Heineken Music Gigs

Bendihorse

Does anyone know if you have to have a facebook account to register for tickets to a heineken music gig?

I was hoping to register for a gig but it says you have to like them on facebook to register which is a PAIN as i don't have one.

Set one up, it takes 2 minutes. You can't get the tickets without one. The website is already struggling so id say when registration starts at 2pm it'll probably just crash. But worth a try anyway.

Anyone else even get a screen other than a server crash?

LETS BE AVN IT

Some joke did anyone get tickets? They should go back to the old way

Went on exactly at 2 and nothing, website just crashed completely! Imagine how much worse it is going to be on Thursday for the Dublin tickets?

fluff_daddy

ive been checking since 11 and its been down all morning

I got a ticket at like 5 past. You just had to keep refreshing the page. Not very fair but no matter how they give out free tickets there will be people disappointed

The actual heineken music page. I kept getting crash pages for a while until I just got lucky. Apparently the last time Heineken had a live project in Galway there was 2 releases of tickets so people may get lucky yet

I'd definitely assume that a portion of the people applying today were people from Dublin.

I wouldn't mind paying for them at all today, let alone a free gig!

The worst thing about this event is the people that got them that won't even like what Disclosure play at a gig, the people that are only going cos it's the new cool event that people are going to! :rolleyes: Would they have gone if it was a paid event? (That's just me being pedantic really.)

MadYaker

I got in. Can't wait!

Lads come on, free gigs for one of the top acts this year, and your complaining because the site was overloaded!?

More then likely problems your end or the site was simply overloaded, worked fine for me before/during/after tickets where on offer!

Best of luck to everyone at 2pm

Right was thinking we had wires crossed there somewhere. Are you using a different link? http://www.heineken.com/global/system/agegateway.aspx

maximoose

^ Neither that, nor music-ie.heineken.com are working for me

Are you in an office that might have this blocked? I am so I was thinking this could possibly be the reason.

princemuzzy

maximoose

I've made progress, it isn't blocked but "server is unavailable" :pac:

hasn't, just not letting new requests in, which is why you have the site open about an hour before!

I have a tab open where the site is working but haven't refreshed in a while, will the ticket link just become active or will I have to refresh again?

MattHelders

Do you have to be logged on before 2? Or can you log on after refreshing?

So unprepared!!

garrkell

Onecoolcookie

anyone had any luck?

I'm still stuck on 'The Voyage' page

course not. terrible way to give out free tickets. not fair in the slightest. most of these will be sold off to the highest bidder

ghostdancer

have managed to get onto the site at least, haven't actually managed to get to the tickets page though...
