A Bad Day in Denver for Many - Rockies Tickets Were Hard to Come By…
No tickets for me.
I’m in Maryland, but I really feel for anyone in Colorado or who is a die-hard Rockies fan who could not get lucky.
World Series tickets for all three games at Coors Field sold out in less than three hours today.
The Rockies announced about 2:45 that all 54,000 tickets were gone.Some lucky fans emerged with tickets after a slow start at noon today, but most people walked away from their computers frustrated and empty-handed.
“We know many people will be disappointed, and we do feel for them,” spokesman Jay Alves said in a news conference.
The Rockies blame an “external and malicious” attack for Monday’s ticket sales crash. The club said its Web site dealt with more than 8.5 million hits in 90 minutes, and only 500 tickets were sold.
Denver police and FBI officials said today they have received no complaint or request for investigation regarding the alleged cyber hacking.
“No formal complaint has been filed,” said Denver FBI Special Agent Rene Vonder Haar, adding that her agency had yet to receive any information regarding a cyber-attack.
The sale today was slow. But the tickets, which went on sale at noon, finally sold out before 3 p.m.
Anyone who was crazy like me and tried, let me know. If you were successful congrats!
