problem accessing ticketmaster on a mac

jothee

can a mac user please do me a favour and go to www.ticketmaster.ie, pick a concert and click on "find tickets" and tell me if it works for them.

everytime i click on "find tickets" or "more info" safari says it can't access the site. every concert is the same. i've tried every other browser: firefox, omniweb, camino, internet explorer. same problem on each. but when i tried using virtual pc it worked perfectly. i've always had this problem

is this just a problem with mac browsers or are my settings screwed up.

any ideas??

I found Kylie tickets "You have 5 minutes to complete your transaction" page after "find tickets" link.

Using Firefox 0.9.3
IE 5.2

it works perfectly in Safari on Panther (10.3.7).

thanks guys. must be something wrong with my set up. maybe its my firewall. i'll check it out.

jothee

yep it was my firewall. strange it only effected ticketmaster. fixing it now.

its hard to know, so many websites have problems with safari or just macs in general.

Used to get loads of problems with Safari and IE (hell safari even timed out forcing me to download the latest one every once in a while), Firefox never sees a problem with me.

The only website I ever have a problem with is gmail. I find I have to refresh before I actually get into my account. Other than that - no problems at all.

Isnt it amazing that macs are so intelligent they even know that ticketmaster are rip-off merchants, and doesnt want to have anything to do with it!!

the ticketmaster website is operated by a squirrel running on a wheel.
It wouldnt surprise me if noone could access it

Yeah, they used have a gerbil, but in a cost cutting measure, they downgraded to a squirrel!
