I shouldn't be complaining as my crew and I were fortunate enough to score 10 tickets out of the 12 we were hoping for ... but ... the hell we went through to get them was enough to make me blow a gasket. Had THREE different transactions fail on me during the processing period AFTER I had selected and clicked purchase button. 12 lost pavilion seats thanks to TM's inferior system. It's not like I was on a dial up .... i teach at a major university and between friends and I we had 9 machines fires up in our lab on ethernet bandwidth. Grrrr... Lawn is better than none.

In regards to heading to Ebay ... NO WAY! ..... the more tix the scalpers get stuck with the better I say. B*ST*RDS! People stop buying tix from them, they'll stop jacking the prices. Just my opinion.

See a lot of you in Cinci!
You may want to check your available balance on your credit card. This happened to me once,but a couple days later they appeared on my credit card statement and I got all the tickets I had tried to ordered and thought failed. If you should be so lucky might you be willing to sell 2 of your extras to a fellow PH?
Plenty of available space on my credit card. No worries there. BUT, yes, if by the grace of the tiki gods, the tix show up anyway, I will surely sell to a BN'r . I'm no scalper, face + fees is all I'd ever charge.

FINS UP!
I may be off base here as I can't read nic's mind. But, I think what he's trying to tell you has nothing to do with your credit limit. I think he's trying to tell you to check your balance on your credit card to see if you were charged for the tickets that you don't think went through.

I haven't personally had this happen, but last year, there were all kinds of stories about people getting error messages and the transaction actually going through.

Yes, I wasn't clear enough...that was exactly what I meant...good call!
Ahhh, I see what you mean. I just checked that angle and no luck there either. Just plain and simple TM inferiority once again. Thanx for the moments of hope though. I'll still be in Cincy, just not sitting as close as I wanted.
