I'm trying to get tickets to San Diego Comic Con.
I'm failing miserably.
Their registration process is a nightmare of waiting for pages to load. I started the process at 12:01, got on to the first page of registration, saw that there were some four more steps after this, then the whole system froze, and I can't even get the first page to load again. Apparently some people are getting through, because 13% of the tickets are sold already, and here I am after 40 minutes without even being able to start the process.
Fail, SDCC people! Epic fail!
[EDIT]
12:45, and page one finally loads. Still at 13% sold.
12:53, and I'm getting a 'link broken' error for page two.
12:57, and registration pages now show 'Service Unavailable'. Sales still at 13%
13:04, and I'm back to waiting for page one to load.
13:13, and still no page one. Sales still at 13%. This is f*cking ridiculous.
13:16, and registration is broken again.
13:30, and service still unavailable. Soooo glad I took off work for this.
13:41, and there are still no new ticket sales. Clearly, this is a problem that is going to go on for awhile.
13:42, and SDCC has given up, and posted a message to check back on November 8 for a new registration time.
Thank you, SDCC. I missed work for this.
