Thoughts & Experiences from the Mile High City
Well according to a press conference the Rockies just had, the World Series tickets are selling, just slowly.
It would be interesting to hear of people who are actually getting tickets, because I am not seeing anyone who has actually got tickets say they have tickets.
Well, I will keep checking and let me know what you are experiencing during this mad and slow dash to find World Series Tickets.
Well round 2 is underway and it is not going much better. In looking at comments on the Denver Post website, people are unable to get through. Those that do get through, kicked when they are trying to purchase tickets.
It is a system that is totally inept and failing. The people that are to blame for this is Major League Baseball. They are the ones who took this sale over from the Rockies and are using a system that does not work.
Heads should roll at MLB and Paciolan Inc.
I was in favor of trying to do online only for tickets. Now I am thinking that this should have been done in a different matter. I keep getting the endless countdown loop and every so often it freezes. It is worthless for me to keep trying and I am not holding out hope that I will get tickets.
9NEWS – Rockies: Attack caused system outage
A malicious cyber attack is what caused the server outage today when I was trying to purchase World Series Tickets. It was a crazy day trying to get those.
After all the frustrations I had today and getting all the facts, I still think that selling them online today is the way to go. I think that MLB and the company that runs the ticket sells, Paciolan Inc., needs to be prepared for another attack.
Otherwise, I think that there will be a lot more frustration and less forgiveness the second time around.
Well the server has stopped responding and I am unable to get in and try and get World Series Tickets. Major League Baseball and the Colorado Rockies have sure screwed this one up.
Despite assurances that they wouldn’t have any problems, they are having major problems and the servers have crashed. Not Good!
