It's that time of year... (again)

SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON

Who's going? Who got through the TicketLeap nightmare? WHAT IS THEIR CAPACITY LIKE, 5?!

In before people actually getting to go!

Haha, I meant people who are actually getting to go to the con at all, not because of any TicketLeap problems. ^^;

What was their deal anyway? I'm curious now. Timeouts or something?

Basically, they've had Comic-Con reg like three times this year and each time there have been massive server glitches and fail. THIS TIME some people managed to get through, but rumor has it, they're already sold out of 4-day passes and TicketLeap just keeps giving people the same 'over capacity' message.

And then you refresh and open another tab which probably doesn't help, but y'know uhh. Yeah.

All in all, we were on the phone for an hour going "FUCK YOU COMIC-CON I DON'T EVEN WANT TO GO IF YOU'RE GONNA BE LIKE THAT" and in the end we gave them our money anyway. It was just massively frustrating this year for no damn good reason.

I have gotten to the processing order page like five times now. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

/kicks all the things

If this doesn't go through before I have to work in an hour and a half, I will be seriously pissed.

Just checked, nothing yet. :/

TICKETS, THEY HAVE BEEN PROCURED. At least for Friday and Sunday! Hopefully there will be refunds so I can manage to grab Thursday and Saturday too.

HIGH 5!

Yeah, I've heard that there was massive glitching, so there might even be some 4 days left, depending on the refunds/reassessment of actual tickets sold. Either way, they have once again dropped the ball terribly.

Aaaaah, I hope so. /keeps fingers crossed

They seriously have. MAN, COMIC CON, FOR A GROUP OF NERDS you guys totally suck at coming up with ways for buying tickets that won't break the internet.

Seriously. And it's not like they're the only convention on the planet either? Yeah, they might be VERY HIGH PROFILE and have to deal with a lot of traffic, but...

Surely they could just get Ticket Master to run it or something. Even a $10 convenience fee would be worthwhile to avoid this nonsense.

[identity profile] tyriangalley.livejournal.com 2011-02-06 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously. I have tried three times in the past six months to get tickets and I am SO getting tickets ahead of time if I can at the con. This is ridiculous.

[identity profile] bitchinfrills.livejournal.com 2011-02-06 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, when we were in the 'over capacity' hell, my friend and I texted our other friend who got in on the test run and were like IF WE DON'T GET TICKETS WE ARE GIVING YOU MONEY AND YOU ARE BUYING THEM FOR US AT THE CON. B|

But I have no idea why this has been so complicated. There is seriously no reason.

Aaah! I should have done that. MAN.

Me neither. ._. Comic-Con, get on this.

Not me. ;_; Emerald City Comic Con, though!

BUT GOOD LUCK. I've heard Emerald City is a good show. :3
