No, I didn't get any tickets. I left the web page to refresh it self for
24 hours :) and then just closed the browser.

But my computer skills earned me 2 tickets to 12 row behind the first
base on next Tuesday :) (fixed computer to some guy)

SWEET!

Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat!

Nicely done!

I got as far as choosing the number of tickets and then the page where
you have to type two verification words, with the message it must be
completed within 3 minutes. Entered the words well within the 3
minutes but it kicked me back to the virtual waiting room. Why let
someone go that far if they're just going to kick them back?
Occasionally made it back to the page with the number of tickets but
there was always an "error" message. Gave up around 10:30. Was doing
other things while waiting.

Perhaps they outsourced the web development to India.

If scalpers got any of the tickets, I hope they are unable to make a
profit, meaning they're unable to sell the tickets at all because
they're free. Ideally all the people fortunate enough to get the tix
were real fans, not resellers.
