I found it extremely frustrating to try to use Eventbrite to schedule an appointment for a Covid Vaccination.
I tried to sign up for an appointment and did it exactly at 8 am today when it opened for the Wildwood location. It had me in a waiting mode for "tickets". Then it said the following:

Sumter County Health Department COVID-19 Vaccination January 11 2021
Mon, Jan 11, 2021 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST
It's your turn!
Please place your order quickly, this event may sell out soon.

It did not show HOW to get the "tickets" to the "event". Then in 5 minutes, it said sold out. I know the method to sign up in Arizona is much easier because my sister and brother in law live there and have gotten their corona vaccines.
Why is this cumbersome and unusual Eventbrite "ticket" and "event" system which is not well designed for signing up for appointments used? Why can't we at least have a sign up sheet to be put on a waiting list to eventually GET an appointment?
My frustration level is OFF THE CHARTS. I don't drink and I had a gin and OJ this morning and I'm still angry about this.
