or the people with extra tickets arent blabbing about it.... the ones without them are like HOLY SHIT MAN, LISTEN TO ME LARRY HARVEY IM SUPER PISSED!!! self selection biases the polls.... there aint no way to find any patterns in any of this with the scanty information available I just think it's w...

Nah, they said all 40k tickets were sold.

I'm starting to wonder if someone shouldn't be kicking the tires on the old ticket database to make sure it actually released everything. Otherwise we apparently had twice as many people trying to go this year? Doesn't that seem unlikely to anyone else?

But that still doesn't really make any sense.

So they had 50k tickets last year and all these people successfully went, but they are down to half that this year, a lot of camps seem to be at way less than half. So there are at least twice as many people trying to go? I don't believe that at all.
