Ticketmaster website

Does the Ticketmaster site stop working when you use it after an hour (sometimes even 30 minutes of browsing through the site)? It happens to me, whether at work or at home. It's weird. Is there a fix to this?

Sometimes I just browse through other venues to see who's coming up...and it gives me the error message (can't find site).

ive not had that problem with ticketmaster. i more often do that through ticketweb as they sell most tickets here. but today i was doing that with ticketmaster, since bizarrely enough - the vhs or beta show at bowery is being sold through ticketmaster. figured id see what else they were selling

Ticketmaster works fine for me..

Ticketmaster stopped working for me on Saturday after 40 minutes of trying to get good tickets to The Cure show in Fairfax. The Web site remained down for 24 hours, and I got a suspicious call from someone saying they were Ticketmaster and they needed my credit card information to confirm my purchase.
 
 Weird stuff.

Yes. If you surf on their site long enough it will lock up-it's based on the number of links you open not the time that you are on there.  It considers you a scalper ready to pounce on tickets.

i guess you've opened a ticket outlet that offers tickets at a great price and with no ONE SINGLE FUCKING problem.  come on, chop chop; get with it.

We really only have three TM venues in San Francisco: The Fillmore, Bill Graham Civic Aud., and The Warfield (I rarely visit other larger outdoor venues) and they are all on or near major public transportation lines.  All others use tickets.com, ticketweb.com, virtuoso.com or fax back.
 
 Therefore, I use ticketmaster only when absolutely necessary and that was once in the last 2-4 years (Smashing Pumpkins residency), otherwise I make the effort to go to the venue.  Even when I buy sports tickets these days, I buy from the season ticket holder exchanges.  
 
 Venerable recently discovered that if you go to one notorious TM/Live Nation venue (The Fillmore) on Sunday's, they don't charge you any fee for purchasing tickets.  So now we buy our Fillmore tickets on Sundays, after we stop at Amoeba, of course.
 
 So therefore, no, I didn't "open" a great ticket web site, I just stopped using a crappy one that rips you off and make other arrangements.

I used to do the same thing, *shrug*
 
 They also sell Warfield tickets at the Fillmore box office but I'm sure you know that already!
 
 I should be in SF during the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass fest...we should meet!

Hippie.

Should I be nervous that at 10:03 (about 11 minutes after me visiting the Ticketmaster web site to verify the TM/Live Nation venues in San Francisco), Live Nation sent me an email listing all the shows coming up in San Francisco?

I live right next to the park, but would never go to the festval (contrary to Bombay's thinking, I couldn't be further from a hippie).  So, after the show, let's pick a bar and get a drink.
