I have never even had anything really show. I normally try at 10 am, 12 pm, 2 pm for about 15 minutes. I have no idea how people literally sit there all day constantly refreshing. You definitely deserve the ticket if you manage to get one!
I use a chrome add on to track a section of the page, so when the sold-out banner is removed it should give me an alert as it checks every 5 seconds, but it is not that great. Has anyone else tried anything like this?
