U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 18

We'll be trying for 7th and 8th. Which could leave us with tickets for both dates, but whatever - U2-ticket-purchasing is a dangerous game. We know the risks.

*shivers with anticipation*

*realizes it's just an open window*

"Risks"?? "Risks"?? Winding up with tickets for TWO dates is a "risk"?? *smacks Ellie upside the head*

(BTW, what, do I not get a courtesy "This conversation has dried up, see you later." PM anymore?)

I dunno Tiff...I tried w/ two browsers (twice I think) and both times the first window that was in the queue timed out and said there was an error and to return to the event page. I'd read a couple of similar experiences on interferece. It's enough to make me leery and not willing to take that risk! Dunno? That's why I'm going the multiple computer route!

MABEL!!! DON'T MAKE ME EVEN MORE SCARED NOW!! *squiff*

Wait, is this for multiple browsers ANYWHERE on TM, or just for the same date??

---

For me, it timed out when I tried for the same date (I don't think I tried for multiple dates w/ more than one browser). I just know I pulled up the date (I think it was one of the added Boston dates) and I clicked 2 tix for Best Available (or whatever) and then as it went into the "Searching for Tix" window (you know, the one that says "You have a X-minutes, Do not refresh/go back or you'll loose your place in line") and while it was doing that I quickly opened another browser and tried again for the same date/same request, and when I checked back on the first window, it went blank and said something like "a system error has occurred, please return to the event page." I have no idea if this happens every time, or if it just happens if the system is particularly busy (like a mini-system overload) or what, but it was enough to scare me into not trying it again!!!

Edited, because Jim replied w/ the times for the added Boston dates!

One other thing I did remember. When searching for tickets and it gives you an estimated time, I found that when it said 1 or 2 minutes, it came back with tickets. When it said anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes (yes I did get a 15 minute timeframe), it would come back and say that Ticketmaster was busy, try back later.

I wonder if my timing out had to do w/ the fact that I opened the other browser while the other one was searching (Jim, you said you had all three open from the get-go)...Damn, I wish I could remember what the time was on that Tampa try when I came up w/ GAs! I think it was 7 or 8...I do know the Boston tix I got for the spring said 15-20 (it didn't take that long, but I was like "OH MY GOD!!! 20 MINUTES!!!") I honestly don't think there's any rhyme or reason to any of this! Totally luck of the draw!

#1, it's totally not a stupid question because I was wondering the same thing. They don't have a clock, I've figured out, but I've also noticed that on my computer, the selling actually starts about 4 minutes past whatever time is advertised. I get on there 10 minutes early though, and keep refreshing, refreshing, refreshing, and then scream when it goes on sale. (I really do start to yelp.)

No I'm not trying for MSG even though I would love to see them in NYC. I have tickets for one of the May shows and both Dec. shows all in Boston so I am pretty much broke! I live about 10 minutes outside of Boston. I would have to come up with money for a train ticket and hotel for MSG on top of the ticket so it just isn't possible.

*having difficulty breathing* Okay, enough!! This is going to get me psyched out.

But Allie, if we have an abundance of tickets and I'm living in Hali, will you be coming with me to NYC??

Jim2, you're going to have an amazing time. 3 shows including GAs?? Lucky bastard. I guess I can't brag about my two shows (down to one) now, can I?

I really hope so!!!

Same thing happened to me w/ one window having tix on sale and another not for the spring leg, Tiff! It was really weird. I even closed all the windows and started with a fresh window (while the other computers were searching) and it still came up that they weren't on sale (actually, I think it was for the added Sat. Boston date). Very strange...and I didn't know about F5 either!!! Good to know, good to know!

Oh and Tiff, I must say that I love your Bono avatar. As much as I tend to enjoy longer hair, I rather like Bono's Pop era close cut!!!


ETA: Damn...you changed it!!!
