VIP Tickets! What do you think? (NA Fan Fest)

[SaiMeiridia]

If people would like to cancel their tickets is there a way someone can pick one up Hvinire? It seems like several people do not want to be split up & I'll gladly grab a ticket off of them.

If we can't relinquish ticket make it so that we can have one "guest" or something >_> I don't want to be separated from my buddy either T.T I was only able to snag one VIP ticket

I have the same issue they do was able to get mine but not my gfs ~_~; guest would be awesome

I can't upgrade to VIP cause I have 3 tickets and can't leave my tank and the bard out. So all of us have no VIP status...one for all..all for one.

Should have passed... should have, but no.. wanted to go all out. I understand there's limited space, that doesn't bother me so much as split parties.

Not to sound mean but this was kind of to be expected when they said you had to upgrade seperately. If you were not willing to take the risk you shouldnt have tried. I was on the fence myself because I was weighing the risk and reward. Was it a stupid system? yes. That fact is undeniable, but I didnt expect them to change it in the like 18hrs before the sale started.

I'd have hoped they would have actually answered my questioning them about what happens when parties are split. Hell, they even said to send support tickets to ask about any question that wasn't covered, and I didn't even get a response yet. I expected this kind of thing might have happened, that doesn't make me any less frustrated by it.

Sorry, no.. you don't split parties. EVER like that.

Even now I still can't get an answer on this other than "Hey, sold out. You guys suck for having bought more than one ticket in the first place."

About split parties:
VIP has a separate line for getting your badge (You will all get your badges before the event, just means you have to wait for them.)
VIP gets reserved front row seating for stage events (You can always choose not to sit in the reserved seat, they can't hunt everyone down with VIP and make you sit there.)
VIP gets a signing session (Can choose not to go, but if you do your group can do other things while they wait for you.)

They did warn us in advance that the tickets will be upgraded separately. Some used a different tab for each ticket, some worked with their partners to do upgrades at same time. Once you saw you had 15min reservation, switch and work on getting another ticket to that spot before confirming.

It's upsetting that not all got upgraded. But you're all going to an event that lots of people are still upset they can't even attend and you're going together with people you know, spending the majority of the event together.

You're just telling people to not use what they paid for? That's a solution alright. : /

Nope. Warning also came on the forum, not via the FAQ nor the e-mail and repeated questions on how to ensure parties weren't split were flat out ignored.

I just hope SE uses a better vendor next time. But for now, they're stuck with this one, and I know they're in a tight place because of it. I can't really be angry about the restrictions of the system, but I can be sad that there was really no rhyme or rhythm to who obtained the VIP tickets. I think we'll all be happy with the event itself, though, and prior to the tickets going on sale, many people were speculating if it was 'worth it' or not. I can only hope we'll have an opportunity to have stuff signed WITHOUT being VIP... >_>;; Hey Yoshi, can finalists in the cosplay contest get stuff signed? (Really, I just want more motivation to finish my costume.)
