Taking Bets on Ticket Site Failure

[Freyar]

Those who went to 2014's Fanfest remember how frustrating Eventbrite was along with the SURPRISE-THERE'S-VIP-TICKETS-AFTER-THE-FACT and that debacle that split more than many parties.

Who's willing to bet the new site will crunch? Sure, it seems to be catering to PAX, but.. who's got faith it'll hold and hold fairly?

I'm crossing my fingers everything goes ok.... I really want tickets. I know FFXV did their uncovered tickets through the same site, though I'm not sure if there was as big of a rush on those, or if there was any problems for that event.

Quick question for anyone who can answer. I know we have a code to use (and I know it was a different ticket site last time) but when the system timed out during the whole process... was there an issue with your code becoming invalid? just curious.... as I'm trying to prepare for anything that can go wrong tomorrow.

There were some that reported that their codes were consumed when the site failed. My hope is that it'll instead be tied to transactions instead.
