Got a ticket reserved, but then Google Wallet was failing to load my credit card data. After 4:30 of waiting, it finally kicked in and I kicked off a purchase, only to have the timer run out before it finished. So now I've got a pending $900 charge on my Google Wallet account. Guess I get to see if that actually goes through and I get a ticket. Edit: Google has cancelled the $900 charge and I now do not have a ticket…

Got in, pressed purchase, got the modal, pressed the pay button, "Your purchase will complete momentarily ...", sat for a while, closed modal, started over x2, tried waiting for 3 minutes, timed out, no pending charges. How annoying.

Chronicling as it happens... 1. First time, got into the "Waiting for available ticket..." screen, got kicked after about a minute. 2. Second time, got into the "Waiting for available ticket..." screen, got kicked after six minutes (maximum time you can spend on that screen.) Was redirected to a "No More Tickets Available" page, but went back to the main page and saw it said "There might be tickets still available!"…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm stuck in the wallet land as well.

Closing out and re-opening that modal a few times eventually got it to work.

I tried that but it ended up getting cancelled

In fact I have two pending $900 charges on my Google Wallet account.

As do I... And no verification of registration yet. This is an absolute mess.

got through to the buy on google wallet and it timed out. No charges if I look at my googlw wallet account so i think i'm screwed.
