    People are really paying $499 for non-GA floor tickets to a stadium show where you’re 40/50yds from the stage without any incline to see the stage? These prices are hilarious.

    Bless your heart.

    When I was like 5 I went to NSYNC with my family and we had to wait in this big circle in a warehouse and they just like randomly selected a place and said the line starts with this person. I would honestly rather go do that again in person than wait in another ticketmaster queue

    Hey, people paid $500+ for the back of an arena for Blink and you won't be able to see shit.

    Maybe so many people shouldn't have been verified if it causes the entire system to shut down.
     
  5. Have most got punted to the queue paused screen or still on the progress bar without movement? Actually in the office today and have had to switch wifi a bunch as I’ve been moving around and don’t know if that totally fucked it or not

    Coming up on 50 minutes with no movement here, and my screen has never switched to paused.

    All this hype and then all these issues with the site....I'm glad I didn't even bother to register or get myself excited about even going to this tour.

    Remind me not to go anywhere near Gillette that weekend in May lol.

    Also dumb, these acts are out here just straight gouging, it’s gross.

    I’ll just wait for the day she plays a festival or something. Not an act on the planet I’d drop $250+ for on a headline show.

    Ticketmaster is never good, but this is just about the worst I've seen in terms of communication.

    Usually when they do pause the queues, they put the message up. They also update that little message window every 10-15 minutes with updates on availability. Add in the rampant reports of codes not working, and well, what a time that absolutely everyone predicted.

    Got through, now my access code won't work. Fuck everyone involved in this, including the artists and venues.

  13. If I sit here for another hour and then my code doesn’t work I might rip the screen off my laptop

    Blink is particularly galling because why? But then you remember that they love money above anything else.

    I'm going to try for the Capital One presale later but, honestly, I think I'm going to book a hotel and flights and just buy tickets as they drop in price closer to the dates.

    I checked the source code and it's definitely paused. Says over an hour for expected service time. If you have 2000+ you can also check your place in line by opening the source.

    I want to grab lunch at Dunkin, but don't want to miss any chance that could happen in that 12 minute span

    Yea, Q hasn’t moved in over an hour

    Yeah, I mean, I feel for everyone that's still in the queue, but it probably won't let you buy tickets once you get through anyway, so...

    Well the queue I hear is paused because of the presale code.

    What a monumental fuck up

    this is a highly tweeted complaint on twitter and my guess as to why everything paused if they’re trying to “fix it”

    I want to know what they're going to do for people who got through the queue and are finding their code doesn't work.

    My expectation is that they tell you to get fucked.
