    Just got this

    "Your cart has expired. You must complete your transaction within 10 minutes of beginning your order."

    Thats awesome, couldnt complete the purchase due to the site!

    It's now a matter of luck, if you refresh the second someone else's legitimate cart times out, and happen to click order before 20,000 other people.. you may get a ticket.. what a joke

    I got morning tickets, took 10 mins to get through each page: select tix/ add to cart -> enter in info -> confirmation page.

    I got the confirmation email before the actual page loaded.

    TG has tweeted Sold Out. Wow - how did anyone manage to get through the site?

    Have had 9am and 1pm tickets and clicked add to cart only to have it crash moments later. I'll dust off that "Don't Jump" book now.

    Was able to get afternoon session, and received email confirmation. That was a complete struggle.

    I may have gotten the last one. Basically the same as a lottery.... all luck.
    I got to the Add to Cart many times. Then it would say "Sold Out". Glad people said keep trying.
    When I got to the screen the last time, I saw I had 1 item in my cart and just clicked on that rather than add to cart.
    Anyway, see a few of you at 1pm.
    For Sale Gopher Iowa tickets, pending game time.
    Also, running 10 miles the next morning at 7am.

    And now to break it to my wife... yes 7 hours driving for 2 beers, yes $100, yes I need them....

    Four times selected a ticket, into the cart, go to check out and nada. At least last year I had the consolation of one bottle as a mug clubber, guess that's not even happening this year. Goodbye hour of my life. . .

    I would have much rather been put in a lottery somehow. That was BS.
    Do it just like last year or something. Otherwise, take emails for 30 minutes and do a random selection from them.
