[admmgz]

ok..no takers on texting? If I'm not able to get it, I guess it's not meant to be. Nite-nite! Gotta be up at 4 am

I'm not sure but from what I know about computers it's probably they have a server tracker so once you order the site will crash and be extremely slow and/or not load.

Typically this is used for heavy ticket onsales. You may have experienced similar on Ticketmaster when it says you have 2-3 minutes wait until you can buy a ticket. You don't take a number nor do you know what place in line you are OR if what you want is still available, you just know how long you have to wait. The computer refreshes for you, all you do it sit.
(also similar to waiting in an online queue for a live chat with a CS!)

They do virtual waiting rooms for Comic Con tickets. You basically log into the site and from this point I'm speculating, but once you click on the RiRi link, if there's a wait there will be a countdown letting you know how long before you are free to order, or you get a sold out message. I know that all too well trying to buy Comic Con tickets.

For the next Viva Glam, what about Adele? Bold and classy

Canadian site is acting weird as well. Fingers crossed.

 

[nudibelle]

I think it's exactly like that. Experience it every year with Toronto Film Fest tickets. It's a real pain and rarely works properly. I'm prepared though!

I really don't like the way MAC is handling this, what up with us the PRO members, that's why we pay money to have access to collection before everyone else. :blink:

Um lol that's weird I thought it was just paying money to be able to stock your kit as an artist and take classes.... Pro membership is not a VIP pass (IMO)

 

[miss0annette]

Team Orange Soda!! I love it too.

 

[JJJewels]

Canadian site keeps bumping me over to the US site... I think the Rihanna Army Navy whatever is busting up our site, girls!

That's cool! I'd like to see that play out. I wonder will Mac start doing this permanently

There's no way in hell I'm ending up in that "waiting room"! Being a hard core stalker is the key lol

 

[Beautybuyer]

I will use multiple sources lol

I'm a PRO member but I definitely don't feel entitled. I appreciate it, greatly, but it doesn't mean I can't pay full price for things or wait around just like everyone else.
