Well I shall be making the attempt to crash their system by trying to register. Hopefully it'll go "smoothly".

It's about to begin.... the storming of the gates so to speak. I have my card and soda ready for a lengthy and frustrating battle with the online registration. Happy Hunting.

Four times now I've managed to get the "registration page"-- and four times it's totally blank. I have no hopes at this rate of getting passes.

I finally get through, try to buy 2 passes, get the over capacity page a few times, then get told that checkout failed because there were NOT ENOUGH OF THE SELECTED tickets available for what I wanted.

SOLD OUT ALREADY?

No Comic-Con for me this year.

Okay-- NOW it let me (after several times of over capacity messages during the entire process) order two passes for Comic-Con. So I guess I'm going after all.

I think ticketleap owes ME $4 for the frustration, rather than my having to pay THEM the $4.

A friend keeps getting the "0" available from them for the 4-day. I hope she keeps trying.

Sheesh... that is nuts. Absolute nuts. Ah well, guess I'll be asking someone nicely to get me some stuff from this year's show then...

I tried for about 3 hrs straight to get tickets. All I was able to get was a 1 day Thursday.

All 4 days sold out. 1 day Sat, sold out. 1 day Friday, sold out!

Uggh!

The only chance is in June, when they start reselling the passes that they issued refunds on. But it's so having to wait last-minute for those.

For those people who got really tired at seeing that green frog:

Not going for the foreseeable future, but what I'm reading sounds far worse than what I went thru just trying to get a hotel room in 2008.
