I'm just trying to get back into the message boards. So no one is able to get a code either? This will be quite a nightmare for HQ over there if it isn't back up and running soon. I can only imagine what people will say! DOH! And for people still trying to get tix. Eesh! I can only imagine!!

No luck yet for Tampa here...had to pull up some KK to keep an even chill, heh...I mean how can you go off the rails when KK is playing in background

I just hope for their sake that *everyone* is locked out, not just a few people...or Katie, bar the door!

OK, so now I just got some screen come up at the FC listing the 1st presale shows (Vancouver, MSG, Montreal, Toronto, Fenway), saying that the presale will now start at 12 noon local time (???????)... (I'm also locked out)

:shock:

Ya that was the overload page from the very first presale...they haven't changed the redirect/busy message since then...I just keep clicking away LOL
Good Luck all!!!!

by **Divemistress of the Dark** on 08 Mar 2007 16:09

What all FC presales are today? Tampa, Houston, New Orleans...anything else? I think the Dallas postsale was today, but I already used my FC code on whatever I could get for the first show (since none of us knew they'd planned a second show)...

Also Los Angeles Staples Center, as well as the long-awaited Las Vegas MGM Grand Garden Arena date. FC presale begins @ 10am PST. Maybe.

Uuuhhg!!!
very frustrating!!! Why couldn't they ramp up bandwidth for the expected rush???
Hopefully not many are trying to get tickets to the St.Louis show before me. :twisted:

by **DirtyMartiniii** on 08 Mar 2007 16:18

Wow. Five, maybe six or seven, sales today?
That's some seriously bad planning.

by **Laz** on 08 Mar 2007 16:21

...yeah, it might be some sort of server issue over there, but if it is high traffic, I would have staggered some of these presale dates...

They need a Google-style Linux mega-server configuration to run this LMAO

Am I to sit here, trying to hit their site for 2 or 3 hours today?? This is insane.

I know demand is gonna be high, but the least they could have done was staggered the sales, or ramped up the bandwidth.

by **Rooster_Ties** on 08 Mar 2007 16:28

Can anybody confirm that this is the right link to be hitting??

http://www.ThePoliceTour.com/tickets

I'm about 90% sure that's the right page, meaning the page with the [i]actual[/i] link to "get tickets", but I'm no longer 100% sure.

Laz[/quote]

Exactly. They need either better planning or better handling; if they're not going to fork it up for more servers, then you'd think they'd just look at a calendar and replan.

oh, PS -- If I haven't said it enough yet, LUCK, EVERYONE!
