Oh pleeze?
Dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them’s making a poop, the other one’s carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge?

Next step 28 min
If burning man really what’s to fix itself just put a name on the ticket of the buyer, and checked at the gate, so no scalping on tickets, if you can’t make it return to ticketfly for full refund, then the ticket is resold at face value.

Re: How long to sell out? A little ticket day fun.
I was sitting on the queue page and clicked the green button within 1 second of it showing up and somehow I have 59 minutes until the next step. Not terribly thrilled by this. Oh now the line is paused. I don't anticipate a very productive afternoon.

I feel sorry for the Ticketfly servers. They're getting their ass whooped!

Mine went from 32 minutes to "more than an hour". How does that work?

Re: How long to sell out? A little ticket day fun.
Remember, a place in the queue is not a guarantee of tickets. That's just an estimate of how long it will take you to go from your current place in the virtual queue to the ticket transaction engine. If the supply runs out before that time... yeah.
Fingers crossed for smooth sailing now that the early line pause issue's been resolved.

bingo. I'd vote for this guess.melodiousdirge wrote:Queue will be full within 90 seconds. Ticket sales completed in 45-50 mins.
except I'd think it will take 2 to 3 hours to complete all ticket sales.

Re: How long to sell out? A little ticket day fun.
And for our friends out there, how will they know of its a sellout? Will they proceed to the next step and find "0" tickets available?trilobyte wrote:Remember, a place in the queue is not a guarantee of tickets.

Once tickets have sold out, it'll likely dump to a 'sorry there are no tickets available' page.

Just made it to 8 minutes, now back to more than an hour. Last year in and out in under 4 minutes. This could require drinking.

Re: How long to sell out? A little ticket day fun.
Alright well 50 minutes has passed, but it seems like (unless people are somehow getting into line infront of me) that the ticketing checkout engine is processing people quite slowly. Might be 2-3 hours till sellout. Mine still says more than an hour, despite being at 56 minutes nearly an hour ago.
