@OnlyInBOS The fire chief said it was the compressed air cylinders and not the oxygen tanks. https://t.co/EJaXFUuTxQ

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@OnlyInBOS This building has the dive shop and there was an explosion that rocked the surrounding neighborhood, seems like maybe the oxygen tanks were invovled.

@MBTA_CR @Labrat3 @MBTA Retrying never worked. A support person told me to create an account with a different email address and that worked. I still verified using the same email from my FIFA account, not a nice bug, now I have two mTicket accounts.

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@MBTA_CR @Labrat3 @MBTA This is continuing to fail for me too

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@eddylu88 How did anyone get in, I hit the site immediately and never got past the "Access Tickets" button after verifying my card...

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@eddylu88 It is like they are surprised by the millions of requests they get when they set a time deadline for an offer like this. Just plain bad software development.

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@WellsFargo This seems to be an illustration of insufficient load and/or functional testing

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@WellsFargo Yeah this one was a joke, the site did not work at all and then said SOLD OUT. Not sure who or how anybody was able to buy anything.

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@WellsFargo Next obstacle after the eligibility check finally worked is receiving a 403 when hitting the "Continue to ticketing" link. Looks like they have spaces in "code" query param, don't think that will work. Or they are once again overloaded.

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@WellsFargo They finally sent an email and then the site at least had a By Now option, which led to a modal checking the eligibility of the card (this then hung up probably due to not handling the load)

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@tunae @WellsFargo Finally got verified then they buy now failed with an AWS CloudFront error. They should have used serverless for everything!

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@tunae @WellsFargo This is where we find out this was a well-executed scam spoofing a Wells Fargo affiliation to harvest a bunch of credit card numbers... Or more likely, developers using AI coded software that cannot handle the load

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@calesemijo Looks like it is supposed to go the other way, it confused me as it ewnt backwards to start

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@calesemijo Now

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@Ticket_Help2022 How do you know they are sharing cookies to reuse credentials? This should be easily defensible for the FIFA developers

These right wing politicians invoke the name of Jesus so often, while espousing and demonstrating so much hate and elitism. They seem to forget Jesus' message and behave much more old testament. Your neighbors are not just those who agree with you.

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

So far I have waited and failed twice to get into @FIFAWorldCup Visa pre-draw. Well @FIFAcom seems like time to remove the entry page until it is fixed and put up a status message.

[Brad Mongeon @CortexCompiler]

@loosetesticles @taslauo Users are going to be users, the problem is bad software and architecture. The developers should have done better load testing.
