aaand the server is already starting to crash. Didn’t you guys learn from last year?
yeah, it’s frozen
ugh. the fucking server’s are slow!!!!!!!
Been stuck on the spinning wheel of doom for 8 minutes. Still can’t get through.
this is the part where Anthony realizes that the ticket server shouldn’t be run on a 1999 iMac.
Took forever but i finally just finished putting in my billing info.
I’m going to make a porn next year in the time it takes to order tickets.
try adding inventory to the shoppng cart and the damn thing chokes
Has anybody successfully bought tickets yet?? No luck here.
looks like the page timed out when I went to submit my payment… but I received an email confirmation of purchase so I’ll take that as a yes.
I haven’t been able to even select tickets yet.
Of course I have a women that wants to go with me that I have been chasing since high school, so I already know I am not going to get the tickets I need.
I’m still on the “add tickets” spinning wheel of doom, and have been for 15 minutes.
There are these things called servers…. they help websites “serve” their audience. You should get some for stranger tickets…
@10 The same thing just happened to me. I’m really glad that it worked, since last year I spent 5 hours trying to get tickets.
“add to cart” and nothing happens. I can do this many times though.
Stuck on “add to cart”, no way to view cart. Will probably have 16 tickets in the cart when it finally appears. sigh.
Well, fuck. I am gonna roll a joint if I just have to stare at this, might as well make it fun while I wait.
@17 – I must have clicked on that “add to cart” button 50 times before it finally worked. Don’t give up!
geezus christ Stranger! you knew there would be a large volume of people purchasing these tickets this morning. Get your shit together!
Just got my confirmation email. Huzzah!
I finally made it through, even the the page timed out I did get a confirmation email. Ugh, so painful every year.
fuck, i take a weekend trip to sf from seattle and i fucking wake up early to fucking buy tickets on a site who’s shopping cart is fucking overloaded. fml….
You know that all of us commenting here are going to get screwed on these tickets.
Should I keep waiting if I have the spinning wheel? It has been 26 minutes!
If only we lived in a city where people knew how to make websites and scalable. If only there were only people who knew how to build site where hundreds — even thousands of people could visit at once.
Alas, we only live in Seattle home of Strangertickets.com
I watched the wheels spin for almost 25 before everything clicked. Tickets are now printed and ready for humping.
This is what it feels like trying to buy hump tickets http://animalsbeingdicks.com/page/5
Alright. Tickets Bought. Same thing happened to me as 10 and 15.
Couldn’t get the confirmation page to show up after payment info, but I got an email confirmation so I think it worked for me!
worked finally, the final check out screen didn’t load but i did get a confirmation email. Had them mailed cause I don’t want humpy things printing around the office.
fuck. this reminds me of this year’s fiasco with cascade bike club’s servers opening for the stp/rsvp orders
It is way too early in the morning to stare at a tiny spinny thing for me. If there were multiple days I could go, I wouldn’t care so much, but I really can only make it to the QA showings, so I’m a little worried…@26, shut your mouth! You’ll jinx us all!
After 30 min on the computer I tried the iPhone while waiting for the “spinny wheel of doom”. It worked perfectly! No waiting what-so-ever. Try your smartphones!
I just bought two with absolutely no problems.
uhhh, i meant @25, of course
Thank you @35! Totally worked. I still have the spinning will on my computer and is has been 49 minutes. Ordering on my iPhone worked like a charm.
OK iPhone got me in to the checkout window!
confirm email in my inbox. @37 I almost want to buy more just to make sure you get yours.
Hooray for iphones!
@35 you are my savior!!!!!
See you sluts on thursday!
Thanks so much for the iPhone tip! I had over an hour of spinny wheel of doom.
Hey Stranger Staff – if you can’t afford a decent server set up at least have a physical point of sale for these tickets. Jesus.
Hey, thanks for your patience everybody! We have lots of servers, I swear! LOTS! And they’re fancy! The demand for these tickets is several orders of magnitude more than you may realize, so things inevitably do get a little slow, but our monitoring has shown tons and tons of successful orders, nothing even close to the situation we had last year (sorry!), and after a minute or two of tuning at the very start, things have been humming along. Sorry if your order was one of the stuck ones, please try again, and don’t forget to check your email. If you got a receipt, you got your tickets.
Thanks!
Dearest Olive,
It has been twenty days since I went to buy tickets for HUMP, and there seems to be no end in sight. We’re running drastically low on supplies. We only have enough fresh water for another day, and we finished the last of the pie days ago. If I should never see you again I hope that you find this letter and will know my last thoughts were of you.
Love,
MacCrocodile
Persistence is key.
Worked great for me, no wait or wheels at all.
@46 Donner, party of 2
jesus christ, 49 comments and every single one was about the wait to buy tickets. keep beating that dead horse, guys.
@50 – And to round out an even fifty, a complaint about the lack of variety in the comments. Way to bring some life to this party.
classy….
