Controlling the online crowd.

But as there were large amount of fans purchasing the tickets at the same time, causing the internet site to be paralyzed at some point of time, but at the same time the 5 counters set up at The Heeren also experienced the same problem, delaying the sales for the fans who queued there. SISTIC chairman Tan Jun Hao revealed during a interview yesterday morning that 10 minutes before the sales of tickets began, the website has already been experiencing high traffic flow, beginning to show symptoms of a possible jam of the site, therefore start controlling the traffic flow, it was only then that the traffic flow got better. He also mentioned that the average speed of the counters at The Heeren was 2 minutes per fan.

Many fans did not mange to purchase any tickets.
Not wanting to squeeze with all the other fans, Super Junior fan Valerie Tan queued at Parkway Plaza over night, although she was the first in line, yet she only managed to purchase 6 tickets in 30 minutes. She said “When I bought the ticket at 10am, the counter staff told me the website has been paralysed, he kept refreshing the page and said that the tickets have been sold out, giving me the shock of my life! Only after roughly 30 minutes did I managed to purchase 6 tickets, but I still need 5 more tickets.”
