Rockies Suspend World Series Sales Due to Paciolan Problem

Atlanta, GA 10/23/2007 4:32:10 AM

The Colorado Rockies suspended World Series ticket sales after overwhelming demand crashed their computer infrastructure.

 

The Rockies had placed 60,000 World Series tickets online through Paciolan, an online ticket company. However, in the mad dash of ticket purchases, the website, coloradorockies.com, became unavailable, causing a raucous for Rockies fans.

 

As soon as tickets were placed online, the site received 8.5 million site views in the first 90 minutes.

 

According to reports, Paciolan had an unspecified problem. The crash also affected the company’s entire North American system.

 

Coors Field, the home stadium for the Rockies, holds 50,000 people, but only 30,000 tickets are available to season-ticket holders, the two teams and Major League Baseball.

 

Due to the exponentially increased traffic on the site, ColoradoRockies.com crashed, leaving many fans livid in their hopes to see their home team playing in person.

 

The Rockies limited sales to four per person per game.

 

The Rockies will face the Boston Red Sox in World Series. The Series opens in Boston with games on Wednesday and Thursday. Games 3 and 4 will be on Saturday and Sunday in Denver. If there is a Game 5, it will be played Monday in Denver.

 

Season-ticket holders got a chance to buy their tickets last weekend. Prices range from $65 to $250.

 

Tickets originally were to be sold at Coors Field and Rockies' Dugout Stores in the Denver area, as well as online. The team announced Wednesday all sales would be online, saying that would be fairer.
