Tickets are all gone for fan fest

[Svaltus]

Fan Fest is sold out in a half hour, and for those of you just now reading into this, there was an official response by a community rep.

So they did TECHNICALLY open up to us in this thread. that being said. I much rather there be a sticky on the top of the general forums, an official post on twitter, facebook and all forms of social media that they typically post to. This is the equivalent of a bunch of angry people in a meeting room, someone opens the door a little bit for a quick word, shuts it immediately, leaves, and doesn't answer any questions afterwards. I think alot of people would be at ease if they just post some very basic data such as:

amount of tickets available for sale:
amount of tickets sold during access code error:
amount of tickets sold per each minute after 12 for the sake of a trendline.

this would also back up what was already said, but thats neither here nor there because:

1. the ticket vendor was still terrible, inefficient, and failed to do the one job they were supposed to do which is manage a queue of ticket sales.

2. access codes were a bad idea because anyone can share them with anyone else, and ideally it should take an access code AND logging into the ffxiv account the access code was sent to in order to purchase a ticket.

all this aside, there seems to be alot of people claiming they have nonrefundable plane tickets and hotel rooms or something to that effect, but making no effort to organize their own little fan fest for people who couldn't aquire tickets. your still in vegas. you can complain all you want, but if your only motive for going to fan fest was merch, buy it off of ebay after its over. if it was simply to observe it, go on the live stream or whatever that they are doing. if it was for the concerts your kinda sol, but really you hear the same music when you play the game. some people just like going to events and being a part of it.

There was a survey somewhere about "if you tried to purchase ffxiv fan fest 2018 tickets, did you succeed?" and the results were about 50/50 at least concerning everyone who speaks english and could read the survey.
