[FSPA] Buying tickets for Pinburgh - Urgent

[Carl Bayless Rutherford]

Right, I tried for VIP as well. I was refreshing like everyone else. I’m sure their code is for handling tickets to seat in an arena, so they are going to honor customers in groups so they have a better experience buying and getting tickets to events. (or more success in booking.)

Those single losers like me just have to sit in the corner, or wait until all the large blocks get assigned first so we fill in the gaps.

Always start 2 minutes early.
