In addition to what everybody else has said, I will add one more thing:
They don't go down when there's a big ticket sale. If you've ever used these alternative ticket sites, they will struggle under the load.
The reason it is hard is because there is a flood of people all hammering your site at once, all doing credit card transactions. There's bots. There's people hitting refresh constantly.
They are lame for a lot of reasons, but they don't suck in this department. And I imagine that is important for a lot of people.
- nsteel 3y agoI've sat in that TM queue during a big sale a bunch of times, sometimes you get in, sometimes you just sit there until you realise it's not actually doing anything. I don't think sticking a broken queuing system on the front is any better than going down. It's maybe actually more frustrating because you think it's all working.
