I'm not supporting early release and I'm not saying that anything is ever done for us, the customer's sake.

When I first looked, I think it told me 9,000 people so I think I'm out.
Do you really think having people stares at 130,000+ windows for over 20 min is good marketing? I just hope there's no bug on the website and the page would stop refreshing once your dates are sold out.

I wonder how long this wait's going to go for? Can't take that long to sell 2014 HKD$100 tickets!

No luck at all today. My mom (she's in that stage of life) wouldn't stop bugging me about the most minute details. I didn't even realized it was 7:59....now stuck in an ever-growing queue of 15,000 people (now 130,000)

That's my evening for y'all

Thank you for the news! Going to take another nap for 30 minutes!
Taipei is the only route with possible dates!

The waiting screen became "dates you have selected for Taipei have already sold out" and now it's greyed them out on date selection screen.

Now plus my Sydney dates.
