World PLN 6

Olympic Tickets crash from ESPN.com

Hmmm, let me think, has this happened before? Oh ya, that’s right, it only happened a week ago with World Series tickets! What is going on here? Why can’t they figure it out? I can maybe understand a first time team messing it up, but isn’t China supposed to be the most technologically advanced country with all their computers and what not? How could the most famous and popular world event ticket center crash with all the money and time being put into things? They should have backups or something along those lines. I can only imagine (and can’t wait for) the winter Olympics in Toronto in ’10, those ticket sales should just be a hoot. Hopefully we all learn from this. Maybe Toronto won’t screw the tickets up, even with the super advanced technology that Canada is known for. Just kidding, were going to learn from this and I’m pretty confident that the Olympic squad or team or whatever there called will be on to of it. By the way, this summer will be twice as good as normal because of the Olympics.

I agree with you. These gletches are getting out of hand. China should definitely know what they are doing because the are one of the most technologically advanced country in the world. The Rockies glicth was wierd though and it wasn't smart on how they did it, by selling the tickets online to Red Sox fans.

If there are millions of people trying to get to that web site, the site might not be able to hold all that information being thrown at it. I think they should set up multiple web sites for this so one web site won't overload because of information, and if one of those sites does go down, then they will have back-ups.

Definentaly these glitches are getting out of hand and there needs to be somthing done before somthing more serious happens.Also,you would think that a country hosting a worldwide event would try to make a large capasity for the website.

I would be more upset about this if if there was even the slightest possibility I could even go to the Olympics. But I don't think I'm going to China anytime soon, I'm going to Mongolia but not China. So I am not as upset about this as when it happend to the Rockies.

O and remember, shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars.
