"We are currently over capacity." You don't say.
Am participating in SDCC's Web Page Reload-a-thon for tickets. I did know enough not to worry about starting right at 9:00am PST, and fortunately I can multitask during this. Watching Twitter posts, some people are getting through part of the reg process and then the next time they need to load a page, get the "over capacity" message. I wonder which will happen first, the site shuts down or so many people get discouraged and give up so traffic goes down and the page will load for me. Place your bets...
ETA: @Comic_Con: "We’re obviously not happy with this morning’s events. We are trying to find answers and get to the bottom of this." Even with this message, I'm finding it more difficult to not just click "reload" every second for a minute straight."
ETA2: I have been taunted by the purchase page, where now you can buy only one ticket at a time, and then thwarted by "over capacity". Am now doing the Reload-Resend keyboard dance.
ETA3: Second view of purchase page, no 4-day passes available, still can't check out. Now hoping for day passes.
ETA4: Alleged RT from @TicketLeap: "There are plenty of #sdcc 4 day passes available. They get held for 15 min and return to inventory if not purchased. Keep trying." Yeah, that helps if/when I end up buying day passes because the form won't let me buy anything else.
ETA5: Aaand that's what will probably happen. Have resorted to using two computers. Entered billing info for page buying day passes and got the busy signal again. More reloading in my future.
ETA6: Four-day passes inaccessible again.
ETA7: GOT DAY PASSES FOR TWO DAYS. Am questioning the wisdom of trying to get an additional day.
ETA8: Am lucky and weak and got another day. Over two hours after starting this, will now go eat something and try not to choke on frustration.
ETA9: @Comic_Con: "Badges are being processed at an extremely slow rate and, while you may receive a sold out message, many badge types are still available." OH, GOOD TO KNOW, SDCC. THAT HELPS.
