Anyone get the payment error after getting through the queue? I’m back in the queue and can only hope I’m in a payment queue since there were 215 remaining when I got through and started at 825 in queue after getting the error.

I didn't get any error or que after I entered my name and email. Just got redirected straight to a cc processing page.

So early. I'm in the queue now and sitting at 500. Doubting this will work out.

Sounds like they’re sold out, if you go by the FB Page.

Didn’t quite make it. Worth a try while sipping my morning coffee.

 

[SinH4]

I'm pretty sure the next sale (I think they said there will be "2 or 3") will be at a more US-friendly time.

 

[MikeG1]

They stated there would be at least 2 or 3 sales times/dates, so I would hopefully assume they'll have another 2pm or so sale this afternoon or sometime soon for the US.

I'm in the queue at 568. Seems unlikely there's actually boxes left... I was up and in the office this morning at 8:30am (London time) having heard a rumor it'd be at 9am this morning, and would have been like first in line if only I hadn't gotten pulled into a meeting right at 10am, one minute before it went up...

 

[MooseLang]

I just refreshed one time before my morning run and got through. Hot damn

 

[tylerk88]

sold out? I started in the queue around 600 and am down to 250. assuming they're long gone at this point...

edit: took about 30 min to get to the end and got a "sales are closed" message.

 

[bostonvert]

What kind of time is that for an online sale, I hate these stupid online sales

 

[loldor]

Very smooth experience for me. Me and some friends got in queue around 10 minutes after the post and there were still 400 boxes left. Felt like the system was more robust than last time they had a sale, but that could be due to the timing and the US not being awake yet.

Happy to have some Fou Foune again as I ran out for the first time in years.

The billetticket link shared earlier did not work for me, I happened to see the FB post. Thank you to those who took the time to notify the thread!

From 548 to 32 to souled out

Be sure to go on their Facebook page and tell them how disappointed you are. If you don’t tell them how big of a fan you are and how much you like their beers, then you aren’t doing your civic duty.




(You’ll hit next time)

I feel like the Democrats are behind this.

Nah, this sale seemed to be pretty well organized.

Agreed. Congrats to those that scored.

There is likely going to be another sale that will allow the US to get some bottles. We bitch way too much as a country for them to not give in to our demands.

The Belgians bitch at least as much as you guys do

 

[2plums4one]

Yeah I don't do 6am unless I'm fishing so oh well. Maybe they'll put the last of it up during daylight hours. Congrats to those who scored.

My dog happened to wake me up at 5AM this morning, for whatever reason. I took her outside and was playing on my phone and saw the sale. Got through repeatedly, but my stupid bank kept declining the purchase apparently. Last time I try to use my debit card for this...

You need to set up verified by visa if you are going to use that card for online purchases through that portal. It is pretty easy to do but otherwise you will consistently get the boot when paying.

I'm not sure if that is something I can do with my bank visa card. I'll have to look into it. Thanks!

The annoying thing is I have made purchases through billetweb before: quintessence, previous release, etc. But I must have used a Capital One Visa and not my bank cards. Just have to hope they do the next release at a time I'm looking. But I suspect I won't have the same luck from my dog again. Haha

I had them lower my security back when I was trading crypto. There are ways to ensure that doesn't happen again. I forgot which was worse on forex fees, pp or card.

PSECU hosed me too during the last sale. I called them and they told me its a “security feature” you can have temporarily turned off if you give them exact details regarding the transaction.

I requested they turn it off...but its only viable for like 72 hours. Trying to explain to them that I wanted to buy a ticket in french for an “event” that I will not be attending, for an unknown price on an unknown day was too much effort to explain so I said **** it and took my wifes credit card for a different bank.

 

[BadJustin]

wow yous guys' banks care more than mine. Never encountered a problem.

That is who this whole fiasco is due to - PSECU. And I got them to turn it off as well, at 8:30 of course since they were closed at 5am. Like you said, it is only good for a few days. But, at this point it is probably of no use because who knows when the next sale will be. I'm kicking myself for not having one of my actual credit cards on-hand. I avoid them due to interest rates, and ended up screwing myself. To be so lucky to be awake at 5am randomly, only to sit and watch as an hour ticks by and I fail repeatedly....

I saw the FB post as soon as I woke up, saw that it was 4 hours ago and sighed.

Hopefully they do a second, 2AM is a pretty untenable time.
