I'm starting to hate this feeling....

I am so jazzed up about trying to get tickets this afternoon....I'm bouncing off the walls at work. But I'm starting to associate this feeling with a huge let down later on.

I'm tired of being disappointed.

Come on 4 hours.......this has got to be my day!

    I'm preparing for a letdown in about 12 minutes, and then 2 hours and 12 minutes.

    Firefox worked for me. And remember to have your cc number copy and pasted so you can paste it into the proper field.

    Same feeling here.

    My only question is: Where are the new ticket icons appearing? Always top? Always bottom? Anywhere?

    I've seen both top and bottom. ITs why they need to drop those sold out icons!

    This thread and a few other have me worried about getting Chicago I tickets. I was thinking that if I am logged in and refreshing the ticket page right at 2pm PDT that snagging my pair tix wouldn't be an issue. Does it really come down to fractions of seconds and a bit of luck no matter how diligent and watchful I am?

    This is my first time trying for 10c tickets so I hoping for beginner's luck.
    And if there's something you'd like to do. Oh, just let me continue to blame you.

    I wouldn't hit refresh. Just go back and forth between the ticket icon and the word "Tickets" on the left column. When you see "Buy" click immediately. And have your credit card number copy and paste-ready as you'll want to paste ASAP into proper field. Also, know your 3-digit code on the back of your CC as you'll need it. I would use Firefox...takes 3 minutes to download.

    There's only a few hundred seats for members (correct?) and several thousand are trying to get these. These will go FAST. My guess is anyone has about a 5% chance or less...although a fast connection can make a huge difference. Most tickets will be gone in a minute. Or less.

    But they do pop back up occassionally for 30-45 minutes, so don't give up.

    To the anger of many east coasters, I practiced on other shows on Monday (got alot of shit for it). However, I learned that you will only have about 3-4 seconds to hit that buy button. It doesn't seem to be that hard with a good connection and constantly hitting tickets. Good Luck!

    Wow, that feels like you're telling me that I have only a 5% chance or less to live after 2 hours and 15 minutes. I'm going to need a drink at 2:01pm PDT whether I get the tix or not...
