Makes sense elonepb..it's really criminal though..IMO. It's false advertising for one..I mean..they shouldn't have fake going on sale times. Sorry, but I am not going to pay 500 a ticket when they advertise 150..something really shady..I mean do the math on this. Someone is cashing in on this.

Or someone at ticketmaster used your code for 3!
and your number could only get 1 more

I'm sure it wasn't fake, they probably had some (very little) inventory for sale. But now you are up against professionals who do this for a living that can get into the inventory within a split second of it going live, while you are waiting for the page to refresh and read what the hell the captcha says.

If these people have like 30 machines going all at once and are hooked up with some illegal program it's over before it began.

Yup, sure is. I usually don't have a problem getting tickets to things when they go on sale like this, but this is one of those scenarios where there probably wasn't much left at all. Full disclaimer, I'm a Giants fan and I like reading boards of other teams to get a better perspective on the opponents players and team. Was hoping to grab a ticket to come enjoy a Sunday with you fine people. Doubtful that happens!

Some people with computer knowledge use their trade for good, others, greed and "gain"... people are willing to go down really shady paths to make money. Quite frankly..these people are willing to steal from the public. What is that saying? "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.."..so true, so true.
Lol..so I may not even bother with the 1pm deal..why bother? It's a joke..too bad the people behind programs won't face any consequences.
