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

[Catwho]

Just wanted to add in that I also managed to get both my tickets upgraded to VIP using the "one ticket in each browser" method. I've actually helped develop similar software to what EventBrite uses, and I remembered the 15 minute grace period where you lock a ticket into a pending mode from when we got the originals.

Sorry for everyone who was unable to get them who wanted them. I hope they find a solution to allow refunds for the split groups.

Just to add. I can confirm that I spent 40 min straight from the release time trying to enter the key code and it never even responded up until there was 1 ticket left (like it just didnt work.) While I am very disappointed with the outcome, I suggest SE choose a better system moving forward.

Did you at least get the "invalid code" message? I did a dry run a little bit before, and I kept getting "Sorry, that code is not valid" when I entered it on the page that showed "Bummer!"

I also started seriously hammering 3 minutes before time, in case my clock was slow. My tickets state I got them at exactly 10:30 by EventBrite's server, but my PC clock said 10:28.
