Did anyone manage to purchase them today?  I tried for about 2 hours as soon as sales opened and now it's saying to try again Nov 8... anyone know what happened? :(

I was able to purchase mine about 3 minutes ago... after they put up the Nov 8 message. The ticket company web server is still working, they just took the link off the CCI page... :)

Just tried to purchase a 2nd ticket for fiance... now ticket servers are offline :/

aw boo, i just tried buying after i saw your post
 
ugh i couldnt get through at all! i wonder what went wrong

Twitterverse is saying 100k users tried hitting their servers at 9am this morning.

Comic Con International will announce next monday (Nov 8) when the servers will be back online. That doesn't mean tickets will be purchasable then, just that they'll then tell you when.

awesome, thanks for the info!

So tickets will be going on sale now , Feb 5th?

There were a lot of problems with getting tickets this year-- all's not lost, though, sometimes you can still find them. I know Radical Publishing is having a contest for four-day passes, it's on their facebook: http://www.facebook.com/radicalpublishing
