Jay AlvesIdiots! On Monday, the Colorado Rockies World Series tickets were supposed to go on sale online. Rockies fans were pissed off! Why online? Why allow any Joe Schmo from anywhere in the world have an attempt at getting tickets? The only people who really care are the Colorado Fans. So now the brilliant Rockies organization has decided to allow, and even encourage the world to buy and the resell tickets to a true fan for a profit - by opening the selling to the world.

I have high speed internet. I decided just to try and buy them just to resell (at face value) to actual Colorado Fans.

So I opened coloradorockies.com in a few browsers on several computes and at 10am and tried getting in. WHAT A MESS! The server was overloaded, and crashed. The spokesperson for the Rockies, Jay Alves, blames the issue on a ‘malicious’ hack. Bullshit!! Take the blame you idiot - your (Rockies Organization included) brilliant scheme to open sales to the entire world brought in so much traffic that your servers could not handle the surge. You probably were told by tons of people that an overload was going to happen (or at least there was a very high potential), and you ignored it. Now to try and save face, you blame it on a non-existent malicious hacker. Also, your stupid lying press conferences showed that you - Jay Alves - are a pompass asshole. This was a very frustrating time for the Rockies fans that you alienated, and you got on the news and didn’t give any useful information, at times belittling the reporters asking questions. I just wanted to bitch slap your ugly mug every time you got on T.V.
On the following day they tried the internet thing again, had some more problems, but finally got to selling them. I believe my IP got blocked from accessing the server, and was unable to access the server at all after about 30 minutes.

Good news for the Rockies - they showed the world how NOT to sell World Series tickets. Kind of like how we are unable to solve murders (Jon Benet, Darrent Williams, etc) and like California can’t convict murderers (just fill in the blank here).

Congrats to the entrepreneur scalpers who did get in. Exploiting the stupid decisions made by high-paid Rockies executives will certainly hurt their value in the eyes of the fans.
