Ask HN: Did you get Google IO 2013 Ticket? If so at what time PDT?

My friend got one about 15 minutes after registration opened, so I don't think it's a get-em-while-their-hot kind of deal. My guess is that they're being rate-limited, and it's not too late (I say to myself, staring at that stupid spinning circle hoping against hope)

Tried on my Droid X phone, web page still says waiting for a ticket, never put me back on the main page. Bug?

Registration is now closed.

Finally got a ticket reservation @7:40PDT.

Checkout #1. Timeout - Wallet shows a cancelled transaction - "Unable to notify the merchant of this order.". Pending transaction of $900 showing on bank account.

Checkout #2. Same as above. Now bank shows two pending transactions for $900.

Checkout #3. Card is now declined.

Checkout #4. Ticket reservation expires, redirect to start.

7:50PDT - Registration is now closed.

My brother got a pending charge of $0.00 and a confirmation email and confirmation code. I got a pending charge of $300.00 without either of the two above...guess we have to wait and see what happens...

Got one at 7:45 PDT. Was a pretty smooth transaction. Got it in my first try for both the ticket and the payment.

Agh, I clicked at 7:00:02, got a 500, refresh, and I've been retrying on every bounce. Now it's closed :-(

7:45 AM PDT

I got to the wallet screen, clicked 'start now' and the clock was ticking. Looked at the developer console and noticed a failed POST. Closed the popup window and tried again. It worked.

I have a pending charge of $900 in my Google wallet transaction history but no confirmation. It timed out while I was making the purchase, so still not sure.
