Button showed.
    Frantically clicked it and after about another 30-45 secs where status message was reading 'website contacted.....', my order with total charges showed, but the graphics on that page were all messed up. I did have a 'Checkout' button.
    Pressed that and after another delay, my shipping address came up for confirmation (I managed to somehow get a tshirt into my cart as well).
    Confirmed that screen and got my long order confirmation number. It was probably about 2:08 at that point.
    So this is what it's like to be an adult.

    I had the same thing happen - I got in right away, and it froze well over 2 dozen times, I thought that was it but they were in my cart in the end.

    Does anyone know what time the show starts? My flight gets into Midway at 8, but I am going to go standby on the one that arrives much earlier. This same thing happened to the Hawaii show - I had my flight set up and then had to move it to accomodate a new show. It keeps me on my toes. You gotta love it.

    Hope this kept scalpers out at least....
