    Got both with Microsoft Internet Explorer!
    MSG1, no problems, got it within 5 minutes.
    MSG2, omg, it took forever, but finally got it around 2:30pm.

    I am very happy, got both, might be going solo on both, but that's OK.
    I'm trying again tomorrow for Hartford!

    I used Firefox for both today and got MSG1 with no problems, and MSG2 with relatively no problems.

    It definitely does make a difference which browser you use...and we only have IE at work, so THANK YOU to whoever started a thread about this yesterday that reminded me to install firefox for this.

    I tried on IE just as an experiment, and I'd say I could load pj.com 1 out of every 8 times was able to on firefox.
    it's funny when things change so much, it's all state of mind...

    Awesome. I always used to say that dialup was the way of the future.

    I'm at work right now, but in 06 when I bought tix when I was home I used dialup as well to get tix.

    Must be a South Philly thing. ;)

    used Firefox and got MSG1 within a few minutes. Still extremely stressful but... I guess I'm luckier than a lot of others out there

    NO MSG 1, but got MSG 2.


    Tried a different strategy for MSG 2 though.


    Instead of going to http://www.pearljam.com/goods/


    I went to http://secure.pearljam.com/store/

    This is very useful. Lucky for me I got through on the regular site, but I will have to try and remember this.

    I got through both times on Firefox, but don't think that makes a huge difference. There is a lot of luck involved and also what speed internet you have. But mostly, lots of luck.

    I used IE for both shows, but it was a nightmare. Looks like you Firefox users had a much better experience. I'll remember that next time. Thanks for the info! :)

    I used Firefox, but I don;t think that had anything to do with me getting tickets. It was just luck. The site crash because they couldn't handle the traffic. I just kept frantically hitting refresh.

    Firefox. MSG 2 only. I agree that browser probably didn't make a difference, just luck and maybe some experience. And definitely need to be logged in before tickets are posted, I think.

    Shut out from MSG1 but for MSG2, I made sure I didn't hit reload but instead kept hitting the "tickets" button, that seemed to make it freak out less. Tickets in cart at 2:02 but then site crashed after I submitted my credit card info. I kept hitting the "try again" button and had to do so each step of the way until somehow the tickets showed up again and I entered in my credit card info and held my breath. I think it was close to 3:00 at that point so I was surprised but incredibly thankful! I'm ecstatic. [OT] Dying to hear State of Love and Trust live!!

    That's what I did, wasn't gonna get away with frantically hitting F5 for 45 minutes straight, plus work doesn't allow me to download Firefox, and I wanted to use both browsers!

    Would it screw things up if I had 2 laptops going and logged in on both laptops under the same username? Anyone do that?
