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 · 10-09-2008 9:00am

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 · 10-09-2008 9:03am

: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 · 10-09-2008 9:09am

I'm at 981 :mad:

TheBazman · 10-09-2008 9:09am

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."

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

kazper · 10-09-2008 9:17am

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 · 10-09-2008 9:21am

Ozeire · 10-09-2008 9:21am

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 · 10-09-2008 9:29am

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

You may find yourself jumping the queue

MrsSimba · 10-09-2008 9:31am

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

kazper · 10-09-2008 9:36am

jen_23 · 10-09-2008 9:36am

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 · 10-09-2008 9:38am

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 · 10-09-2008 9:39am

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 · 10-09-2008 9:40am

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

MrsSimba · 10-09-2008 9:44am

Ozeire · 10-09-2008 9:47am

MrsSimba · 10-09-2008 9:54am
