Bills V. Jets ticket procurement: first world problems
Did anyone actually get tickets this morning?
For my part my friends and I were all logged in and ready. Despite our preparation no one I know got tickets.
1st the codes wouldn't work so you couldn't actually get the tickets
2nd once the codes worked it was sold out
3rd the phone number is busy (if you go through lions box office and click 1 for tickets you get sent to the busy line)
I will save my diatribe on ticket distribution for another day. what I am curious about is if anyone got tickets, opinions on the distribution process, and the idea that anyone caught selling the free tickets should be punished.

Same thing happened to everyone I know too. Very frustrating but whatever.

If you follow Detroit Lions on Twitter, they originally tweeted out they were having technical difficulties. Then they tweeted out they fixed the issue.
Both tweets have since been deleted. Huh?

we got two tickets. I had trouble with the codes at first. I then tried another computer with a different browser and eventually got through with two tickets.

I have been retrying and retrying for the last hour or so and I finally got through about 5 minutes ago for 4 tickets. So they aren't sold out, the website is just awful.

got 4, so keep trying. just a third rate ticketing system. didn't they learn anything from Pearl Jam???
November 22nd, 2014 at 11:22 AM ^

November 22nd, 2014 at 11:28 AM ^
I just keep getting "sold out online" message!
November 22nd, 2014 at 11:32 AM ^
I will keep trying. I really want to take my wife and kids. We went in 2010 and it was a great family memory

I either get the 'Communication with your browser was interrupted. Please try your transaction again.' or the Sold out message.
November 22nd, 2014 at 11:33 AM ^
I got them at like 9:50am...I happened to be on the site and it opened early. Got that Communication error once but then it was fine
November 22nd, 2014 at 11:43 AM ^
I got them via that Flash Ticket app thing at around 9:50
November 22nd, 2014 at 11:56 AM ^
I had all of the listed problems, but eventually changed browsers and got 4. See you there
November 22nd, 2014 at 12:01 PM ^
It is officially sold out according to 97.1 The Ticket. Tried posting a link, but can't do it in the app because of a CAPTCHA issue.
November 22nd, 2014 at 12:19 PM ^
They should have charged 5 or 10 dollars per ticket and donated the proceeds to charity.
November 22nd, 2014 at 12:51 PM ^
yeah I had an issue until I switched to IE, then got them
November 22nd, 2014 at 1:22 PM ^
I initially had issues with the capcha not working, but I switched to IE on a different comp and it went through. I got 4 of em around 10:30 this morning.

I got 4 and my buddy got 3 after an hour of 6 people trying, such a mess
