World Championship tickets failure

I have just tried to buy tickets for the finals of world championships, I was early to the party waiting for the link to go live. I got access at about 4:59 and proceeded to ask for 2 tickets. I was then put in a queue, dropped out of queue to a homepage of the website, so refound the links, got put into a queue and dumped again multiple times (on multiple accounts and computers as well). Not to mention dumped into a german site multiple times which I couldn't understand, when changing it back to english... queue.

Finally got through to a page where I could add to basket again around 10 minutes after the tickets were released and surprise surprise they had all gone. Extremely poor queue management from the ticket website and it has left us annoyed as we also lost out on Wembley tickets due to expecting the sale to go live at 17:00 BST (time in London that was stated on the Riot website).

Please get a bigger arena for a World Championships and hire a proper ticket company to handle sales, this is a farce.

I too got dumped out of the queue. I had tickets in my basket ready to buy when I got redirected to the main page. By the time I was able to get back into the event all the tickets were gone.

Why is the finals being held in a stadium that can only hold 17,000 people when last year the stadium in Seol had a capacity of 69,000 people?

There are plenty of stadiums in Europe that have far greater capacities.

Well I think most of us had that story, myself I sat rdy at 17.00 got into that stupid waitroom, spent about five min in got kicked out. Manage to grab some new tickets more waitroom started to get throu by clicking proceed, three times nothing in my basket... All tickets sold out. At 17.30 it came out a lot of new tickets so sat there spamming refresh, getting told everytime I went to proceed that they were gone.

Were so ready for the blast together with my friend, but no tickets, well I guess I´m not alone. Just sucks that I won´t be visit my fried in Berlin. I also wish they made the tickets personal so you wouldn´t have to look at all those tickets going to waist at viagogo and toxic sites like those.
