bouche Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 these are always stressful ticket sale events. server capacities are never properly covered. the worst is most definitely having tickets in a basket and losing the game anyway. In this case, tickets get put in the Waste basket, so what do you expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOutGuy Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 exactly bouche... i just felt like it was a w.a.s.t.e.d experience using the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Fuck that presale. Had tix 3 times and no transactions were successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Oh and thanks for putting them on sale at 10:27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Web-bots werent the only thing everyone was battling today.I couldnt get through at work, pretty sure they have blocked us from trying to buy tickets since the exact same thing has happened the past few times I have tried, but WASTE did us wonders when we got tickets to both shows during Radiohead's tiny theater tour in 06ish. But my question is do people honestly expect to get tickets to any concert/sporting event they want anytime they go onsale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 When I get tickets in my basket I expect to be able to pay for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groove Fetish Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I can't find the bell centre on sale through ticketmaster- anyone know when and where the regular sale goes on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 i will be surprised if downsview sells out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I had tickets selected on 15 separate instances, and was unable to checkout a single one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Scalper tickets are already going for up to $400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Photogeek Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I managed to get two for Downsview. It did seem like a bit of a clusterfuck though. My screen "froze" several times and the whole process took about 15 minutes (to go through like 3 screens). Also tickets seem to pop up every once and a while so you may want to check back throughout the day. I know some people who got tix about 30 minutes after they went onsale (and had been "sold out").

Guest Low Roller Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm glad that some people achieved moderate success. For every ticket that one of us got, the scalperbots got one less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Bell Centre ticketing is done through evenko. You'll be wishing that it was handled by Ticketmaster after dealing with their shite system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I got an email from evenko regarding a presale for Montreal on Friday morning at 10am.https://wroom.centrebell.ca/eventShopper.html?lang=en&preFill=1&wr=38adb651-b816-4765-976c-f08fa2cb560f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Well I fucked that up again. Didn't read the part about throwing tickets back more than twice. Dammit. Will have to try again tomorrow, unless anyone has 2 extra floor tix for Montreal. The 'waiting room' system was pretty good, I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) It must be truly random too, as I had three browsers open (IE, FF, Chrome) and the one I fired up last was actually the one that got me in first.I missed those rules too and got booted from one order screen, but was throwing back shitty seats and ended up with some that were much better.

phishtaper Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 AD listed it right off the bat, but I'd like to underscore the fact that Dundas Ontario native Dan Snaith, aka Caribou, is opening for many of these shows. Who says math phd geeks aren't welcome at Radiohead shows? Oh no, wait, nobody has ever said that. Anyway, congrats Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipzoso Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I know I would have paid as much for them if there was no opener, but knowing its Caribou makes giving that large money all the more easier. Very very excited to see them open. I missed them each time they came to town on the Swim tours and before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I have terrible seats from the public on-sale. If anyone has extras that are not terrible, please think of me. PLEASE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
