Only assumption I made was that no ticket no entry.
I even went to the lengths of setting up text blocks before registration had started. So each key stroke auto pasted in my details like address name etc. The main reasons why I thought this was necessary was because i knew it would sell out in minutes because its the largest cyber games event ever held in Australia.
The ONLY criticism I would have to say about the process is I grantee a lot of legitimate people missed out on tickets because a lot of illegitimate people took way too many tickets than they needed and that this registration event should of had a $2 or even $5 fee to weed out scalpers spamming tickets they weren't gonna use. Because of this now there will probably either be sold tickets on eBay or empty seats not filled at the event.
After sales of the tickets for $2 or $5 they should of took the $ and added it to the prize money for the winner of the tournament. Which would of added $1500($5 ticket x 300) or used the money for other great things. The money isn't important its just that the fee would of stopped a lot of scalpers stealing tickets. That's my 2c keep in mind I got my tickets I was one of the lucky ones.

Each ticket that was ordered is attached to an e-mail address and a name. I suspect people who intend on doing something like this will have used the same e-mail address for all their orders, so it's very unlikely they'll get away with it.

When the ticket gets presented at the door what happens? Do they check peoples ID's to make sure the name is correct and the same as the ticket?
