TheBazman

ondafly

MrsSimba

Oh no must be down... What do we do??

MrsSimba

Just been on to them it will be live at 9am!!

TheBazman

got this response just now

"Yes too much activity this morning, we are in the process of getting it back up and running now.

In the meantime you can get your tickets from www.rdstickets.com"

Unfortunately when you go to rdstickets.com it says they are sold out!

fatgav

just got mine on rdstickets.com think i was lucky though. what exactly is a 'platinum' ticket? i paid roughly what i expected (100.50 per ticket). just not sure what that is, though i'm presuming exhibition and show

kazper

:eek:i am in a queue for the last twent minutes, started at no. 375 and now i'm at 70. Are there any tickets left, i didnt get sold out!!!

MrsSimba

I'm at 981 :mad:

TheBazman

Thurs sold out
only Platinum available for Friday

Got them over the phone as the website under sever pressure...

"Due to high demand for tickets you have been placed in a queue.

You are currently at position 1782 in the queue.

The estimated queueing time is 2 hours and 5 minutes."

Ozeire

Guys the 2 sites are up.

You might get a SQL Error when you try to book your ticket but i found if i click Refresh on the browser the ticket had been booked and i could finish buying it




Don't try going back to the start and booking again as you may end up with a few tickets booked .

Have my 2 for Sat WAHOO

Guys to tell you the truth the Thur Show mightn't be the best. As the place ones at 5:30 pm and the show is at 7 - 7:30. You only get a while in at the exhibition before you have to go into the show. Then you can't get back after it.

Plus being at a recording of a TV show isn't always its cracked up to be.

Might be better value on Fri, Sat, Sun


Al

kazper

I got to the front of the queue but then when i tried to book any tickets i got the sql server problem, tried refreshing but no luck

jamieh

I'm at 586. Where's everyone else?

Ozeire

Kazper

Click refresh and you should have the ticket . Dont go back as you may end up booking more tickets as i did

jen_23

Woohoo!! Got tickets for sat night!!! Yeah!! websites working if anyone was having problems first thing like me:)

Have ye all been put in a q?? I wasn't in any It only took 2 mins after the website was back??

kazper

Thanks Ozeire, I tried refresh and at first it just bought up error, now it has me back in queue at no. 2768, not a happy bunny, having no luck getting through on phone either

Sundy

If your in the queue open new tabs/windows and go to the site.

You may find yourself jumping the queue

MrsSimba

I'm 605 but I have four windows open for the differant nights!! the highest is 750

kazper

i just opened a new page and started again, got my tickets for sunday afternoon show :D

jen_23

Guys I wasn't put in a q at all??? I tried again just to make sure and still wasn't put in any q???
I have my tickets paid and everything..

Are ye using this link https://tickets.rds.ie

Ozeire

Sorry kazper

The refresh worked for me . You couldn't do much more anyway with a SQL Error its to do with their online database. And the amount of traffic using it .

Yeah used https://tickets.rds.ie and got the tickets after a few mins

Drift

Just keep opening windows lads. I had 3 computers all at various places in the queue and then I opened it up on the mac and got in straight away - no queueing at all. I have no idea what they're up to. Needed 5 tickets so I got 4 on the phone and 1 on the net.

kazper

not to worry ozeire, i got my tickets in the end, thanks for your help

MrsSimba

I just tried a new window its not working for me I am going mad here:mad:

Hey Fendigal,

If you try to book another two tickets it should come up in your basket if the other two have not been bought yet.
Also if the transaction went through you would have gotton an email confirmation.

fendigal

If anybody gets thru let us know wat story is..has our cards been debited?
They def should let ticketmaster look after this...i mean wat did they expect its one of d most popular tv shows in d world!

Ozeire

Guys is it best to have tickets posted or collect at box office..wat did ye guys choose?

Getting them posted.

I don't really want to que again on the day to get my tickets.

personaltrainer

18 mins on hold and still waiting...

maithancailin

with all the windows and tabs ye have open you are probably limiting other people from getting tickets, stop jamming the system, ye are driving me nuts, been online since 9am and am still in a Q to get tickets!

jen_23

7.30pm show sat night is sold out.

fendigal

Any luck personal trainer? i still getting busy tone..

demon83
