Colorado Rockies and the online frenzy

as I type this, thousands of Rockies fans across the region are logged on to the Rockies' website, hoping to be one of the lucky people to get 1-4 of the 54,000 available tickets. funny stuff. no coincidence that our phones have almost entirely stopped ringing. gotta wonder how much Colorado office bandwidth & productivity are declining now.

This is what most people are seeing now on their browsers:

"Please wait for the server to become available. The site is experiencing heavy loads at this time.

To improve your ticket-buying experience and to make it as pleasant as possible, this site permits entry to a limited number of patrons at a time.

This page will refresh when the countdown timer below reaches zero. When this happens, the system will automatically try to access the site again.

Do not refresh this page or you will be dropped to the end of the line. Thank you for your patience."
