Tickets are all gone for fan fest

Meanwhile, those of us in the midwest with jobs and bills are pretty much screwed regardless...

Even some of us who worked from home couldn't get tickets. Only 4 out of the 7 people in my group that were planning to go were able to get tickets, and of those, 3 of those were purchased by one person.

At least you've gotten to go before. Some of us never had the opportunity and were looking forward to making it this year.

And just for SE information this needs to be in a convention center like in LA or Orlando. A place that has room for more people.

Actually the venue last year was larger. many don't understand why they went back to a smaller one.

I live in Las Vegas. I was honestly looking forward to finally going to the Fan Fest this year. I had the time, I had the money and I had the Code that Square Enix gave me. What I ended up getting was instant disappointment the moment I was able to access the ticket seller. I see posts and messages all over talking about how quickly the tickets sold out. I've seen messages and posts about how people bypassed the code entry entirely.

I... honestly don't have anything to say about all of this other than the fact this is a heartbreaking disappointment on Square Enix's part and how they handled the ticket sales. I waited in that dumb virtual lobby, only to get shafted the moment I have the chance to buy a ticket.

Was the last fanfest not well received? Why downgrade the size of the venue?

I would suggest maybe have it in some other states sometime. I live in Oregon and Las Vegas is just to far to go to one of these.

Last Fanfest was a mess, but the venue size is alright. Apparently they can hold 20k across the different rooms, but that was hearsay.

Make noise. This is unacceptable

Server limitations, I'm sure. /s

Either 1) they somehow think that allowing people to buy the mount and minion reduced the # who would want to attend, or 2) it's simply money. They don't care who gets to go, and it's cheaper for them to have a smaller venue. (Their venue of choice could be booked already, but that's such a lame excuse.)
