Whoops! The Red Sox have apparently sold all of their tickets in anticipation of making it to the Series, so they aren't affected by this.

Rockies World Series Ticket Onsale
This morning, after more than 8.5 million hits on the Colorado
Rockies website, Paciolan (Pack-ee-o-lan), Major League Baseball's
ticket vendor, experienced a system wide outage that impacted all of
its North American customers. As a result, the Colorado Rockies have
suspended the sale of 2007 World Series tickets scheduled to be played
at Coors Field.
"It's been an extremely frustrating morning for our fans and the
entire Rockies' organization," said Keli McGregor, Rockies' team
president. "We are working diligently with Major League Baseball and
Paciolan to resolve the issues impacting online ticket sales for the
2007 World Series."
Although some ticket transactions (less than 500 seats) did take
place this morning, virtually the entire allotment for all three games
of the World Series scheduled for Coors Field remains intact. A plan
for the sale of the available World Series tickets will be announced as
soon as the details are available.
