So what will the page on Gofobo look like if it ever loads? Are all screening locations on the page? Just gonna enter a command+F search term now and have it ready...

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I would kill for eventgrid. huh.. didn't see that coming. thanks GOFOBO

 

[Resident_UA]

Eventgrid probably charged more, they opted for the cheaper option.

Sure, but it would be good for Gofobo to handle something big relatively well at least once. I didn't even hear of that website before

 

[Quintin DM]

I mean ya last year wasn't great either but this is fucking ridiculous.

 

[v1lla21]

Ughughughugh good going neeeerds!

 

[Lnkn52]

 

[chicagocubsfan]

This is always a pain in the ass

 

[NESpowerhouse]

So is it over? Did we lose?

 

[Dynomutt]

Who would have thought there'd be a site worse than Event Grid?

Eventgrid was super smooth!

 

[TetraGenesis]

God damn it, the site is just refreshing blank on mobile. Anyone have a San Diego link?

No one has any link, hahahaha. We unintentionally DDoS'd Gofobo.

 

[geomon]

Somewhere in the world, theres a server room literally on fire and some IT intern shitting his pants in a corner

 

[NESpowerhouse]

How did they sell out if the site is down?

 

[MrBambinoDent]

Gofobo probably never got that much traffic in its entire pathetic life!

 

[TetraGenesis]

So I guess I'll just be refreshing this site the whole rest of my work day. No way I can leave for lunch now...

 

[AlexFlame116]

There is always that one guy who manages to get through.

 

[NoKisum]

Welp, you get what you paid for.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

I don't know why they didn't just go with EventGrid again - gofobo has the audacity to demand we turn off adblockers, but can't handle a little traffic.

Eventgrid died last year too

 

[Exist2Inspire02]

I somehow lucked out and managed to get a ticket for the Winnipeg showing. When I claimed my passes the page ended up timing out, but a minute later I got an e-mail with my pass.

I think I really lucked out.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Looked up gofobo on twitter, just in case. Their last post was 2 whole weeks ago lmao

 

[geomon]

No ad revenue now with the servers all down.

 

[Merchandise]

So how long could this take right now? No plans today but sitting around for hours refreshing doesn't sound that fun

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

Why no front row in PSVR Sony?

 

[Dynomutt]

Gofobo probably never got that much traffic in its entire pathetic life!

Yup.

Sony: Can you handle our event?
Gofobo: Yeah yeah we got this.
Sony: It's E3...
Gofobo: We got this!


Sony face palm right now!

 

[mckmas8808]

They should just charge $20 bucks for this.

At this point I agree, except $10.

fuck you, I'm from winnipeg and I dissaprove of this message

 

[SeriousCrayon]

Why no front row in PSVR Sony?

Now I would even pay a little bit of cash for that experience..

 

[Baroquemantic]

This is the actual E3 experience. Reloading a webpage and imagining the show you can't see in theaters.

 

[KneehighPark]

You got it backwards. By asking to turn off adblockers, GoFoBo is driving traffic away from their site, which they can't handle anyways. They do it to make sure they don't overload their site

 

[SgtWiggles]

Next year to make the process even harder to get in they will just have us mail them letters pleading to get in. They then use a random sorting machine to burn most of the letters, then accept the lucky few

 

[Rapscallion]

Maybe this is viral marketing for the crash remakes?

 

[Animekatt]

I'm so glad that I'm off work today. Usually I'm working when these tickets become available. Now I can refresh gofobo's page the rest of the day!

 

[TetraGenesis]

This is the actual E3 experience. Reloading a webpage and imagining the show you can't see in theaters.

Hahahahahaha, tragic but true

 

[Kusagari]

Eventgrid would at least load. This site is completely and utterly borked.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

The true truth

 

[IDontBeatGames]

Man, and I thought getting Comic Con tickets was stressful.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Fucking 10 out of 10.

 

[xenorevlis]

Ugh, the moment its going to work SF will be "sold out" watch -_-

 

[deranged_666]

Usually by 15 or 20 minutes past, I would be just getting my confirmation e-mails from Eventgrid, after having sludged through an entire shitshow process to get them. And I thought it couldn't be any worse

 

[SgtWiggles]

Its sad when I have an easier time getting a Nintendo Switch and a Zelda Master Edition than a fucking ticket for a free Sony event thats happened 3 times already....

 

[BronsonLee]

Gofobo handles advance screening tickets for most movies, it makes more sense to use them than Eventgrid

The problem is they did it for all theaters all at once and y'all got no chill

 

[JigglesBunny]

Oh servers, where'd you Go...FoBo.

 

[IDontBeatGames]

Ugh, the moment its going to work SF will be "sold out" watch -_-

Same thing for New York probably.

 

[quesalupa]

I think stuff is happening.
Edit: nope

 

[NESpowerhouse]

It's at least attempting to load for me now.

EDIT nvm

 

[smashdude50]

Managed to get tickets!

 

[The Elite]

It was really trying to load just a second ago. Just shit the bed though.

 

[Quintin DM]

Oh shit I actually got through. Just got two tickets! Did it on my Ipad and it worked.

 

[Trace]

Tickets = gotten.

Thanks Edge browser.

Not our fault their servers are run by hamsters and potatoes
