Technical Issues Stink

[BK From WV]

I went online this morning to order Wrestlemania Axxess tickets since the presale started today. I logged on with every intent to get my friend and I VIP passes for the Sunday afternoon of 'Mania. That way we would already be at the Meadowlands Sports Complex and could just head to MetLife Stadium after. I was quite happy when I found out the VIP guests that day were Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. Since HBK is my all time favorite wrestler,I went to order the tickets. I enter all the stuff and then a screen pops up telling me that my tickets can't be processed due to an error. I try 3 or 4 more times to order with no success. I assume that maybe they sold out that quickly so I just went ahead and ordered general admission tickets. Well,one of my other friends sends me a message saying that due to technical issues,the VIP tickets won't go on sale until tomorrow. Had I known this before,I would have waited but I had already ordered general admission. I'm fine with the GA tickets but it's still disappointing. So if anyone is wanting VIP tickets,they go on sale tomorrow.

WWE really needs to figure out how to do a pre-sale successfully, because this is the second year in a row they've had an issue with it.

I'm off on Monday and Tuesday, so I was elated that the pre-sale was yesterday. I had the code from WWE's Facebook page and the pages for the sessions that I wanted to attend bookmarked.

So as 10:00 neared I started refreshing the page so that the order screen would be ready. Ten o'clock rolled around and the page changed to the order screen. The first thing I noticed was that there was no space for a password by the VIP tickets, only the General Admission tickets. I thought, "huh, that's weird." I selected one VIP ticket, got past the security check screen, and hit "Find Tickets."

*a minute later*

"Sorry, no tickets available."

SERIOUSLY?! IT'S 10:02!!!

I checked out WWE's Facebook page and apparently no one was able to get VIP tickets! I remember how last year, the pages were so flooded that Ticketmaster shut them down for awhile, then put them back up that afternoon. I kept checking back, still nothing. At one point, every order page listed Ric Flair and CM Punk. Later in the day, the order pages changed to included a password box for VIP tickets. Gee, thanks Ticketmaster/WWE. Should've done that at 10:00.

I plan to try again at 10 today and, if that doesn't work, at 10 on Saturday when tickets "officially" go on sale. Last year, I was able to get VIP tickets for Shawn Michaels and Sheamus despite getting shut out during the pre-sale. If I have to settle for GA tickets, that's fine. But I'd love to do that Raw backstage tour.

do GA tickets sell out? if so, why not buy VIP and sell the others on Stubhub?

Alright so this thread has been around how long and we still don't have a Michael Cole/Hornswoggle picture?

WWE WRESTLEMANIA AXXESS - PROBLEMS AGAIN!
By Mike Johnson on 2013-01-23 11:19:11 This morning's attempted Wrestlemania AXXESS pre-sale was a complete bust once again as we are told VIP ticket sales were not working. Attempts to order the VIP tickets either timed out or were met with a message that they were sold out.
That, however, is not the case. We have heard from several readers that contacted the IZOD Center, where the event is taking place and were told that as of now, VIP Tickets for AXXESS will be held and won't go on sale until this Saturday at 10 AM Eastern, when tickets go on sale to the general public.

Obviously, someone needs to apologize because there are, without exaggeration, thousands of annoyed fans right now.

AXXESS UPDATE
By Mike Johnson on 2013-01-23 12:18:34 WWE's Wrestlemania Twitter is claiming that VIP pre-sale Tickets to AXXESS did indeed go on sale this morning and were sold out. The remaining tickets will go on sale this Saturday morning.
We've received several emails from readers claiming they had the same issues ordering tickets and when they called the IZOD Center, they were advised it was a Ticketmaster issue. After receiving the emails, I called the IZOD Center box office and was told they had received a number of complaints about ticketing, but everything was handled by Ticketmaster and the venue was not involved.

However, it may be that the issue could have been with those ordering tickets. The Wrestlemania Twitter account advised those with issues to make sure they cleared their Internet cache files before ordering, so it may be some were finding the same issues because they were loading the existing cache file of the Ticketmaster page.

So, that's the latest.

I did consider that but with CM Dazz's post above me here,I don't know what's going on. I'll probably just keep my GA tickets and avoid any further confusion.
