I also got on the phone about 9:30 a.m. — 6:30 a.m. in Oregon where i live — and managed to keep myself in the system for half an hour by asking the automated “Bot” to keep repeating the information it just told me. Right at 10 a.m. (7 a.m.) I said yes to two, three-night ticket packages. Then, the system asked me for my billing information. I entered it but the system told me it was an invalid number. I tried it again with the same result. Mind you, this is a debit card I’ve had for months, used it online and offline with no problems whatsoever. Anyway, I entered the information a third time, and when the system said it was an invalid number it then hung up on me. I had two tickets to each night in my hand and lost them because of an f’ing computer!!!
Come to find out on Monday, my bank put a freeze on my card, saying they thought it was stolen because someone was trying to buy tickets to a concert in another state where my card had never been used. So, the bank denied the transaction, saying they were looking out for my best interests.
Needless to say, Monday afternoon I closed my account and opened a new one at another bank.
They were in my hands!!!!!
Ugh.

Just thought I’d chime in as a ‘Hater’. Don’t be bitter about not getting tix. The scalpers had this scoped out for weeks.

MAYBE tix will be reasonable to get for this summer. Probably not. If it’s a beoch to get lawn seats for a random show in Mass, then you can be bitter.

[Unless you actually live in Hampton, and there isn't a local Phish concert nearby in the ensuing tour. If that's the case, now is a fine time to be bitter.]

Again, I’m just bummed that scalpers have turned this into such a clusterF*.
