This is a sincere request for the people at SE to make the next batch of general tickets available to those who still hold a promo code. Many people would like to go, probably more than you planned and I can understand, it was never this much of a push to get it for fanfest for FFXI, but with this changes are needed. Please put the tickets that are going to be sold in general to active paying members of the community to ensure that as many attendees as possible who are fans and supporters of your game are able to attend. I know I for one would like to meet as many from this community as possible and I want to know that everyone who is there is there because they paid the same price for a ticket and wasnt gouged simply to show their love for this game. Please reconsider general sales and put up all thats left under the promotional codes once again.
I got my tickets please let others get theirs the same way.

Thumbs up for emphasis. A lot of loyal Legacy Players, some who've been to the FFXI Fan Fests like myself, feel genuinely cheated by this system. I was locked out within a span of 30 seconds, despite being there at 10:30am and 5:00pm PDT ...

I'm certainly not opposed to the idea as I myself haven't been able to secure a ticket yet, but I question the need for all this exclusive pre-sale business at all. Are there actually people who aren't subscribed to the game but want to pay $120 for a ticket to a fan festival for a game they don't play? It seems that would be a very tiny demographic of crazy people.

Is there any evidence that the tickets that have been sold so far were sold to non-subscribers?

How to get Tickets:
1. Open 10 Tabs of the page (If buying for more than 1 person everyone should do this)
2. Input Promotion Code on all 10 Tabs and send it off.
3. Select number of tickets on the tabs that went through and click order, repeat 1 & 2 on the ones that didn't.
4. Fill out the long form with all the information on all tabs that went through
5. Start Checking Out the forms. If it goes through you can close the others, if it the doesn't send in the next form.

With this i managed to grab a ticket in the first few minutes of opening and I am pretty sure a lot of the people who got theirs went with the same method.
