FFXIV FanFest Tickets Are A Disaster This Year

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

You needed an active sub for 90 days in order to enter the lottery for 2 tickets. I'm not sure scalping from the lottery is going to be that prevalent. Once the tickets go up for live sale though sure.

In general though, do you have a better suggestion for selling tickets for an event with far more demand than availability?

Names should not be able to just be written in for lotto tickets. It should be forced to match the name on the SE account for the primary ticket.



No changes. And they should have done another lotto rather than General sales.

It's like you didn't read my first sentence at all.
Only people who had an active sub could enter the lottery anyway, maximum 2 tickets. There's no major scalping operation underway here.
What my friends and I did, was we all entered for 2 tickets hoping that if any of us won, we could share the tickets out to get as many of us in as possible. And if by sheer luck we all won and had too many tickets, well it would only make sense to give the extra ones away to other players.
That wouldn't be possible if your 2 tickets were both only in your name... not to mention how stupid it would be to have 2 tickets that only one person could use.

It's like you didn't read what I said at all. I said the primary ticket. Not both. Many people gave their codes away to others after getting them. The primary ticket holder is the one who has to pick them up.
