Presale Recap?

Post by vwhat » Mon Feb 06, 2017 12:01 am

I'm guessing that the presale was oversubscribed, with more people in the TicketFly "waiting room" at 11:59 a.m. than the number of tickets available. Can any one confirm that?

Any other interesting news about the presale?

I accessed the presale upwards of fifty times due to the problems I was having making payment. Each time I tried to access I was through in seconds. Felt as if I was the only person going for a ticket

I registered for the presale, but didn't end up buying tickets. As of now $990 ticket tier are sold out, but $1200 and vehicle passes are still up for grabs.

Last year, the $1,200 tickets and vehicle passes were still available until a week or so before the doors opened on Sunday.

Thanks, MrBeardy, gbus, and MeatHunter! That's the sort of information I was looking for!

I assume people who didn't register for the sale the previous week have no way to buy the as-yet-unsold $1200 tickets. Does anyone know if BM.org might reopen registration for this sale in order to sell the rest of them?
