Ok so while I agree that the codes and URL snafus were handled woefully inadequately... I'm sorry, but 1) we have no idea how many legitimate players got tickets, and therefore there is still the chance that there really was just an explosion of interest (my con jumped from 8k to 12k in one year, which we were completely unprepared for). 2) "It's popular so if people who wanted to go can't, then they should cancel it"? Wow. Can you imagine what would happen if... I don't know... Every single mega-popular recording artist or comedian followed that mindset? If SDCC, NYCCC, Blizzcon, etc. all decided to cancel simply because there was more interest than availability? That's not how the world works. Popular events sell out. This isn't a digital world in which they can work to provide space and items for everyone.
