    I've primarily ben trying from my phone the last 4/5 (however many) days but the refresh on the computer is so much faster.  We'll see.
    what do you figure your average "refreshes per hour" is on your phone?

    I’ve done nothing but the phone. Manually refreshing the app every second. It’s going to cost me my soul. 😆 
    jeez, my thumb hurts just thinking about this.

    My best guess is 40/minute so 2,400 per hour

    wow. that's on the app? back arrow - show-back arrow-show-back arrow-show? Since there are VF tix for TO and HAM - i've been using the "apply filters" rather than in/out and having to click "Got it".

    I thought about that but does it only filter the current results or does it reload all new results?

    YYYYYEEEESSSS!!!!

    I just bagged the 2 in Sec 318!!!

    This nightmare is OVER!!!

    Holy fuck.




    Congrats man, enjoy the show. 

    How many hours would you say it takes a day to keep checking and score? (Not including the time commenting on here).

    some serious perseverance among the Faithfull.
    I'm not sure you are gonna wanna hear the answer to that.

    Whereas many people here kinda joke around about OCD, I really do have a pretty decent dose of it.  My mom used to say when I was a kid that once I locked down on something there was no point in even trying to get me to let it go.

    I would say that since Tuesday night I spent the better part of 12 hours a day refreshing the site.

    It's a cliche, but my philosophy in life has always been that if you want it more than anyone else, you will get it.

    Out of the 100% of people that were originally clammering to get tickets, we are probably down to like 50% that are still actively really 'trying'.

    Out of that 50% I'd bet that only a small amount have been as diligent as the people in this thread.   If you keep at it as most normal people give up, the odds will start to tilt in your favor. 

    That was the mind game I played with myself since this thing opened, and wallah....sweet, sweet success.

    Thanks. I am likely going to one show so I'm very lucky. I just know you've been on here dealing with the east coast blues like me.

    I'm not sure if I have the stamina to pound refresh for 12 hours. And if I did, I'd probably be zombied out when tickets did appear I'd freeze or keep refreshing. Congrats. Good job!

    For the Hamilton tickets they give you time to complete your order?? Not for Baltimore wtf

    Because Those are vitality foundation tickets, not F2F 
    That’s exactly why
    I get that they’re not f2f but that seems shiesty
    It's because there's no real fan to fan system.  All they did was used their regular resell system but fixed the price on it.   The system was designed for scalper prices so tickets never move fast enough to need worry about them leaving a cart.   The vitalogy tickets are using the regular system (that's usually used for platinum tickets) which has the timer.
    Right. It's designed to help the seller not the buyer. It's not fair to the seller for their system to lock up tickets for 10 minutes for a potential sale

    Funny i think we will see a second wave of F2f when then people holding tickets see there is no trade value. Still seeing a lot people trying to trade show for show, when we know its really not possible with the new system... Same show, may have some trades GA for low sides.... or floor res for side, once you are in the building.. also week of show will see the next push.. trickle until then.. good luck all.
    Shhhhh. Secret sauce. Once you're in the building. Hmmmm.

    I went back to the browser on my phone. A zillion times faster than the app.

    Are you refreshing multiple locations at the same time, or just focused on Hamilton?

    Mostly Hamilton but mix in Toronto too.  Made the mistake of putting down the phone to pull the popcorn out of the microwave for the kids....picked the phone back up and there they were sitting there..... So close....

    The rush you guys WILL get when you see the sale has gone through is better than the best sex you've ever had in your life.

    Never back down! Never surrender!
