I'm trying to get tickets now but getting nothing but "Server too busy" screens or a countdown screen. :banghead:

Yeah, I had similar issues trying to get tickets. Anybody snag some?

Post #4 » by **MHZ** » Mon Oct 22, 2007 6:23 pm

Apparently the server crashed and they haven't yet sold out.

Hmmm, I wonder how this is going to go.

This is **** ridiculous. Sounds like just a few people were able to get through and only a couple hundred tickets were sold. Supposedly there were over 8.5 million hits in around an hour.

They're suspending the 'system' now, to try to fix the problem. Who knows how long it'll be til it gets back up.

I figured they didn't sell many, cbs4 had hear from about 3 people that got tickets. What a F'in debacle this has become. They should have let the fans line up and get tickets the old fashion way. At least we all still have a shot at some tickets though...

:pray:

This is pathetic, the rockies front office is a joke. This was their chance, finally an opportunity to bring the fanbase back, and this is what they pull. Way to be loyal to the few fans that stuck by you all these years while you made this team the laughing stock of the state. I'm so sick of the Monforts only caring about their money.

F*ck You

Alright, we're closing in on Try #2 at WS tickes.

Different day, same result...I'll just watch it on FOX HD. Go Rockies but F your front office, i'm sure the next thing they'll screw up is not resigning any of the young talent.

:banghead:

I can't watch anymore. It's like watching a Broncos-Colts or Nuggets-Spurs playoff game

:banghead:

Rockies suck as much as the Nuggets

Let's not be as quick to jump off the bandwagon as we were to jump on.

Pitiful performance, no question. Tomorrow's a good test of the team's heart. Very disappointing.

Powder Blue · Post #16 » by **Powder Blue** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 3:01 pm

I'm still sittin on the bandwagon but I had to turn it off during the 5th inning, they were hitting every pitch thrown. Hopefully we can pitch better today and starting swinging the bat.

Post #17 » by **MHZ** » Fri Oct 26, 2007 3:09 pm

Wow, the Rockies' bats have been absolutely miserable. Can't blame pitching for this one.

Denver stadium fans have to be the worst in ALL major sports.

What a great run your team had. Congrats to a great season.

Post #20 » by **MHZ** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 5:59 pm

Let's face it, the Red Sox were the better team. That was pretty apparent. That takes nothing away from the fact that the Rockies exceeded everybody's expectations this season, and will actually prove to be something exciting (hopefully) for years to come.

Now, let's hope the ownership doesn't blow it.
