I didn't remember to try for this until around 12:15, so obviously nothing on my end either. We could all maybe have a Kraftwerk commiseration party?

there were 50,000 simultaneous connections to the ticket site at around 12:15 apparently

i am covering this as press - i may get in that way, though they are strictly limiting press as well
spoke to the moma press department this morning - they say they have been inundated with press requests - as you can imagine, every blogger/magazine/newspaper in NYC wants to be on the list for this
capacity is quite a bit below 1000
― geeta, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 18:23 (twelve years ago) link
i will be in NYC anyway the week of April 11, so a Kraftwerk commiseration party sounds like a plan!!
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
Sorry - but since there was such high demand and a limited number of tickets available - this event has sold out! We wish there was more inventory available, but space was very limited. We appreciate your understanding. Thank you!
TEE

yeah i am trying to get press tickets too, they are friendly but when i emailed last week the guy was like "hey, you could always try your luck next week"

i tried for radio-activity and failed
according to Showclix on twitter, all 8 kraftwerk shows are now sold out

i figured this would be a 'limited press only' event, yeah, like music editors of high-profile print only, but one never knows, sometimes...
