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.

I pre-organized with 3 friends that I'd get up early and grab 4 tickets for Sunday in hopes we could get seating together. I don't know exactly how seats are working in conjunciton with tickets, but is that likely to be a possibilty? I did manage to get the tickets, I just want to know if it's free-roam seating or assigned to each ticket.

[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.

But did you know that you need one? I just didn't even try because I had stuff to do at work and believed the information from yourself and dox and others about how there was standing room available.

If I was there and tried to get one with everyone else, I'd be bummed, but it wouldn't be a big deal. I'm doing my best to still try and find a way to go, I'm just annoyed at the misinformation that was spread around, that's all.

holy **** JUST SHUT UP ALREADY.

EDIT: Nearly 15 posts in this thread today and all of them deliver the same message. We get it. You're annoyed. You're disappointed. You can stop posting now.

I'm just saying, if I'd known there was nothing without a ticket I'd have carved it into my ******* arm to make sure I remembered so I could go see Tastosis... (source)

So, I didn't know you needed tickets. My brother and girlfriend both miss out as far as I'm aware.

I won't say much now, hopefully there's a podcast on wednesday.

Alike anything I am sure both ACL staff/volunteers and Blizzard reps and the like, as well as the venue, are doing their best to accommodate the obvious overpopulation of interest in whatever means are legally acceptable.

I have nothing to add to this thread, in fact I don't really think anybody does except for the said people above who are the only people really with the current and future answers.

People are understandably going to be frustrated/concerned/disappointed and generally a lot will be in the wrong frame of mind to make constructive comments. It is important people aren't suppressed from expressing their thoughts as it all is valuable feedback however equally everything needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

I personally did not get tickets but that doesn't give me the right to take my anger out on someone else be it their fault or not. In the mean time it's best to brainstorm ideas of how to make it work as best as possible. Whether there is somewhere after the event where Tastosis can make an appearance even for 5 minutes so people at least get that experience if they miss out on the live event within the venue. Or whether a barcraft is the only feasible option. Or something else I haven't thought about in the 10 seconds I did then.

Regardless if you can get into the venue or not, it's going to be a great weekend for esports and SEA. Yes flying interstate myself won't be a cheap trip but if I can spend a weekend with friends I have met and will meet at WCS, and share the hype and energy that comes with such an event - even if it is only at an after party it is something that cannot be replaced elsewhere.

Dox, JB, everybody involved hats of to how far this has come so far - to even get Tastosis is something people are quick to forget. I trust you will do what you humanly can. Do know that amongst all this concern and frustration fundamentally there is a lot of love and appreciation for what you guys do.

See you on the other side.

EDIT: @Dox thankyou for clarifying props to them!

Ok i seemed to miss a giant shitstorm and i feel for everyone who missed out but i have a question. Do the players from the Aus final that don't get top 6 to qualify for the Oceania finals get a spot/ticket/seat/******* w/e for the Sunday event or do we get a 'Too bad sorry, no ticket no entry"??

Kudos to you, sir

Disappointment is still disappointment. Some people don't express it as loudly as others. This was a miscommunication that was sorely lamented, nothing more. We all know the good work the folks at ACL do.

[TAEaeron]

I have gone though and read all of these posts; whilst I can understand the frustration of the people who missed out; I think everybody needs to remember that this is massive boost for Australian eSports.

All we need to do is show everybody that eSports is on the rise.
Everybody who missed out if there is a barcraft nearby go to it; if you are at home watch the stream or have a mini-barcraft with friends; there is so much that can be done to grow eSports you don't need to be at the event.

I will be glued to the stream for the 2 days (minus one commitment that I already had)
