Unfortunately for the Colorado Rockies, the answer is a resounding NO!
Nothing but trouble all day long with the sale of World Series tickets. 8.5 million hits on the web site that was supposed to facilitate the sale of the high-priced, high-prized tickets. That's 4 times the number of people in the whole damn state! Only 500 out of 60,000 tickets were sold successfully.
So what gives?
My guess is that it was scalpers .. oh - I'm sorry - "Ticket Brokers"
You know - the scumbags that keep us working schmucks from picking up tickets for events at a fair price. The assholes use software to flood ticket web sites so that they can essentially "bump" their way into the line. Then they basically double and triple (legally?) the prices of the tickets. Hmmm.. they can do this legally but I can't sell a ticket for any more than face value? Can you say "racketeering"?
Ticketmaster was the first legal ticket racket. Unfortunately it has spread.
The Rockies should have just stuck to the lottery system for this - there were no compelling reasons to try to do this through the internet.
