I was using Firefox too. I got booted around 5 minutes to 4. Luckily I noticed and logged back in.

I don't think this was a browser-specific thing. I think the goods section was booting people who had been logged in for too long and/or had already refreshed the tickets page a bunch of times.

It certainly is NOT a browser specific issue, and if it was it would be IE that has a problem since it does not confrom to web standards. The PJ store is apparently little more than php/mysql, and there is no reason for you to log out automatically, ESPECAILLY because the site uses cookies to keep you logged in - a fucking cookie doesn't delete itself like that out of nowhere unless you've told it to - or it's timed to. If you clicked remember me - then it should NEVER expire unless you delete it. I'd love to hear the technical reason for this problem.

I think luck is only a very small part of it.

if you log on and follow all the steps, then still get shut out, then its plan and simple bad luck or your not quick enough. I did the exact same things for night 2 and got tickets, I feel it was just plain luck.

A guy I work with missed out on the ticketmaster sale for the EV tix so I told him I'd keep an eye out for him...I went onto craigslist today and started looking around.

DMW's rant:

It pisses me off to no end that people now only buy tickets for the purpose of re-selling them. $600 for a pair in the second last row from the top of the building is plain stupid. Massey Hall holds somewhere around 2200 and on e-bay alone there are 47 pairs (for both nights) 172 tickets (for both nights) on Ticketsnow.com...that's already 10% of the venues seating and who knows how many tickets are on craigslist and other "sell sites"...

I was happy to see this post on craigslist:

EDDIE VEDDER CENTRE BALCONEY row 10 Toronto tuesday - $420

Tuesday night show. Toronto august = Centre balcony row J
$420 for two tickets awe some deal. These tickets will not last long at this price
email or call 416-705-4464 ask for Brendon
only the best from the best.
Brendon

I say those of you who couldn't get tickets at least call Brendon and chew him out for being a little bastard...I fuggure enough people call him and inconvience him and maybe next time he'll think twice about flipping tickets...It's a drop in the bucket I know but if everyone treated these people like they should, there would be a lot more tickets available for people who intended to go...

I'm going to make a shirt that says "Fuck Scalpers" and wear it to the shows...
