… fairly certain there’s even software out there now which creates “waiting rooms” so you don’t need tons of hardware to contend with very few high load situations
I think its scalpers. they are all over the mumford tours this year. followed them to telluride and clogging our servers with this extra side business they got going on with a SOLD OUT festival
checkout crashes every time? :huh
Anyone had success yet?
DONE! :cheers Very annoying crashing but all good now. Only 30 mins of stress, now back to Packin’ for Telluride!
I finally got through using Google Chrome. Internet Explorer would not load checkout for me. I ended up with two more trampled tickets than I planned for some reason, but I’m guessing that won’t be a problem. Pretty relieved at this point after getting shut out of the lottery.
that was the most nerve-wracking half hour of my life. but i did get Trampled by Turtles tix (hopefully good ones since i added them to my cart right at 9) and Yonder tickets. so i’m happy.
i kept refreshing and kept trying with several pages open…
some took longer than others, and then one just put me through at a pretty normal rate. i also found that logging into festivarian mercantile made the process much more smooth than trying to purchase tickets as a visitor…
I managed to get thru with Firefox, but I was close to throwing the macbook out the window a few times. I got shut out of the lottery, so I’m happy to score Yonder and E/N tix.
