ABR 2014

The Bell's rep told us no more BA9K

Edit: So watch them have it anyway...

 

clusterfuck for anyone else?

 

Got through in under a minute here.

 

Refreshed the page right at noon, and was able to get in no problem. I remember last year it went down for awhile but then people were still able to get tickets like 20 minutes later, so keep trying if it hasn't worked for you yet

 

In and out in less than a minute (that's what she said)

I sincerely hope they get the lines figured out this year. Got there last year about 30 minutes before the start and didn't get inside until an hour after it opened. Missed all the good Bell's stuff... Piss-poor planning.

 

got em, in the end. got timed out twice, which was odd.

 

Got mine at 7 after

 

I think I got tickets. I entered my CC info and hit submit. It said I was over time and to try again, but they billed my bank account so I think Im ok.

Also, No BA9K is the end of an era...sad. Its always a great time anyways. Always some big guns at ABR even if the howitzer that is 9k is gone

 

I had a whole group trying to get ten tickets, which is thankful since I only got one (and needed two). I originally managed to get in for five, but the server crashed when I tried paying. Doh. Some are still on hold pending purchase, so there's still a chance if you keep refreshing for a bit.

 

Blank page at first then was able to get in with about a 2 minute wait.

To any of the ABR organizers reading this: Set up the entry to ABR exactly like they did for APN last week. Beautiful and smooth!

 

Picked up two tickets for me and my lady. Now time to find a sober cab

 

Wow well wrong day to be away from the computer for a bit. Oy vey.

 

They are the same group...Hope they figure out how to do the lines better this year

 

Got my 2 tickets. See y'all there.

 

Even with a single entrance/line, there is an easy solution. Allow people to enter the even 30-60 minutes before it starts so people can start sampling right at 1:00 rather than waiting in line until 2:00.

 

Tickets locked down - Looks like a mini BA convention...

 

I did email to give them kudos about the APN line and request something similar for ABR. I don't know that they plan to do it quite like that, but they are exploring some options for making it better, so I'm hopeful.

 

Ugh I hate how people are allowed to bulk buy for these things and freeze out everyone else. They really ought to cap it out at 2 per person. That way they might not sell out within an hour of tickets going on sale.
