Vegas FFXIV Fan Fest: So how close are we to throwing down money for them tickets?

[Bayohne]

I know SE is horrifically vague when it comes to their explanations, but I would be very surprised if there is only going to be a total of 1,800 tickets. The way I interpreted it, is only 1,800 tickets are available for early access purchase on July 8th, and then general tickets can be purchased on the 15th. The July 8th availability will only be able to be bought by active players as of June 26th, so anyone who might be interested in this fan fest (because there are plenty of FF fans that may not necessarily play FFXIV) but doesn't subscribe to the game won't be able to buy until July 15th.

This is correct. The advance access tickets for active players is limited to 1,800 tickets, but that is not the total number of tickets available for the show.
That is just the amount set aside and available to our active players first.

But then it says "tickets will sell out fast!!", so who knows. Some clarity would be nice, but I'm sure we won't get it. I just find it hard to believe that in Vegas, where there are tens of thousands of tourists at any given time, that they would limit this whole festival to under 2,000 people. 2,000 sounds like a lot, but it really isn't.

Your pessimism regarding a reply wounds me... As for tickets selling out fast, that is referring to both blocks of tickets. It's always good to be prepared for that possibility!

If most others in this forum were like you, this would be a happy place.

Wow, well thank you very much!

I realize that the community reps can't answer every single question, or clarify every little nuance that the general public are unclear of so I was needlessly pessimistic about receiving anything here. I was truly pleased to see such a quick clarification by Bayohne about the state of the tickets. I was also happy to be proved wrong!

At least about the response from a rep....apparently I was dead-on with my interpretation of the ticket amounts lol.
