[FSPA] Buying tickets for Pinburgh - Urgent

[Kevin Stone]

And yet a 5 grouper got VIP tickets, and I know of no one single ticket person that got one.  5 group priority might be legit.

When I was trying to get a VIP ticket I checked the request headers and Showclix and I had the same time. :)  Didn't help.

PSA:  Don't forget to also buy your Replay FX ticket or you'll look clueless like me when you roll up to the desk to check in without a ticket. :>

I think many people didn’t realize that there is not a standard clock out there, your phone isn’t the same as ShowClix server time which was probably set by some admin using his/her phone and not a stratum time server, so everything went on sale prior to someone’s phone that said 12:00.  Always start 2 minutes early.

I was on my phone driving down the Fairfax County Parkway and I got in.  Thankfully somebody else had my info so I immediately released the tix in my cart.  Keeping with the spirit of things though I bought my Replay pass & Intergalactic entry while driving.  Don't try this at home. :)

I love the eBay idea.  Maybe 20 entries or a small percentage.  Donate the proceeds to charity.  Complain about what you spent then buy a better data plan for your phone for next year.

Next time you need to book it while on a ride.
