Just because you have the money to buy everything right away doesn't mean everyone else does.
Hopefully those who didn't have the wit to save or buy things in the right sequence will have learned from this experience. That's all we can hope for. EVE Ambulation and Avatars as a separate game - see here |

They just need to sell another 5000 tickets and then decide the winner with h+Šlmganga at reception. Another cool show for Fanfest live stream!

And it's when CCP realize modular structures would be pretty useful, not only IG but also in RL :P |

@ CCP Eterne , as some of the sharper edges who play Eve have pointed out in this thread, you may not have a lot of choices.
Except maybe this one, ensure great streaming coverage of the quality you had for the Alliance games or the Eve $10K Tourney. Though I did not actually watch the last one, I assume it was well done.
Opinions on providers are welcome. Link the sites so the Dev's and CCP can shop.

Maybe issue 500 more, but require proof of plane ticket/hotel purchase prior to the date the first 5000 sold out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTzA_xesrL8 |

Or maybe those who bought lodging and airfare before confirming they had a seat at Fanfest should suck it up, because they really have nobody but themselves to blame for their poor planning.

Your players deserve more, more so those willing to take the financial commitment to fly out to Iceland to chill with you guys.
If it's a matter of space, how about you guys take the bullet and start axing press badges to let players come instead.
I've been to Fanfest 6 times now, and every time I loved it. Don't break my heart on number 7 CCP.
Iceland has strict limits on importing nerds, CCP is already pushing the limit.....

Lol, all this wine about needeing extra tickets or having extra venues...
Its not that easy, trust me. I used to be member of small non-profit organisation that used to have once a year big event... Just few hundred people... Even thats planning, reserving location, etc.. Had to started right after we completed previous one... thats 10 -12 months beofre the event... And bigger the event, more difficult it gets to find suitable location for such...
5k - 10k people, thats would be tought even in my country, not too many places you can choose that can actually hold it... I can name 2 or 3 out of my head, but theyre all in different cities...
I would have probably come to fanfest this year otherwise, but IRL events pretty much eat all cash reserve and then some... and im not willing to swing my credit dept bigger just to get to iceland :P Maybe next year.... Who knows, next big thing is either EvEonline 15 or 20 years ;)
Maybe CCP should start planning on selling family tickets soon(tm), after all some people have kids, etc...
Have fun people, have a great stories to tell afterwards.. [Insert something funny or smart here]
Good lord has set me on path, sometimes im confused about what he wants from me. But path leads on, towards why he placed me on this wonderfull planet... |

What I don't understand about this is that If say it was a Justin Bieber concert (He's popular right?) you would be mad to book Flights,food and sleep before you got the concert ticket! MAD!!!!
The fanfest ticket was ALWAYS going to be the most scarce part of the equation and you should have known that.

Everytime I tell someone about this, they laugh. Apparently booking your flight & accomodation to Iceland BEFORE you buy the tickets for the convention which is pretty much the only reason you wanted to go there in the first place is popular. |

And so it begins....
How long before we see posts like "RL cropped up, can't go, selling tickets for cash"
Of course, no mention that the seller bought the ticket with plexes purchased tickets with 10 or 12 plexes from their ingame wallet.
Can't see any tickets selling on EBAY, yet. |

v3rtigo wrote:Anyway, I think that is beside the point - no status or waring was given. Sure, "it's the 10 year anniversary, duh it's gonna be popular" and all. But this event has never been sold out before - it being sold out in February was not expected. And I suspect that's also why CCP fumbled the announcement.
I'll just emphasize this again for the people rambling about planning - that's not the point, is it? We're recruiting and stuff. |

Just including the text from this news item here: http://community.eveonline.com/news/newsFromEve.asp?newsTitle=fanfest-is-now-sol
"With EVE Fanfest being sold out, we realize that those unable to get tickets are going to be disappointed or even in a difficult spot. Those who have already booked flights and hotels, and can provide proof that those flights were booked before the close of Fanfest ticket sales, should contact [email protected]."

CCP does a lot of things well, but we all know advance warning/communication is their weak spot. However, coming up with solutions to problems is a strength, so I have faith they'll figure something out :) We shall see in the coming days.
