Fans tried for hours to get through the ticketing website and failed.</p> <p>Even as late as 5pm, fans called up The Straits Times to say they were having problems getting into the F1 website to buy tickets.</p> <p>Those who tried calling also could not get through.</p> <p>Some who tried both and failed rushed down in the hope they would have better luck buying over the counter. They were wrong.</p> <p>Tickets sales on the ground too had run into problems. At the one of SingPost ticket stations, the system was so slow that only three fans were able to purchase tickets in the three hours from opening.</p> <p>Mark Benterman was whooping with joy when he finally got into the Singapore GP website after one and a half hours of trying.</p> <p>The British Airways pilot, who lives in Singapore, reserved two Pit Grandstand tickets, each costing $1,388, but his session was timed-out as he was filling in his particulars on the online form.</p> <p>When Benterman managed to log on to the website again an hour later, he realised, to his horror, that he had lost his seats. After four hours of trying, he gave up trying to buy the tickets online.</p> <p>'It was absolutely frustrating and a disgrace,' he slammed.</p> <p>'I like Singapore for its efficiency but this incident is unacceptable. I am trying to spend money but I can't, due to a computer problem. If Singapore GP cannot sell it online, then they shouldn't have offered the tickets on the Internet.'</p> <p>Similarly, Mr Lim Yong Soon had unsuccessfully tried to get the tickets online.</p> <p>The businessman also tried buying them at the SingPost outlet at Bukit Timah but was told that the website had crashed. After five hours of trying, Lim gave up.</p> <p>He said: 'It's very frustrating to keep trying for hours without results.'</p> Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:19:01 +0800 sgforums.com:1989:307558:7859557 astro_boy http://sgforums.com/forums/1989/topics/307558 <p>haha, i tried first time can already..I got the Bay GrandStand lower sector tickets,&nbsp;row 4!

I find it a total disgrace; imagine you're a tourist trying to buy the tickets online and you spend most of your time just trying to access a webpage.. what type of picture is this painting of Singapore?</p> Thu, 14 Feb 2008 12:44:27 +0800 sgforums.com:1989:307558:7857705 astro_boy http://sgforums.com/forums/1989/topics/307558
