Blizzcon + Suvega/Velani = Fail :(

[Suvega]

After many hours of refresh (on multiple computers), me and velani have been defeated by the failoc.
Unfortunetly we have plane tix and hotel room still reserved . Somehow I thought that considering last year sold out in 3 days, 50% more space, and normally blizzard doing a decent job at ticket sales, that my chances of getting a ticket with the resources we have, woudl be a little bit higher.

Anyways, if any of you lucky @#$@ happen to have 2 extra tickets, we would pay a bit for em , figure we can at least semi-trust the people on this forum

I considered trying to get tickets to later gouge them.

But that really isn't me (and I thought of it way after they sold out lol).

I have a strange feeling there will be a lot more Blizzard fans at Disney than at Blizzcon that weekend.

I don't know about last year but for Blizzcon 1 they opened up more tickets closer to the event. Of course there was the concert that year and the new tickets didn't include that and were cheaper. Which irked me since I didn't want to go anyway and would rather have had the extra $20 a ticket or whatever.

Good luck guys.

I feel your pain. I put off work on Monday just to make sure I was there to try for tickets ( cost me hundreds when I take a day off ) Then was doing the F5 all day Tuesday. No luck. I'm a tad butt hurt to say the least! But i would have been able to drive there from Phoenix. So I am sorry for you even more with the reservations you made 8(

I almost considered buying more than 1 ticket (so many characters so few polar bear mounts).. I wish I had now to help people out. After going through that I feel bad for everyone who got screwed out of tickets.

This is BS and by far unfair.

Its messed how some people have to hit like 15+nodes to get to their site oppose to others who have to hit like 3. They get theirs. But now for the people who do not live next door to blizzard, well you know what? FU. Its BS.
All my roomates last night, we tried, we got to like the input information page, site went down came back up, sold out.

I really don't think an extra 200ms latency gave people an advantage :P. There are about half a dozen people in my guild who live in CA and tried to buy tickets but failed. One even skipped our raid last night so he could stay at work till 8pm on their faster connection hoping to get tickets.

imo there had to have been a bunch of people who bought the max tickets multiple times, and plan on reselling the mounts/goody bags. hopefully blizzard figures this out and restricts people to 2-4 accounts per address/credit card, I'm sure there are folks who have bought 20+ tickets thinking they will make a ton of money. I also hope no one buys tickets on eBay, quickest way to lose your money and get scammed.

What makes me irked is the idea that we were beaten by robots.

I mean, there are NO captcha's for the actual purchasing -- just to create a Blizzard.com account. Because the ticket date was announced so early, people planning on doing this had ages to create multiple Blizzard.com accounts and set up their robots -- particularly with the spoofed morning opening.

I should've macro'ed the "enter attendee information" page into one of my keyboard macros. Maybe then I would've gotten past the endless loop of CC CVV code entries.
