They bothered to make a splash screen with a "sold out" message. If they could legally cram more people into the venue, they would have made a "hey, we found 500 more tickets in CCP Guard's top drawer" screen instead, and proceed to sell them. So whoever didn't buy their tickets quickly enough, will have to wait until 2014.

They can't sell any more tickets than the venue can legally hold (Yes, there are laws that cover this sort of thing). 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.

Those extra tickets would've been assigned before tickets were available to the public. If you buy a ticket from someone who no longer wants theirs, it's a scam. The ticket is tied to the name of the original buyer & you have to produce both the confirmation number & photo ID.

And we can't come, because tickets are sold out. Think this epitomizes the phrase "welp".

If you want to blame someone it's CCP but I'd hazard a guess the venue is the biggest public space available.

Selling out the largest venue in the country for an amazing party = failing at event planning C/D? what happened to the idea of renting both harpa and the old convention center, i seem to remember someone talking about that at last years fanfest, i'm almost sure it was CCP's fearless leader Hilmar. would have cost little of nothing to run a bus between the venues, i'm sure all wouldn't have minded paying a small fee to shuttle back and forward. being the 10th anniversary an all.
Sakura Nihil Selective Pressure Rote Kapelle 132	Posted - 2013.02.17 03:31:00 - [34] - Quote I could see that, maybe next year once DUST has gone live, if they'd have a simultaneous FanFest with us. However, that's a pretty decent distance to travel between sites, and you run the risk of possibly overbooking accomodations if the 11th Anniversary is substantially lower in turnout than this year. A better idea, if possible, is book another venue close to Harpa, to allow better accessibility by walking, plus then everyone's closer to hotels, bars, etc. I remember walking from the convention center back to Nonni's once or twice, that was a hefty half hour of walking or so.

Or you could have bought tickets when the event was announced if you wanted to go that badly.

Mara Rinn Cosmic Goo Convertor Cosmic Consortium 3169	Posted - 2013.03.15 01:37:00 - [43] - Quote LazyWren wrote: Anyone who booked hotels and flights before tickets is a mong of the first order, and has more money than sense. So losing the money won't be a bad thing. There are two ways you can make arrangements: you could book event tickets first and then accommodation, or you could book accommodation first and then event tickets. There is a catch: event tickets are often sold as little as six months in advance. Accommodation on the other hand can be booked a year in advance, and the price rises faster as you get closer to the desired date. Thus you might be able to book a luxury apartment for Gé¼400 for the entire week if you book 12 months ahead of time, while a one-star hotel room booked a week before the event will cost you the same amount. My partner and I booked our accommodation within a few hours of CCP announcing the actual dates for FanFest (which was long before the FanFest tickets were available for purchase). Now I will be the first to admit that leaving your FanFest ticket bookings till three or four months after they were put up for sale is probably foolish, but there is nothing wrong with booking accommodation ahead of time as long as you purchase the event tickets as soon as they are available. If you miss out on FanFest 2013 tickets but have already booked flights and accommodation, you could always take part in the unofficial meetups through #tweetfleet on Twitter. And then there's the issue that Tippia raised: accommodation in Reykjavik during EVE Online FanFest 2013 is getting hard to find. Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players

Iceland didn't waste tax money bailing out banks so that the banks could get back to being stupid. It's worth noting that Iceland's population is about 300,000. That means an event of sufficient size to fill Harpa will involve about 0.33% of the population. Imagine if you wanted to hold an event of similar scale in New York City: you would have to find accommodation for about a million people. The largest events that New York City is capable of hosting are limited by the sizes of their stadiums, which will top out at a few hundred thousand participants. So based on your assertion the USA fails at being a country capable of hosting entertainment events. Even worse is when you realise that New York's largest stadium is MetCity Stadium at about 80-ish thousand seats, and that is actually in Noo Joysee.

Xen Solarus Inner 5phere 307	Posted - 2013.03.15 18:50:00 - [45] - Quote You should always buy the cheaper thing first, in this instance the ticket. Then if you fail to secure flights or a hotel, you've only lost a small amount of cash and can probably just sell it on to someone else. Book flights and hotels before you've got the ticket and you're left with a non-refundable fight to a hotel for nothing, not to mention looking like a fool. I found all the people that did this quite amusing when they started ranting at CCP, like it was their fault that they were so stupid. Just goes to show how awesome CCP are that they're willing to go out of their way to accommodate for them. Post with your main, like a BOSS!
