Wow.
I tried to post this at the Rockies.com message board because so many people are hacked off that they think no "real" fans got tickets, only scalpers.Subject: Rockies Ticket Purchase Confirmation

World Series Game 3
27 OCT 2007 at TBA
Coors Field
My wife and I pounded the website (she at work and I at home) yesterday and today. Finally, at about 2:25 today she calls and says "I think I'm in". I told her that I have been reading forums that many people got in but were booted at the shopping cart stage and to not get her hopes up.
She enters in for 4 tix to Sundays game. No success, in any section. Enters 3 for Sunday, again no dice. We want a minimum of 3. So she tries Sat for 4 tix. No luck. Tries Sat. for 3 tix. Get seats in section 308. GREAT! Then, she tries her existing MLB.com login and password and it wouldn't let her in. She tries my login (the one I am using now-so obviously it works), and it also doesn't work. There was only about 30 seconds left before the time ran out so we made the decision to let them go for fear of being booted out of the system. She tried again for seats in that section and got three in section 303. This time we created another account on the spot. Bingo, we were able to get through and got our confirmation #.
So, something was going on with our previously created logins and passwords. Creating a new one allowed us to complete the purchase. The Rockies need to seriously look at ditching this company to do their tickets in the future. Or change to a lottery type system.
I feel for you Rockies fans that didn't get tickets because I thought we were going to be right there with you. Rest assured though that these tickets ended up in Rockies fan's hands (even though we are up in Wyoming-I was born and raised in Longmont) and we will be cheering the team on. I was there at the 1st game at Mile High (about 10 rows up from where E.Y.’s leadoff homer landed), and will be there Sat. night.
Go Rockies!
