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....
I'm still trying................... it's been almost 2 hours
PJ fan since 1991 (I was 14); Ten Club member since '95.
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.
That's cool for you...but why didn't many of us even see the icon to buy tix until like 11:20 or so???
Hail Hail the lucky ones...i refere to those who actually scored tix to the vic.
Is there any point in still trying? Has anyone got tickets in the last hour?
I'll probably walk over to the Vic and see if anyone there has an extra on the day of the show, that'll be my last resort.
This really sucks. :(

I'm so glad to hear you scored tix, this is going to be amazing! Is Toni going with you. I was a wee from trying but held myself together and realized I gotta get school supplies and uniforms for the kids this coming month - LOL
Congrats my friend
Urs,
Thanks!! Yes, she is going, which is great because she is not attending the Lolla show on Sunday.

I'm still trying for mine. I didn't see the tickets until 1:15pm. From 1:15 to 2pm I kept clicking on tickets waiting for the "buy" button. From 2-2:35 I was clicking "buy" button with "temporary out of stock" showing. Then I get booted back out to main tickets section and now I'm clicking on tickets again trying to get the "buy." Any advice, should I just give up or are more tickets showing up?

5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.
My wife got through at her work about five minutes after they went on sale and SCORED the tickets. I was at home with my MAC and the ticket link never came up. So how many actually got tickets?
Out of the possible 1400 tickets, my guess would be that they only sold 500 pairs. Leaving the 400 otheres for friends and family of the band. Just because the capacity is 1400 doesnt mean that is how many the band is planing on having in the venue.

there are currently a handful of people (less than 5) each currently holding a pair in the cart but NOT purchasing them,...10C is just waiting for them to clear.

Dammit, Santos' post never said anything about needing to be computer genius in order to buy tix!!!
actually, i'm just pissed b/c i didn't think to do that. i just thought the sever was overloaded and they hadn't posted the link yet.

That can easily be cleared up by JUST REMOVING THEM AND FREEING THEM UP by 10C.

isn't that way most ticket purchasing sites but expirations on the checkout cart??? this is insane.
glad i'm quitting my job in 3 days or else they'd fire me for spending 2 hours trying to get tix.
