"in my cart"/"sold out" ?

[teblake]

ok - i'm a bit naive. but i get on the ticket web site @9:02am today, request four 4 day passes. i get the prompt that they have been added to my cart. i then proceed to hit the "check out" button and get no response for the next 5 minutes. finally i get to the check out page, type in all of my credit card info and hit the complete sale button and get the message that "this item is no longer available".

so they were in my cart and i'm attempting to pay for them(there was also a message saying my cart would not expire for another 9 minutes & 46 seconds when i hit "complete sale") and then they are actually NOT available and when i tried to put four 4 day passes back in my cart the page says "sold out". just doesn't seem fair that if they were in my cart and my cart hadn't "expired" yet how they could be removed & sold to someone else. again - i guess i'm just very naive.

oh well - i just hope they didn't get sold to any scalper scum....

In the same boat. Looking for 4 tix, been going for years. Ill crawl the forums for tickets but I'm not missing this year because of scalpers. If anyone has tix or knows reasonable sellers would love to know!

The same thing happened to me, so I bought individual day tickets instead. I wonder if the system got overloaded, this all took place in the first five minutes of sales and apparently four day passes were still available. It's still a good deal and I'm looking forward to my third year in a row, but it's becoming more of a challenge each year.
