I tried my best but couldn't get the ticket to IO 2013 this time. I was on the website at 6:59am PDT but sining in and getting to the ticket page it was 7:02 PDT. Sucks, share your experiences?
Checkout #1. Timeout - Wallet shows a cancelled transaction - "Unable to notify the merchant of this order.". Pending transaction of $900 showing on bank account.
Checkout #2. Same as above. Now bank shows two pending transactions for $900.
Checkout #3. Card is now declined.
Checkout #4. Ticket reservation expires, redirect to start.
My friend got one about 15 minutes after registration opened, so I don't think it's a get-em-while-their-hot kind of deal. My guess is that they're being rate-limited, and it's not too late (I say to myself, staring at that stupid spinning circle hoping against hope)
My brother got a pending charge of $0.00 and a confirmation email and confirmation code. I got a pending charge of $300.00 without either of the two above...guess we have to wait and see what happens...
I got to the wallet screen, clicked 'start now' and the clock was ticking. Looked at the developer console and noticed a failed POST. Closed the popup window and tried again. It worked.
I have a pending charge of $900 in my Google wallet transaction history but no confirmation. It timed out while I was making the purchase, so still not sure.
