Wait, so all the sudden everyone is giving up because SE made this official statements? Comon ppl, you all try harder when it gets to End contents! why give up now?
Made more tickets available this year? by reducing the cap from Paris to Rio? how many was available anyways? The ticket vendor now admits they've encountered a technical issue at the time of sale and therefore this chaos happened.
It's not a matter of how many go through or not. Doesn't care if it was 5 ppl or 1000 ppl. what matter is that people without the code was able to purchase the ticket and many people with the code couldn't.
Don't let SE and showclix get away from this. then please release that "few" that got through. I don't know what the odds are, but at least give us a chance.
