If you were trying to buy Them Crooked Vultures tickets for their Metro show on Sunday night, you undoubtedly saw this page followed by “No Inventory Currently Available.”
Lollapalooza fans from facebook, twitter and Lolla’s message board are irate over the technical difficulties. Here are a few responses to this morning’s disaster:

From their Facebook and message board combined, it appears at least three people got tickets. So what about the other pairs? It’s all a mystery.
UPDATE: So tickets came back up as on sale at about 10:27 a.m. for a minute then again at a little after 10:30 a.m. But still it took customers to the error page.
A call to The Metro’s box office was met with a busy signal. More as this story develops.
UPDATE 2: According to Facebook.com/lollapalooza, a few more people managed to get tickets when they went on sale again around 10:20 a.m. but many still got the error page.
And now Lollapalooza’s official aftershow page lists and the etix.com buying page read SOLD OUT. Thanks for playing!
UPDATE 3: Finally got through to The Metro’s box office. Yup, sold out. They said that tickets were gone in the first three minutes. Still don’t understand then how tickets were available twenty minutes afterwards.

same basic thing happened when bob and david played the lakeshore theater. i was online the second they went on sale but never got passed the error page and eventually i left the page and came back and they were sold out. someone was getting tickets. it’s frustrating, yes, but the other, long-lost option is to go to the venue when tickets go on sale.
These tickets were Internet sales only.
oof. that sucks. yeah, i’d say with all the convenience fees and bullshit that goes on in the internet ticket sales world we should at least expect the system to be able to handle high volume sales. that is total crap
Sounds like the NIN presale disaster. You’d think they would be prepared for the huge amounts of traffic.
