The fat lady sang…then croaked

That’s it, comic-con registration is once again closed.

At least they apologized right? When we know more we’ll share it here.

Comic-con tickets: A saga *UPDATED* *UPDATED AGAIN*

Once again today, comic-con released some tickets, this time 1000. The process wasn’t too bad, instead of going to the registration site (Epic), which was obviously being crushed under the strain of the original attempts to open up the ticket purchasing process. So seemingly comic-con went with Ticketleap.com, a pretty well known ticket servicer of the likes of ticketmaster or ticketfly. A service that processes and handles ticketing for many different venues and organizations. Generally these sites are built to with hold the strain of 50,000 Beiber fans trying to buy tickets all at the same time. Traffic comes in bursts and swells and they are meant to handle it.

    I find it amazing that they can’t get this right. As I told Micah earlier, we can create nano-machines, but cannot build a server to handle 100,000 people registering at once? Just sad…

    Yeah this is crazy. Huge ticket purchases happen everyday…this may be a bit larger than most but come on.

    I made it to the “submit purchase” screen, which is further than most I believe (and also a testament to how little I had to do this morning), but was afraid of spamming the refresh button fearing I would have 20,000 comicon passes.
