Fail Quatchi Unleashes Rage, Tweeters Join In

The final round of ticketing for the 2010 Olympics was set to launch this morning, but servers crashed and epic fail ensued. While Facebook was quiet, the tweeters were unyielding.

@PhilCaines Tickets.com is not able to handle the 3rd Olympic ticket selling. Why did vanoc use such a lowsy service? There are errors all over! #2010

@jeremylim If #2010 ticketing were in person, it would look like the crowd at a single-stall ladies’ bathroom. At a Jonas Bros concert.

@vchan Twitter has the failwhale when things go wrong. I wonder if Vancouver 2010 site is going to show a giant fail Quatchi.

@chrisbreikss: going to petition Webster to change the def of “Debacle” to include reference to 2010 Olympic ticket purchasing process

@bobmackin Will there be a souvenir pin issued to commemorate the VANOC ticketing “SNAFU Saturday?”

@trenzullo BIG waste of time today. Can’t believe @2010tweets didn’t send out relevent tweets throughout the am

That’s not to say there weren’t victories today. One person got in.

@2010Tweets RT @mhlchong finally logged in!! – Congrats!

For those still looking for tickets, VANOC has moved the date to November 14th, but will we be caught waiting in line again?
