Was refreshing the browser window from 8:45 til 12 when they ran out. No luck. A real bummer since I bought the track at xmas and know people who didn't support the campaign who still got tickets. Ah well, guess it is all down to chance...

As soon as I heard the free gig was definitely going ahead I registered for a ticket. This morning I got up, made breakfast and from 0900 till 1030 sat in front of my laptop refreshing my browser praying I would succeed and. I did, best feeling ever. Seeing RATM is going to rock it's one of those shows I never thought I'd get to see.

i was clicking refresh for horus on end and no luck. i am so devastated, and as there was such a high demand for tickets, surely they should either make the show bigger or have two victory gigs..please?

From 9am the SeeTickets was locked out. Finally got in about 11:30. Got to the page to get tickets and found my wife forgot to register! I've got 1 ticket 1 day before her birthday. DOG HOUSE FOR ME!

I logged on about 8:50 and spent 40 minutes trying to enter. We had 3 computers running: I was on my macbook, my mate was on my sister's and his girlfriend was on my pc. Somehow my pc was the only one that got through...TWICE so we all managed to get our registered tickets. Now its just going to be funny to stand in a field with thousands of undeserving people who only know one song!

I got up at 8:30 to log onto my computer before 9 but the server was busy for an hour. At 10, just when I was about to give up trying to get on the site, it worked! I entered my codes thinking awesome! but then my computer froze. Quickly opening it again I entered my details and got them! Then celebrated :D

YAAAAY RATM!!!

Me and my boyfriend got up at 8.40 to start getting the tickets. We had the screen open and left it to refresh but saw our friends on facebook had got some tickets at about 11 and we couldn't understand how we still hadn't got through. We then had two screens open and let them refreshed when my boyfriend thought that we might have more luck manually refreshing, that was when both screens let us book tickets! YAYYYYY

Yep!!!A friend and me both wanted to go so bad, so we agreed to enter each others depending on who got their first, was monitering the main page from 8:45 and started the refreshing debauchery until about 10:15 (also monitering twitters to see who got theirs, i guess twitter is usefull afterall) she got their first, and ordered mine too....and 5 mins later 2 of the 4 browsers I had open had finally loaded, heh. Oh and i'd love to see bizkit or fun lovin criminals play with RATM.

I had 5 browsers open at 858, and so did my mate, luckily she got through at like 915 and booked my ticket for me, got confirmation at 2-ish. After she texted me she got them, i still stayed on, trying to help others get a ticket and post a direct link if i got through, but after being in a queue for 1 hour i did not get through =(
Me and two friends who got tickets are proper excited and we were thinking about setlists, i really want them to play the following songs - Pistol Grip Pump, Renegades Of Funk, People Of The Sun, Bombtrack and Snakecharmer.

I got tickets in the then end but I can't go now because my friend who was also trying to get tickets didn't get any and I can't go on my own :( My mother doesn't trust me traveling from Wales to London on my own.

I managed to get one ticket, logged onto my work pc at 0845 and finally got through at 1025.
I've been a RATM fan since the first album was actually released to will know probably all the tracks they will play, its annoying that lots of the people there will have only heard one track and will be the biggest fans in the world !!
I just hope that the waether is good cos Finsbury PArk on a shit rainy day isnt pleasant !

I bought a dozen copies of the single and have been a fan since I was in utero. I renamed my house 'evil empire' and have Tim's face tattooed on my bottom. I was mad when after trying to book tickets using my sense of fan-based self-righteousness, I found that I didn't get a ticket. Now I am going to cry into my pillow which has a portrait of Tom Morello on it. After that I might do my best to get on with life. I'll find a way...somehow.

doesn't seem like many people got tickets, not that i know anyway.
and i do remember tom morello saying that they would make it that all 550,00 people who bought the single would be able to go.

my suggestion: a stadium UK tour
if they're willing to play for free then surely they would be fine with charging about £30 a ticket?
sell out shows? i think so

I had a hangover from the previous nights Fear Factory gig in Manchester and didn't get up until 10.30am, then I had to go straight to work. I forgot all about trying to get tickets for the RATM gig, even though my photo had been accepted and I had a code! At least I won't have to make the nightmare train journey down from Liverpool to London on a Sunday and stand in a field full of wankers!!!

There was one big flaw in the system, and it was the way the See Tickets Website works.

I waited from 8:55 till 11:20, and got in, however as soon as ou get through once, you can then get as many invites through as you want. I became all Socialist/Rage Like and started helopng people out on the RATM forums, however it meant that yu could effectivly queue jump.

Oh, and Tickets went off 23 minutes before they said they did. We know as the Regestration page cleared the Reg Database

Took me about 2 hours but got them eventually. It must've been down to IP address or something? I was refreshing 14 firefox browsers for 2 hours and then they all got through at the same time.

Later on about 10am my friends coud'nt get his to work, so i ended getting his as well.

I feel for the real RATM fans who lost out as well and hate the people who just got the tickets because it was free. Either way gonna be INSANE!
