Don't refresh the page.
Don't keep clicking the tickets link for it to pop up.

Keep clicking the top shows icon at the time. The next show will then replace the top one in your rapid clicking, you will have already clicked the new pair that you want. Saves the mouse work of moving across the screen. Those tenths of seconds can mean getting them and not! Shave ticks shave ticks shave ticks!

I was 4 for 4.

    this is correct. and do not ever 'refresh.' just use the backspace key on your keyboard after you have seen the 'buy' button for the first time. just keep hitting backspace until hitting 'buy' actually works (when it doesn't work it will read 'temp out of stock'... just hit backspace and click 'buy' again... do this over and over and over)

    I understand wanting to go to that many shows, but I also see the other side. Ed's setlists for the west coast leg really weren't too different.

    Because the schedule prevents attendance at 12.

    I understand why you ask though! ;)

    because 10c doesn't limit the number of shows. If I had the money and no kids I would do the same thing.

    I hope I am 1 for 1 after today.

    I was like 30 for 30 untill this ed ved show, the ten club told me they clear their system every 15 mins from the start and refresh the tickets, and like every 15 mins we were getting the buy icon, it just kept getting screwed up after that, I was getting 48 clicks a min, that made my hand tired.

    Thanks for the understanding. Unlike many others, I don't go for the need to see 85 different unique songs. It's an intimate night with my musical hero in a small place. This may very well not pass my chance again. It's also a chance to travel and see some beautiful cities that America has to offer.

    And disable Java and Javascript. So I've been told...

    But clearing the cookies made all the difference for me!!!!

    Like Newark, Harlem NYC, and Milwaukee?

    I do Bridge work in Jersey, every bridge I have ever worked on in Newark is loaded with crack pipes, and crack heads...Hopefully United Palace is cooler in person than on the map, and I am a softy for Beer and Cheese...so I partially agree...

    I think the point is that by you getting what is essentially the same "intimate night" 4 times, you prevent 3 other people from doing so once.

    I am only going to 2 shows and if there was only one in Toronto, I would only be gonig to one. But to each his own.

    And there's also a good chance that if I decided to sit it out that 3 guys going to their 9th shows would have swept in preventing them to get it also. It's a personal decision. If I feel like it's worth my money, I'll go. If I don't, I won't. In a situation like this, not going to a show you want to see on the off-chance that the tickets you would have gotten would have gone to a person going to their one and only are silly.

    all you have to do is buy a sticker first to make sure its working, I do it all the time so it wasnt the cookies, its just their system, and it just is beat, even when i got pj tickets for all the 08 shows I remeber how frustrating it was, wasted like 5 afternoons 0obsessing over pj tickets, it seems foolish looking back, but it is what it is.

    Well, I'm going to Boston... I live in NY... and then DC.

    Three beautiful cities with plenty to offer! Not bad in 2 and a half weeks time with Eddie Vedder waiting for you in each.

    You could repay my understanding with a ticket for one of the DC shows.

    :D - j/k, that wasn't my intention. But if you do have an extra ...
