But this event goes for roughly 12 hours each day...and I'm sure not everyone will want to get there at 11am. What's the cut-off time for people with tickets to get there? I don't think this is viable

A lot of you have actually gone full retard, for lack of a better expression.

You know what? I missed out on tickets to see Tool a while back. I was sad as ****. I wanted to go so badly. My BROTHER got tickets. I got up early and set an alarm and went online and bam, no tickets left. All sold out. And I can guarantee you, I was mad as ****, but not to the stupid extent some of you are going to. Be mad, but don't blame organisers.

I was lucky enough to get tickets to WCS. I set my alarm and I got them.
It was all over Twitter you needed to book tickets.

I did not assume there was standing room and I watched the same ******* podcast as the rest of you.

The fact is a 300-seat venue is a stretch to fill without Tastosis - that's a sad reality in itself. I think organisers booking a 300-seat venue, considering they didn't know Tastosis would be able to come at the time, is a sound business decision.

Quite frankly, the reaction as a whole to this AMAZING THING THAT IS HAPPENING FOR US AS A COUNTRY is ******* embarrassing. It's all about egos and tantrums and god help us if Blizzard catches on that this is the reaction they get for contributing to something incredible for our community.

Just stop behaving like children for one second, think about what you say before you say it.
No-one should expect special treatment.
This is an amazing thing that is happening to us. Stop ruining it.

Whether or not you set your alarm because you're "not an idiot", if 3000 people woke up early to get tickets, 2700 are still going without. It's all a bit of a shame really. Quite glad I never got around to booking flights.

How have I missed the point? I said I watched the same podcast as you guys did and I never assumed standing room was an option. I heard the same stuff Dox said as you. I do not feel lied to. I do not feel like inadequate information was conveyed. It was conveyed, over and over, that tickets would need to be booked because of venue capacity. Tell me what I'm missing.

I found out about tasteless and artosis going to Sydney only yesterday, not until around 10am this morning I found out that tickets went on sale at 9am so I rushed to the site and found they were sold out and was REALLY bummed out.

I then saw a post from ACL on facebook saying for those who missed out they would be posting something soon. Naturally because of how much I want to go to this event I was watching the page like a hawk and saw this post and was really disgusted. Not only because of how un-fare it is as only 300 were available and wouldn’t even be a plausible option for someone living in another state (not sure if I would try getting it from the person or not if I lived in Sydney or not but that’s not the issue) or that eSports is trying to get a good name for itself and this shit is already happening at the first major thing we have in Australia.

ACL deleted the post in like a minute or so and I did have a feeling about it, I just think that this needs to be out there for people to know. I blacked out the name myself as I assume he might get a lot of upset messages through Facebook or something which I don’t think is helping anyone.

So whats everyone elses opinion on this? This is also my first post on SC2SEA 

[toasti0]

two lessons learned so far

1. Assumptions make an arse out of u and me

For those who bought tickets and accom before getting tickets to the event.

2. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

For everything else there's MasterCard.
