Game 5 Tix on Sale @ 10am tomorrow

I would have decided based on the seats I would have gotten, airfare. I probably would have given it to my dad or whatever in Portland.

if not, i would have sold it to someone here for what I paid.

 

You realize those letters don't get taken seriously. You have to keep them short and calm to expect any sort of positive outcome.

If you waited in the queue for more than a few minutes, then you had some sort of connection error. I had 4 friends get in and out of it all in less than under 5 minutes.

 

I'm an effective letter writer. Who knows what happened, many people were stuck in queue

i probably won't waste the time. who knows

 

The ticket page is now unavailable..

"We are currently updating event information. Please try again in a few minutes."

 

still available for me, just not finding any seats, which is weird because earlier it gave me a message that it was sold out.

 

HEY I FINALLY FUCKING GOT THROUGH. 1 hour 18 minutes later.

Event is no longer on sale

Fuckers.

 

I wonder if anyone bought that ticket alert thing, seems like a big waste to me.

 

dropped a short email in their feedback form:

Your website to buy playoff tickets was terrible. I waited 1 hour 20 minutes in "Queue" when I logged in right at 10am. Please try to get it together next time so I don't waste a tremendous amount of time while scalpers are scooping them up and selling them for 4-5x face value on Stubhub or Craigslist.

 

"Event is no longer on sale"

 

that is awesome.

 

lame.

 

Nice work Alex!

If all the Game 5 tix sold out, then the online system obviously worked for many people.

 

I didn't write any of those craigslist postings. Just found it amusing, and wanted it to post it here before they got taken down.

 

that's a rather stupid assumption.

 

I do enjoy the fact that all these craigslist postings mention how they're season ticket holders and want to sell them. If you're a season ticket holder, don't you WANT to go to the game after going through the long haul of the season? Seems pretty fishy to me.

 

Really? Assuming they sold 1000+ tix in an hour, then it's "stupid" to think that the website worked for 250+ people (4 tix each)?


I have a friend who bought 4 tix and didnt have any problem.

 

That does not take into account the many others who did not receive tickets, or who were in a mysterious queue with no updates or who had tickets in their basket and lost them due to system errors.

Unless you are assuming that only 250 people tried to get tickets?

 

So what is the "perfect way" for them to sell tickets, because it seems like people have complained about just about every method now. Just a combo of all o fthe methods? Might have made it worse, from people online, to phone calls, and in person sales. Would have been a mess. People couldn't get through on the phone, so they complained, couldn't get through online, so they complained, and couldn't wait outside, so they complained.
