This week I was reading an article called "Series tickets going, going, gone!". It was about the online ticket office that was selling world series tickets shutting down. The site experienced 8.5 million hits in 90 minutes witch turned put to be to much for the Colorado Rockies web site. The site completely crashed. As you can well imagine may Rockies fans were upset. Some people were checking out when it crashed and some could not even get on in the first place. I think that ticket master should have handled the sale because they have done it before and there sever would have been able to handle the down poor. Because of this, many people that were going to get tickets didn't. Personally, I think its funny that people are so mad at something that was really there fault. If that many people weren't on at the same time then none of this would of happened.


What matters is how reliable the site was to start. Did they know how many people would be on at one time? of course not. I think the site should have figured out how to keep the site up and running for this many people. I think for next year regardless of who's in the world series ticket master should handle the sales of tickets to spread the flow of buyers. I almost forgot, Go Rockies!!!!
