<![CDATA[ Resolved: Problems with payment at Partyticket.net ]]> https://archive.gathering.org/tg09/en/news/26/65/Resolved-Problems-with-payment-at-Partyticket-net/
UPDATE Feb 4, 14:39: The issue is resolved and it is now possible to pay by using a credit or debet card :-)

It is currently not possible to pay using credit or debit cards at Partyticket.net. A subcontractor of Paynet is having problems, but they're working on it now. Until the problem has been resolved, credit transfer / online banking is the only working method of payment. Since you have access to the webshop for 72 hours, you can wait until tomorrow, and see if the problem has been resolved then. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
