I bought two tickets to prudential center and everything seemed to go through. My bank account was charged but I have yet to receive a confirmation email. Should I be worried?

It will say sold out when it's busy. However I got tickets after it said sold out 10 times.
Keep trying til a bit more.
since the online sales are usually nerve-wracking and leave a lot of people out in the cold, and since the paperless thing only makes it worse b/c you can't have friends try to help you get tickets, here are two suggestions which have worked for years for other super-popular bands:
1. mail-order tickets
2. a ticket lottery in which all requests entered within a given period are weighed equally
"While you make pretty speeches, I'm being cut to shreds...you feed me to the lions, a delicate balance."
I had my tickets selected, entered all my info and payment info, and click purchase tickets...and it tells me my credit card was refused because of some bullshit about something about the cookies on my computer. I buy tickets for shit all the time and have never had that pop up. Seriously fucked up.
Tickets are UP NOW, and quickly selling out. I managed to get 2 tickets for Camden.
WTF, this is WAY worse than my previous failed experiences with waste presales! Why waste our time with this bullshit, if the vast majority of us aren't even going to be able to get on to the page when the time comes? This was an ABSOLUTE w.a.s.t.e of time for me, time I really couldn't afford today.
I doubt I will ever bother with w.a.s.t.e again, but here are some simple suggestions:
1. get a bigger server
2. don't release a bunch of shows on the same day!
3. if you know people will be up for hours, don't wait until 10:30 to release the tickets
By the time we got through the clusterfuck of page loading, everything was gone, and I suspect almost everyone else had a similar experience. So it's on to Ticketmaster, which will be about the same. And then I guess it's on to the secondary market, which is quickly becoming the only way to see this band, "paperless" tickets or not.
Thanks for botching it royally once again!
I have been waiting up all night to get these tickets and they sell out instantly!?? this is fucking ridiculous. you think they'd have a few more tickets for their fans. I just wasted 10 fucking hours on this site. fucking scalpers!!
hey how do i get tickets for the camden new jersey show?
i need tickets!
"WASTE" is fitting!
Never heard of it and not sure if it is real or not, wondering if anyone used it before.
I'm not currently buying from it since it seems wierd, but if anyone used it before and it works, I'll go ahead.

I think it's fair to say everyone on here today appreciates the chance to do the presale, but it seems that both the Tour Dates site, and noe waste central itself, can't handle the traffic. There's no point in waiting for hours and hours for an unannounced presale, if when the time comes you can't even get on the site! How can we hope to actually complete a purchase, if we can't even load the page? So please considering adding more server power, otherwise the pre-sale will just be a method of torture with no results to show for it...
Hey all, if you're like me, you've been at this for several hours, and have noticed that the main tour dates page keeps getting hung up or giving a "could not load" type of error. This is getting worse as the morning rolls on, and it's probably because we're all hitting "refresh" over and over. We should each try to avoid refreshing more than just every 3-5 minutes, since if we can't load the page when they finally go on sale, then we're going to be SOL. So in case that's why this is happening, try to keep that in mind...!
Would it be to much for them to tell their loyal fans when the fucking tickets go on sale? I really dont understand why they keep us guessing like this... ....its BS. They claim to be so cool and fan friendly... well just tell us so people with real jobs dont have to do the BS and sit with the waste site up all day and night. Sorry fans....admit this is BS...
They know they are going to sell out the shows so why not treat us right and tell us when the tix go on sale.... hope you are reading this RH..... they cant blame it on the servers because they are going to be swamped no matter WHEN they go on sale...sooooo whats the secret?
Hi Guys,
I have been up since 5;30 am. I have been sick for two days, but i still didn't want to loose any chance of seeing them LIVE ! I have a severe cold, headache and sore throat. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE MOMENT THE TICKETS GO ON SALE............ If you guys are a true fan of Radiohead then you would definitely not keep another fan in distress.. :(
Dear Radiohead, im not sure if you will read this or even see this, but i implore you, to please re-consider adding more shows or changing venues to a bigger arena its been 8 long years and b4 that it was the ok computer tour, yet you continue to tour europe quite frequently is there a reason why you dont do the same for a place like australia.
Yes i am from newcastle near sydney no im not from adelaide or pertth but i am also asking you tour perth and adelaide as well so they dont feel left out, in fact maybe better re scheduling till next january and doing the big day out festival and restarting the ticket purchasing process over again so the promoters and others have more time to put principles in place to stop scalpers.
Even 8 years ago i didnt see you as thoms voice broke before the sydney show and JJJ the local radiostation for younger listeners was going to record the sydney gig but because of the broken voice it never was able to happen.
Please i know the group fb page i made doesnt have millions of fb people on it but it has a small devoted few like myself who lined up at 6 am to be told at 9:05am the ticketmaster website server has gone down we cant get it back up, sorry u will have to go online or ring up to get tickets, i mean gone are the days of old when you would line up like everyone else and getting there at 6 am and being 3rd in line ment u got a ticket, it didnt mean the server went down so u missed out cus then everyone misses out.
Please i beg of you to re-consider and either do 1 of 3 things, 1. CHANGE VENUES - i dont know who chose your venue in sydney which aka holds only 12,000 people at the sydney entertainment center where as the acer arena for such bands as Metallica or Foo Fighters or coldplay can hold up to 20 to 25,000 people, maybe you wanted an intimate show who knows, 2. CHANGE DATES - till january so you can come to the bdo, BIG DAY OUT, which is then held in all states of Australia and in Auckland in New Zealand and NUMBER 3. ADD MORE SHOWS - For the benefit of those devoted fans who have loved every record of yours from kid a to my iron lung and songs from bangers and mash to morning bell, or maybe please announce that u will do a private small show some where.
I know you might not read this but i hope you do.

I happened to really like it. It kind of sounds like playground love...I just wish Mr. York would kick it up a few notches on the outro...Kind of like 2+2+5... And you can tell the band loves playing it=)
W.A.S.T.E. Tickets site isn't working properly....asking for manchester uk.....keeps offering germany...help.
