What is the secret to get tickets from 10 club? All I get is:
===================
Server Error
The following error occurred:
[code=CANT_CONNECT] Could not connect because of networking problems. Contact your system administrator.

Please contact the administrator.

==================

Is it the ISP speed? Is it luck? How far your away from the sever?

    If we told you it wouldn't be a secret.

    Hey, better than nothing... Good luck on MSG 2. I think it will be easier.

    That's a 'normal' message to receive when the site's busy. You may need to refresh your browser several times during the ordering process for high demand shows.

    you are obviously not a stonecutter or you would know the secret password/handshake!

    I usually skip the part of the handshake where I'd set my crotch on fire. Sorry ... couldn't resist :-)

    .....

    i have a feeling im doing something wrong and certainly don't know these "tricks and secrets"...and this is exactly why i complain that i don't have a FAIR and EQUAL chance

    i also practice the night before for about an hour. that may sound stupid but i can navi this page in the dark with just my thoughts and a boner.


    that seriously made me LAUGH! :D

    i am sure there are some uber computer-literate people out there who DO know a few tricks. overall though, i think it is pure dumb luck.


    good luck to us all for MSG 2!
    *fingers crossed*
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Dude, you're not a scalper are you?

    If you're just a regular but tech savvy fan, that's cool. I wish I knew your secret though. I read one clue already in another thread and it was a 'duh, that's makes sense' moment for me.

    I find that yelling at my computer really loud as the serverbusy screen comes up works.

    be patient and cross your fingers(on non-mouse hand), that is about all you can do

    I was saying that sarcastically. There's no way it'll be easier.

    The page won't be as pretty, but it will load much faster. Something to watch for though is the buttons that you have to hit such as buy and submit may not be there. If you have done this enough times you should know where they are. They are still clickable, you just can't see some of them.

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    I've never done anyting special, and I've gotten tickets for every show that I was attempting to see. Including two of the EV solo shows. I just login 5 minutes before sell time, then I just refresh like mad! =} Works every time!

    I think getting tickets for MSG was 50% luck and 50% technique/practice.
    I practiced at the other ticket sales just to get a feeling for the website and the whole process. Plus it helps if know how to get the best performance out of your computer and your internet connection. No rocket science, just as someone said above, things a lot of people wouldn't think about. When the goods section doesn't slow me down I can refresh it an estimated 1.5 times per second. Oh yeah and sometimes you need that extra bit of dedication. In 2006 it took me five hours (I repeat it: 5 h !) to get my three ticket pairs for the european tour. I never got shut out of any tickets or poster sales and I can assure you I'm definitely not a scalper.
