Just a quick response to this, and a formal response via live stream or video tomorrow night.

Venue: This was organised back in March/April. I have been working on this project since January when we were asked to pitch for it. Juggling venue decisions is a HUGE undertaking in itself. After winning the project I sought out 6-7 venues in Sydney (including multiple site visits, photos & planning). There is a LOT to juggle. Between ACL & Blizzard, we had to negotiate the calendars of GSL, MLG, DreamHack and other nationals. This was all just to find dates! Then finding a suitable venue that can accommodate those dates among many other considerations is a huge battle.

There was no possible way to foresee that Tastosis would sign on (day before ACL Melbourne we found out). We were initially worried that we would get that kind of response, as we get approximately 30 spectators at an ACL event.

As I said, will make a formal response and ACTION PLAN for this situation by tomorrow evening.

Im just glad I managed to get a couple of tickets. Flights and Acom are booked from NZ, ready to roll!

[ACL VaNzR]

Hey guys, I realise a lot of people are waiting on further response from me. I can tell you this:

- ACL organisers of this event have met with Blizzard this evening
- ACL has spoken with a 3rd party to help accommodate 'left out' SC2 fans
- We are waiting on concrete information before announcing anything (to make sure we can make it eventuate)
- All IDs will be checked with tickets. A ticket holder can only retain 1 individual ticket, plus 1 guest
- Scalping will not be tolerated and obviously names will not match up on ID check
- A plan to accommodate for 'no-shows' & also provide giveaway tickets will be announced by Thursday night

Long story short: There will be opportunities for more members of the public to gain access to this event. For those that cannot make it, we are trying to ensure there is an experience that will substitute as best as possible for the situation.

I wish I had more information to give people tonight, but unfortunately I don't. Hopefully this will address some issues at least, and look out for more word from me soon.

What should the people do that grabbed surplus tickets or for some reason have a ticket they are no longer using?

Examples
- if someone grabbed 4 tickets, 1 for themselves and 3 for mates and legitimately want them/are going
- if someone greedily grabbed 4 tickets but only need 1 for themselves and dont need the rest


(before someone asks, no i only have 1 myself)

Per transaction, yes. But you could process unlimited transactions. Some people managed to get nearly a dozen.

That's just jeranism :<

Edit: i mean for the purpose of scalping

Quick Comments

	Asrathiel:	Some people were grabbing them for groups of friends too
	breadfan:	I imagine in the case of like a group of clanmates, one guy might have organised all tickets
	fray`Alpha:	Yeah I ordered tickets for a group of 6 of us, because I was the only one available to get on a computer at that time

The organizes are trying to stamp out anyone who bought more than 2 tickets 1 for yourself 1 for a friend. All other transactions would been seen as dodgy. This gives other people who missed out a chance to get tickets.

My question is If you registered multiple tickets for friends under the one name e.g. 12 tickets registered to hag scalper, wouldn't it be easy to check duplicate named tickets and reissue those as well, rather than relying on email confirmation. Otherwise people with multiple emails can confirm multiple tickets when they all the duplicate names.

[Cordance]

Should we look at making ACL VaNzR post its own thread so people dont miss out. This news post is starting to become old news. This is kind of very important information for a lot of people.
I hope these alternatives pan out. Im guessing they are going to need a new set of volunteers to help out with this as well. Given most of your helpers are going to be at the main event. Although my plans to travel to Sydney at this point have stopped if/when I resume them I will look into helping out if I can.

Pretty sure the details will appear on the ACL site, i'll advertise the hell out of it when it's up. People won't miss out.

@UHF

We will be emailing all ticket holders closer to the event to confirm that they can all make it to the event.

Ticket holders can let us know if they can no longer make it or have surplus tickets. We'll then re-issue the free'd up tickets.

Below outlines further ticket plans and information that both current ticket holders and people seeking tickets should be aware of.
