What if my page crashed and I lost my place in line?

What if my internet froze?
What if there were no tickets left once I actually made it into the main site?
The pressure wason, and I wasnt especially hopeful.
Naturally, many were frustrated with the wait times.
Its too many ppl in this line, wroteone user.
Yall said the album was trash and yall couldnt afford eggs.
Why are yall in here?
(The general sale is on February 14good luck with that.)
Then, all at once, I was in.
I clicked on a pair in the 100s level for $500 a pop and tried to check out.
These tickets are no longer available.
The only available tickets were in the ultra-VIP Buckin Honey Pit right by the stage.
As it turns out, if youre willing to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars, moneycanbuy happiness.
Its no secret that concert tickets are fueled by a corrupt, capitalist system.
But new laws are slowly being implemented to stem the tide.
I lingered on theCowboy CarterTicketmaster page, ready to admit my defeat.
The show was sold outfor now.
Perhaps I would try my luck again on the general sale date.
Someone must have released them, or failed to check out in time.
I clicked on them, furiously plugged in my payment information, andta-da!
So, dont lose hope, Beyhive.
Play the waiting game,stay ready, and you just may be able to see the queen on-stage.
Oh, and maybe swap out your modem.
