SNSD/Girls' Generation Singapore Tour - Sistic Booking

SNSD (소녀시대) or Girls' Generation Singapore Concert ticket sales starts today for OCBC cardholders. Here's the Sistic link. Not a good experience though. Internet sales started at 10am but had blank page loading... the system seemed not able to handle such a load. Hehehe, many many SNSDs supporters in SG? SONEs (소원) unite!

Up till 10.16am, then only managed to get into online booking. But, all tickets are in red! Means "seats unavailable"! Serious? So many managed to book during the first 20 mins? Really? Or maybe they're releasing tickets in batches? Not sure how the online ticketing algorithm is for STIX. But interesting to know though ;)

Anyway, as the page was reloaded a couple of times (before the system kicks the user out periodically), noticed that some of the tickets for different different categories are available for single seats every now and then (depends on luck also!)

So first few tries, don't know what happened but managed to secure Cat 6 tickets (balcony I think, but I was selecting other categories...), so was considering whether to just get this one instead cannot get any. But can't even proceed to next step (though timer says user has remaining 5+ mins to consider) as suddenly, the system kicked me back to selection page. Bummer.

no more seats on first day of priority sale?

Something was not quite right with the system too. Sometimes will see the captcha portion, sometimes don't. If it doesn't appear, most likely will be kicked back to the same page again and again and again till timeout or bandwidth exceeded etc. So be patient and load the page till the captcha appears.

Probably depends on luck too, as the tickets may seem unavailable due to people who are holding them and making decisions. For example if a user managed to secure say the tickets in two different browsers and he/she only intends to purchase say 6 tickets, then it means the total tickets being held up could be 6 x (number of browsers opened when user wanted to try his/her luck). So this will deprive others of having a chance to select their tickets.

So be patient, and no worries because sales to public starts on 1 Nov 2011. Still have chance #2 to watch the girls perform on 9 December in Singapore Indoor Stadium!
