The Half-Acre thread (2018)

I'd still take this over a random lottery any day of the week ... persistence!!!

 

Apparently still not sold out?

 

It's not sold out, that's the trick. I think the site's "Sold Out" message is really just "Not Available" - those tickets are in other's carts. Once it's sold out, you won't be able to select it anymore from the page where you get a dropdown to choose 1 ticket.

 

Just got one at 11:28 - don't give up hope!

 

I just tried for the first time at 11:29am and got one.

 

Still going... keep getting dumped into the queue.

 

Today I've realized I will waste a lot of time inside to not waste a lot of time outside.

 

Can you close your other 30 browser windows so we can get one?

 

That's a no brainer at this time of year.

 

LOL. It took me a few minutes, but I did eventually do that!

 

Damn more and more people joining the queue, it was down to about 30-40 people. Now back up to 140. Stop tweeting Half-Acre!

edit: back up over 380 now

 

I wish the physical lines ran this way. You get to the front, they tell you that you are 10th in line. Then all of a sudden they say they are sold out and so you have to go line-up at the back all over again even though you see them telling people behind you in line they are available....

 

Sorry sir, please go to the back of the line and hope one of these guys has his credit card denied right as you walk up to the front again.

Please note that we give these guys 15 minutes to text all of their friends "Hey man need a ticket?" before kicking him out.

 

surely it's sold out by now. even with every single person having to redo their order

 

This is absolutely the dumbest. There are thousands of people trying, but they can't sell 300 in 40 minutes??? Ridiculous. I've been trying for the past 40 mins. How are people still pulling tix??

 

Has to be. There's still 300+ people queueing up, though.

 

Someone on FB said they got thru. But never got a confirmation email then they checked their bank and had gotten refunded...I think I'd be pissed.

 

wow, that would rustle my jims tremendously

 

How lame is this, it brought me to the checkout page to enter CC info. But when you hit "Checkout" it says "sold out".

This site doesn't have cart protection?

 

"They laughed when I told them I was starting an online ticketing company using dial-up internet...."
