That was stressful, but I'm glad to have my tickets.

They sold out in two minutes! That's just crazy.

Wow, I have to work for 15 minutes and I miss out? Bummer!

I wonder if these are all going to get scalped now, or what?

You had to put a name/email address in for the guest on each ticket, so they are at least loosely tied to a person. I imagine something can be worked out if the person on the ticket cannot make it, but I really doubt scalping is going to be that widespread. It was also limited to two tickets per-transaction and I doubt many people could do it quick enough to get through twice in two minutes...

I was driving between plants and pulled into the parking lot and was furiously refreshing my mobile browser, worried that I would miss out. No way I' scalping this, though the one I bought for Sprague11....

I just tried again out of desperation and I got two tickets.

Maybe there was just a bug that stopped tickets being sold for a bit?

Someone didn't complete a sale maybe, or a recognized violation of two ticket policy? Congrats either way!

120 in 3 minutes is nothing compared to FOBaB selling 2,200 in 4!

it's letting me buy more ticket now.... hope it's not broken and overselling

It's likely just tickets from sales that were started but never completed. When you start a transaction on a ticket website your tickets are usually reserved for a set period of time, and if you don't complete the transaction they are released for sale again.
