People aren't angry they missed out on tickets, they are angry that they were led to believe (whether through miscommunication or their own wrong interpretation) that tickets were not essential to being able to spectate.

Whether you assumed standing room is an option or not is irrelevant when it seems that a large majority of sc2sea thought it was. It should have been made clear that it wasn't, that is the point you missed.

Sunset, I get that some people will think as you do, but a very large number of people 'believed' that there would be standing room, myself included. In fact, just like many others, I spread this 'belief' far and wide to make sure as many sc2 nerds came and watched wcs. So not only did I believe something incorrectly I passed it on to others who may have missed out because they didn't think lining up at 9am on the dot was an urgency.
Now I can't say for sure where I came to this belief that there would be 300 seats + standing room, but I know it was spread by many people, including Chadman and others. I did not watch the podcast.
I feel sorry for those who feel the miscommunication cost them a chance of seeing ******* TASTOSIS. I'm not even the biggest sc2 fan and I'm already excited.

Simply put. I feel their pain.

I think it's a great idea...



if you want to get seriously hurt at the venue.

EDIT: THIS POST GOT NINJA MOVED. IT WAS REGARDING THE SCALPING OF TICKETS FROM XORMENTORS POST. SOME GUY WAS GONNA SELL HIS SPARES FOR $30 OUTSIDE THE VENUE.

	JoFritzMD:	what's a great idea infeza? Stop being so cryptic.
	Maynarde:	^ This is in response to Xormentors post I moved threads.

[Maynarde]

Merged Xormentors thread OP into this one along with inFeZa's post, glitched out there - sorry.

Well this has been a disaster...

Looks like I won't be going then, thank god I didn't book flights. 9am was extremely hard to get to given school starts at 8:55 and assembly goes on to 9:10, I checked at the end of assembly and they were gone
Also the miscommunication regarding the age restrictions in hindsight was kind of bad, all I did was call up the place and they told me it was for all ages with wristbands, did anyone even contact the venue regarding the age limit after my blog?

Have fun to all who made it, I feel we have a lot to learn from this event, taking it in our stride as we continue to help eSports grow!

PS. If even one person with a ticket doesn't end up going the amount of disappoint will be over 9000.

Dox:

"Under our licence we are not able to sell or provide alcohol whilst minors are on the premises." was the response

@ Mafia, wouldn't an iaguz 2.0 be a child of mine and not a brother? I have many brothers, where do the numbers end?! Though, amusingly, in the rare instances that my brother is playing a game with me or something he goes by the handle Zugai. If I can get him to WCS so there's no confusion just call him Josh.

Coincidently you are Iaguz 3.0, i'll let you speculate which of your brothers is 1.0.

This was actually the result of people contacting the venue.

Hmm, not sure what you're getting at with this comment but I agree...I think.

@Dox hmm that response is annoying and vague, I guess my e-mail was a bit more pushy for clarification due to the nature of the event. Doing a great job man, fight through the hate and make it the best event you can, keep up the good work.

[Termite]

ok so do you need a ticket to get in or can you stand and watch?? can tickets sold out in a matter of seconds!!!

	MezjE:	Read the previous posts :P No ticket, no entry.
	Dingobloo:	You need a ticket.

Imagine the forum rage that would have followed.

[jbhewitt]

Big day! Couple of notes... we will be sending out confirmation emails to all ticket holders in the next few weeks to confirm they're able to come to the event.

For those ticket holders who won't be able to come we will be re-issuing these tickets a week out from the event.

Just wanted to touch on scalping.

We will be checking tickets at the door to verify who you are.

Scalped tickets won't be allowed in.

So what happens when I have reserved 2 tickets for myself and a friend - does he get in?

I think when you confirm the tickets - you put down the names to the two people that will be using them..

I pm'd Dox about this and he said that as long as the person whose name is on the tickets is there to give authority it shouldn't be a problem.

[x5_dot]

Maybe we should let the ACL authorities clear this up too... just in case we make asses of ourselves

[jbhewitt]

Just need the person who got the original tickets to collect them. We'll be making a post later on detailing it all for ticket holders.
