> the anger over what happened yesterday is overblown

Much of the anger is about Ticketmaster’s terrible website, which made it impossible for fans to reliably buy tickets even when they spent the whole day hitting refresh. There can be no excuse for that.

You mean there is never any good reason or excuse excuse you’ll accept for any website to crumble under the pressure of nearly 15 million people clicking add to cart, or checkout at the exact same instant?

People clicking refresh the whole day to get tickets? Let’s be real here unless you were in queue before the tickets even went on sale, the chances of getting a ticket were nearly zero.
