    nice plug but the system works fine for 95% of the sales

    people were able to buy tickets, so I fail to see why they need an ecommerce upgrade

    I got shut out for night two, but thats the way it goes. Some get em some dont-its really all thre is to it.

    If I remember right, the system worked just fine for all the shows in 2006.

    I'm also a web developer, but I don't think it's a problem with the actual website. I think it's more of a problem with the server(s). I think the servers are trying to accomodate for more users than it can handle. I've never experienced an error outside of having the site crash because of too many users, so it isn't the website's code that is a problem.

    Pearl Jam just has too many fans ;):D

    We all know that the Ten Club site is maintained by Stone using a Packard Bell computer with an Intel Pentium 166 Mhz processor with MMX technology and Microsoft Frontpage 98.

    On a serious note, I wish they would take this guy, OR SOMEBODY, up on the offer! The reality is, MAYBE 3 to 4 times every other year, this whole fiasco happens. The boards, the Goods section, and the site as whole sits pretty "dormant" waiting for tour news. Then we all go fucking crazy and come out of the word work.

    I wish they would consider finding some kind of outside ticket managment company, that sounds an awful lot like..... Ticketbastard! :( DAMN IT! I just think if they could outsource the tickets for those 3 or 4 times every other year or so, everyone involved wouldn't be pulling their hair out.

    I have some constructive input on a ticketing system I saw once too. When the Cubs got into the playoffs last year they had a WONDERFUL ticket sales system online! The Cubbies in the playoffs creates the same kind of mass hsysteria on epic proportions. Hell, the cubs even have people waiting outside in Feb for a few days just to get a wristband which is an "opportunity" to buy tickets on a different day! They call you and say "you're in group _____, you can buy tickets at this date and time."

    So anyway, I went online right at the start of the sale, and when I saw that the server was busy, it kept me on the page, and had a message saying that I should keep this browser open, and that the page, and my que position for tickets, would refresh itself automatically and look for available seats again! Granted I didn't find any, but I wasn't crashing the website with traffic by opening multiple windows, crashing the browser, and screaming in agony and saddness as I NEVER got to see the "BUY" icon or even the purchasing page for that matter! If any of you programers know HOW they made that work, tell the 10C! I'm wondering if StubHub ran it because it does appear if they have affiliation with the team for ticket sales?

    Just some thoughts..

    99% of the time, PJ's ecommerce system would probably run fine on a single server. < 1% of the time, it probably needs a few dozen servers to run smoothly.

    So, if you only need to service a large population once or twice a year, your best option is something like Amazon EC2, where you basically pay for the server resources you need and can scale up instantly based on demand ("Oh ya, we are having a ticket sale tomorrow.... lets fire up 20 extra servers for that.").

    The only drawback is you have to find top notch people to set it up and be available for support if something goes wrong.

    ... with all the bother for something that's not a core business process, now you can see why some bands just go with Software-As-A-Service providers like musictoday.com
