That sucked! I got on at 4pm and had the same damn RedSox screen over and over until the Final notice... NO tickets for me!
 
 P.s. I will be the drunk naked guy in the clown suit at the door protesting my own stupidity for using Ticket.scum.  If anyone has an extra - pleeeease let me know! please.

Don't they know who I am?  I'm their biggest fan, and I go to every 9:30 show and I listen to HFS all day.  I have a RIGHT to those tickets!

Well that came out of nowhere, but fine.  I'm lame too, but at least I'm not complaining about something that happened as well as it could considering 5000 people were vying for 3 or 400 tickets.

I JUST GOT A 2 TICKETS FROM THAT VIRTUAL WAITING ROOM !!! I LEFT IT ON UNTIL NOW AND GOT THROUGH - WHO KNEW

Ok..I know that credit cards get denied freeing up tickets, etc...that being said, I'm still being refreshed in the waiting room on three browsers...what would others do -- give it up knowing it's sold out or hope you'll go somewhere with them?  bc why would they keep refreshing and not just go to some page and say, "Dude, it's over, let it go"...

I already said it on Craigs List, but I mind as well repeat it here:
 
 
 There's got to be another way?? For the umpteenth time I have been unsuccessful in getting concert tickets in a pre-sale or actual sale. This time it was the Beastie Boys for 15 bucks on Thursday night. Sure, I had the pre-sale password, a T1 Internet connection... got in the digital line on time just to have the site crash over and over again. WTF?? It's a big surprise there's going to be heavy Internet traffic at this specific time? Is this not fucking tickets.com's business? Why don't you take some of the gobs of money you making (granted this show was pretty cheap) and reinvest it in some additional hardware and software. Oh why... because the tickets will get sold either way irregardless of who is first but on some random probability that one's browser doesn't crash. F U tickets.com and your shitty customer service and web site. And F U too 9:30 club for not expecting more from your ticket vendor. My only solace is Franz Ferdinand wasnâ??t popular enough to sell out in 2 minutes flat too.

thanks - that was mine  :cool:

do you honestly think ticketbastard would have handled it any differently...
 
 why does everyone automatically blame the venue and vendors for not getting this an that... how about the beastie boys, capitol records, and whfs?  should you be directing complaints about the way the show was handled to them?
 
 IMHO the beastie boys management handled this very poorly.  First they encouraged people to become WHFS comrades to get tickets.  Then they annouce the "exclusive" internet sale via thier email list.  Which means that people from all over the country and beyond now know about the sale.  Had it been WHFS and 9:30 club most of the people trying to get tickets would have been local and smaller.
