How'd you get that far? I don't even see a link to buy tickets.

Is the Buy Tickets icon supposed to be clickable? I've been refreshing since two minutes before noon and it hasn't been clickable once.

I keep re-entering my request, but get the same PayPal msg, and nothing is going through my PayPal account.

The account you are trying to purchase tickets from is not able accept payments at this time. We have contacted the account owner with instructions on resolving the issue.

It probably should be linked, but your ISP may have the site cached, making an update slower to see, which is why I suspect they tweeted the link. Not so useful if you weren't looking at the tweet page though...

Okay, that is lame. The web site Buy Tickets button should be updated to go to that link. Not everyone follows twitter...

Not that it matters much since the payment page isn't working properly.

I am trying to buy late saturday, but page expired as unresolved issue-not accepting any payments

Well, this blows.

It's an unfortunate start, but these things happen when you launch an event online for the first time. I know this isn't the proper forum for it, but I would hope that the Cask Days 2011 site will include a bit more of a heads-up as to how online ticket buying will be run, and that a dry run is completed with PayPal et al before releasing the URL to the public.

Uhm, not keen on bothering people who are likely busy enough dealing with the lunch crowd & tickets sales, but did just notice this little notice, and wondered if anyone has called:

Please call (416) 928 - 0008 if there are any questions or concerns.

Anyone with a twitter account tweet back that paypal isn't working? Or SMS whomever at Volo? Or use whatever other communication method the kids are using nowadays?

(Actually calling the restaurant would be pointless I presume...)
