Re: the main sale seems like a random selection or based on some other factors
Well, we will never know. Who knows what the tech goons are up to. I think a big part of it is as if you had a huge funnel with a bottom spout the size of a marble, and at the top, an infinite sized opening, you pour in 100,000 marbles out of a bucket, looking to only take the first 10,000 that pass thru the spout. Of course any marbles poured in last will not make the count. But that's a lot of last, especially if there's 20,000plus using the atomic clock. And those first marbles will go thru largely due to the order poured in, though with a funnel far more can go in all at once, they all can't come out together though. There is some shuffling and randomness to what bumps in front of another going through the process, two marbles, a thousand, poured out of the bucket together might not necessarily follow each other thru the spout. Yes, I understand, it's an internet sale tied to the atomic clock, not marbles, but it all goes through the same tubes. So getting your marble in fast is going to help, a must, definitely, but there's so much competition, and glitches. If you are looking for the fix being in, that's the tickets not in this sale. But, yeah, trying to buy in the main sale is so heartbreaking and brutal.

One small clue might be the "we were all on Zoom together". I always make certain I have absolutely nothing running on my machine when I hit the button. Nothing. I want as clear a road to the ticketing server as possible. My results? Positive.

Self fulfilling prophecy. Did this camp get DGS, this year or past years? 18 people online. Going for one ticket each and one vehicle pass for each 4 people?
