It's 12 minutes into ticket sales and despite my best attempts to try multiple tabs and windows I can't seem to crack the systems. (More in the comments)
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT PATRONS ARE SELECTED FROM THIS VIRTUAL WAITING ROOM ON A RANDOM BASIS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE TICKETS.
So let me figure out my chances. If we assume that the sites security is relatively good (meaning they won't let bots in) then we might have a fighting chance.
With that given, then basically it's me against RSN. So how many idiots, like me are stuck hanging out in the virtual waiting room?
My gut initially tells a couple million. But when I start to think about that number it seems way too high. Yes, there are something like 8-10 Million people in Massachusetts alone, but only a fraction of people have internet access. Now this is where I get stuck. How many people have internet access? My gut tells me it's like 30% at the highest.
Still I wish they had magazines. Even those crappy Redbook magazines that you see in Doctor's office. Hell I'd even go for the Pregnancy magazine we used to have at the Women's Health clinic I worked at in Providence.
I feel for you...I just walked by the waiting room and looked in at everyone...very sad...a lot of loneliness even though there are millions in there...

Oh please... please pick me!
ReplyDeleteI wish there was some way that the could show you how many people have been picked already.
That way you would have some since of progress.
Now I am just sitting here, afraid to get up from my computer for more than 30 seconds.
