Colorado Rockies World Series tickets went on sale online at 10am MST today and my boy Racho was lucky enough to score 4 club level seats. Right before he was about to get his confirmation, the whole system crashed. The picture above is his screen shot.
Racho is a just a tad bit little bitter(furious actually) and the Rockies ticket office is not answering calls right now. My buddy is pretty much screwed and it looks like he is not the only one frustrated.
It turns out only a few hundred tickets were sold so far and they are going to announce a new ticket distribution plan later this afternoon.
ROCKIES HQ DENVER – Amid an angry crowd chanting ‘We want tickets,’ Rockies spokesperson Jay Alves announced World Series ticket sales have been suspended Monday.
Alves says virtually all the tickets are still available, due to a computer system malfunction. He says only several hundred tickets were sold.
‘Right now we’re shutting the system down …. We expect to be online at some point,’ Alves said.
According to Alves, the Colorado Rockies will announce new plans to sell the tickets at some point later Monday afternoon. He says the Web site received 8.5 million hits in the first 90 minutes the system was up and running.
Fans booed as Alves made the announcement outside Coors Field.
‘We’re as frustrated and disappointed as they are,’ Alves said of the fans.
Alves say they will not be selling the tickets at Coors Field. He says their goal is to get the computer system up and running again so that they can resume online sales.
