(I got to the purchase window, but it said there weren't enough tickets left. I also had all my information saved as well to make the process speedy.) I'm not blaming Eventbrite either. I'm blaming SE for making the decision to work with eventbrite if it was only going to be able to upgrade 1 ticket out of how many were purchased. When using eventbrite to purchase the tickets originally, you could purchase up to 4 tickets once you did get in. Why wouldn't it be a similar method for the VIP upgrades?

    Honestly, the whole system was pretty flawed. From purchasing tickets to upgrades.

    They warned us on the official VIP Ticket Thread.

    If you read my post I said "in individual tabs." I got that we would have to select them individually, but not in the way that it ended up being.
    Edit: You know, not that this is even the point. It's still really foolish and unintuitive to set it up like this when obviously you would only have purchased multiple tickets if you were going in a group together.

    Not necessarily, quite a few people purchased several tickets that they sold on online auction to others. If you upgraded every ticket that you purchased in a single transaction. They would have upgraded those tickets they sold to others at no extra cost to their buyers but at $80 a ticket cost for themselves.

    Yes, but I do not think they were supposed to do that, so I don't look at it as something moreorless 'legal.' Anyway, what I expected is, just like when you purchased the tickets, you could choose how many out of the group you wanted to upgrade/buy. You know how when you got in, they would hold 4 tickets back when we purchased the tickets? I thought it would be similar, and then the others would go back out for people to buy. But this upgrading system was confusing since it was much different than that time. I guess it was easier for people to purchase upgrades because they weren't being held, but harder to obtain if you needed multiples?

    No, other people in this thread specifically talking about dumb things they did which hindered their ability to purchase upgrades means other people are bad planners.

    Stop trying to put your disappointed words in my mouth.
