As a poster fan, I love Brad’s “legacy” site.  The cart feature is awesome!  I think other artists should look into that customization or something like it for their respective sites. It is definitely fan friendly.  I get with the pandemic and all, the need to wait until more steady business returns before big expenditures now.  I had a Williams STL and an Ames Baltimore carted when the rug was pulled out from under me before I could complete check out.  Elation to sadness was near instantaneous.  I’m sure countless others had the same crushing experience.  Getting a show edition for STL slightly made up for the one and still hoping for a Balt show edition whenever those go up.  Just wanting something to level the playing field against “the bots” or whatever automatically carts and checks out faster than I blink.  

While the carting thing is great for fans , I can’t see other artists adding it to their shops.  Brad’s posters took hours to officially sell out because people had issues with the site and checking out. And even then copies were back up for sale last evening.  And if you read Brad’s last post he was basically exhausted from the whole process.  Compare that to other artists who have sites that allow for a complete sell out in less than a minute.  Why would you trade that for a whole day of site glitches and stress?

Commitment to customer service.

No doubt.  He rocks it. 

 I just question if other artists would be willing to deal with all the headaches. 

You're assuming that Brad's setup that allows time to complete checkout is only possible with a glitchy legacy system. But there are plenty of modern sites which will hold the item in your cart with a timer to complete checkout. Ticketmaster, front gate, some hotels, etc. They still have efficient sellouts without it being an all-day headache. That said, I don't know that it's necessarily a better system. People seem to think they would have a better chance beating the bots to the cart, but every ticketmaster drop there are a million people complaining that they could never get any tickets in their cart because of the damn bots and scalpers. But they wind up wasting an hour waiting to see if any more tickets became available from people who had them in their cart and failed to complete the checkout process. With most artist drops, at least you'll know if you struck out within about 30 seconds and can go on with your day.

Lets not forget that all those companies mentioned are million/billion dollar companies that have created their own unique infrastructure. Brad had his site built from the ground up and it probably cost him a good amount when he did it. The majority of artists and galleries use Shopify because that's the easiest to integrate to a website and manage sales. Shopify does not allow for cart hoarding. BigCartel used to be an option that allowed for cart hoarding but they have done away with it as well. So yes, it is awesome that Brad has this website but it is also not a feasible option for the majority of regular artists whether it be because of time, money, or both. 

Understood, but it seems like Shopify or a competitor could integrate that feature without making it prohibitively expensive if there were demand for it.

Strange.  Every browser/device I try it just spins out as if the site doesn't exist.

Much agreed.  Denver is (was) my main concert and it's my least favorite so far.
