Hmmm....it's called supply and demand my friend.  Very low supply and very high demand.  Those presale passwords went out to thousands of people, who then shared them with thousands of people.

It took me until 4:20 to get my order processed.  I kept getting that damn BoSox page at first and actually I though that was some sort of screw up and I closed that page a few times.  Anyway even though I got ticktes I agree that it was confusing at best.  What the hell does the Boston Red Sox have to do with Beatie Boys tickets?  BTW I have two computers here on my home network and a friend across town tried as well.  I was the only one of the three who got a pair of tickets.  Oh well I guess the kids won't be going to this show.

another person with a b-day on thursday that got locked out of tix...i was on for almost a half an hour starting at like 4:02 and was taken to the same red sox "virtual waiting room" and didn't get shit!...the closest I got was requesting the number of tix, and then that came back "can't submit due to high volume so resubmit" message...so I kept doing that forever and never got anything, then a message came back saying "seats no longer available"...this sucks so much ass!

here's a glimpse of the red sox waiting room.

 one of the 4 PC's we had running let it reload several dozen times starting at 4:01 and ending at 4:23. nothing changed, it just kept reloading.
 
 quality.

Put the blame on HFS for setting up such a lame contest for this show. I remember the days of camping out in line overnight outside of Tower to get tickets. Now, thanks to Tickets.com, anybody can get these tickets, not the true fans. Well, we can still try to be caller 9! Bah!

die-hards anymore these days get the nix when it comes to going to their favorite shows - it bites *extremely hard*

oh?  and how AM i then, missy.

[chaz]

Yeah I'd much rather spend the night outside the record store than buy tickets on the phone or on line.  
 
 People, there were a very limited # of tickets available online.  930 only holds about 1000 people and I'm sure hfs had hundreds set aside not available for sale.  Get over it.  It's not 930's or tickets.com's fault you couldn't get in.

no luck here. ah well, just sucks because i kinda have friday off

Huh?  How do you know the folks on the internet today aren't true fans?  What on earth is a true fan -- someone who has the time to camp out in front of a big chain record store?  Sorry, I have a job -- I must not be a true fan.
 
 That's just lame.

[wballz33]

complete disaster.  Ive been a part of at least a dozen presales and never had to deal with this cr@p.  Luckily i didnt have to sit in the Red Sox waiting room.  All i got was
 
 "We're sorry, we were unable to process your request due to high transaction volumes. Please try to submit your request again"
 
 In fact i still have a window up trying it and getting the same message, weird .
