U2 tickets went on sale online at 09:00 today, but the Computicket.co.za message is not very encouraging
The news that U2 is set to rock South Africa in February got many fans excited, and Big Concerts announced that tickets will go on sale at Computicket from 09h00 on Saturday, October 23.
The Saturday date was most likely selected to minimize the amount of people which may use the online service as far less people have access to the Internet at home than at work. Computicket’s site has previously shown to be battling with high loads, but the Saturday start date did not solve the problem.
Numerous U2 fans which tried to access to Computicket site this morning were greeted with the message: “Please try again later or contact our Call Centre on 083 915 8000 (calls charged from R2.85 per minute) or 011 340 8000 or visit any of the Computicket Stores.”
One would assume the Computicket website could not handle to flood of people trying to get their hands on tickets.
Big Concerts’ financial director Justin van Wyk is quoted by Eyewitness news as saying that “in the first 20 – 25 minutes we sold about 25 percent of the inventory.”
