    There is a queue system if and when you get through. Place in the queue is randomly assigned.

    Everyone wants a $98 BridgeClimb ticket for our 21st Birthday on October 1, and we want to make sure you have a chance to checkout. All the excitement makes our servers work hard, so please be patient with us while we help everyone get their orders placed. When it is your turn, you will have 12 minutes to finalise your booking. If you can't get your first choice of Climb time, please try another departure time.

    Expected arrival time on the website: 9:47 AM
    Your estimated wait time is: 43 minutes

    Something has gone wrong at the server, or sold out already?

    The line is paused.
    Status last updated: 9:10:18 AM

    The line is moving again but the estimated wait time has blown out to more than an hour.

      With Maximum of 14 Tickets, of course, it needs about 10 people to exhaust the availability.

      The FAQ says:

      "I already booked for the of October 1, will I be able to receive a refund?
      Absolutely! It’s only fair. Everyone who has already booked will be offered refunds and will be able to climb at $98. Talk about your lucky day."

      So all the family and friends of staff would have bought their tickets before the promotion was publically anncounced and will now be claiming refunds.

  • rythex on 12/09/2019 - 09:16

    Website crashed before 9am and when the webpage is refreshed it went to queue page and now the line is paused.

    • brett-au on 12/09/2019 - 09:23

      I'm not unhappy about missing out - I'm also at more than an hour. It's a complete crap shoot and normally depends on things like how close your internet is to their servers.

      I am disappointed that someone set it to a limit of 14 tickets per booking. That's a pile of crap. How about making it limit of 2 people and then maybe a few hundred people can come along..

    Maybe, I'll wait until their 30th Birthday sale in 2028 and pay with cryptocurrency, from the moon.

    • Serapis on 12/09/2019 - 09:31

      Tickets will probably be $10,000 then. Will probably be cheaper catching the view from orbit via space elevator.

    It's working. Reload the page, and hit ESC in the moment the purchasing page appears but before you are redirected to the queue. You can then purchase a ticket.

      worked for me. but had to settle to a different time slot than intended.
      Once you are in the booking page, if you get Error object, mostly it is because of unavailability, do not refresh the page but click Back button (in the page not in browser) and it takes you back to select a different time slot.

    I got it… clicked on booking button 2 mins before 9, was in queue for 7 mins but then it started acting weird and then the queue was in pause. Eventually it worked… had to try multiple times. Lot of "Object Error" before it went through. Try using CC direct, might save trip to and back from Paypal site.

  • flouise on 12/09/2019 - 09:40

          So if you dont see a charge, hopefully you call them and cancel one of the bookings.

        However, thinking they have the power to search your phone, let them rummage through your photos and delete images and videos is totally not okay… it's borderline Orweillian

        • aragornelessar on 12/09/2019 - 11:04

          How did you plan on taking photos when you literally can't take anything up? They even put you through a metal detector. And you wear jump suits that don't have pockets for you to put anything into from memory

          6.3 Other than as set out in clause 6.1 and 6.2 above, Climbers are not permitted to take any items onto the Bridge (including but not limited to items such as cameras, videos, audio, pagers, mobile phones, handbags, and any other personal items).

    Managed to get a hold of the customer support: "it is great that you have a booking number, this means your climb has been booked.
    Due to the high demand we are finding that booking confirmation emails are taking a little longer than usual to arrive.
    I would recommend checking you emails again later today, make sure you check your junk folder too as it could have been sent there."
