Got a ticket reserved, but then Google Wallet was failing to load my credit card data. After 4:30 of waiting, it finally kicked in and I kicked off a purchase, only to have the timer run out before it finished. So now I've got a pending $900 charge on my Google Wallet account. Guess I get to see if that actually goes through and I get a ticket. Edit: Google has cancelled the $900 charge and I now do not have a ticket. Cool. /s

  Closing out and re-opening that modal a few times eventually got it to work.

    I tried that but it ended up getting cancelled

    I had to try the wallet modal 4 times before it worked for me. Left me with under a minute remaining..

In fact I have two pending $900 charges on my Google Wallet account.

  As do I... And no verification of registration yet. This is an absolute mess.

Same here -- my payment window timed out, I was told to try again, and now I have two charges on my account with no verification of registration. Something is off with Google Wallet.

Got in, pressed purchase, got the modal, pressed the pay button, "Your purchase will complete momentarily ...", sat for a while, closed modal, started over x2, tried waiting for 3 minutes, timed out, no pending charges. How annoying.

  yup....Google still hasn't mastered e-commerce.

    The same problem plagues the ticket sites when music festival tickets go on sale (TicketMaster, Gigs and Tours, etc.) and also the London Olympics site. No one seems to get it right.

  i waited, and finally got a "try again, the payment timer timed out" .. so frustrating

  Same. I suppose this is the lottery everyone is asking for?
