White House Easter Egg Roll Tickets Not Easy to Get

The White House says it released tickets to the annual Easter Egg Roll online today, but it's hard to say whether anyone actually successfully got any. WTOP is reporting constant site crashes at www.whitehouse.gov/eastereggroll/.

DCist just tried for some tickets, and received the following message:

Tickets for the 2009 White House Egg Roll are no longer available at this time. Tickets will be available at various times throughout the day. If you are unable to order tickets at this time, please check back later.

Of course, we'd have to scare up a child age ten or under in order to actually attend the event. Them's the rules. But did any DCist readers with kids manage to score tickets today? Or are you all seeing the same crashes and messages to try again later?
