I've tried three times and finally got one, it does take a strategy just like it does when you want tickets for a popular concert or event. It's like camping out the night before and I think that is the intent of the Subeta Team, to simulate that feel of anticipation for the event. So, have the page open to the VIP window in the Cash Shop and click 'refresh' a second or two before the clock hits 11:15 ( or whatever the announced time of sale is supposed to be ). I practiced the refresh several times to get a feel for how long it took to actually refresh in the event that there was lag and such. They were gone in 20 seconds. Good luck, you can do it.
"not a sore loser just pissed and feeling bitchy"
Or all three.
I knew when it was, but I rather spend my time with my dad going yard sale than this. :) I know I'm not going to get it because my silly slow computer :P Congrats to the one who got it!
Knowing the time doesn't help when it's always when I'm at work or asleep. Forget it, will just save my CSC and use the regular ticket.
Kind of makes me happy I have no CSC. No restock drama here :)
okay went and spent 21 million on one, now what do I do with it?
does it get me in somewhere or give me a prize?
A bit of humour to add to the whole thing. I was severely lucky to have been able to have nabbed a ticket. I was just happy to have seen the tickets in the CS at the time they came out. If I had missed, then I would have missed. Just seeing them in there really made them feel "real" to me.
Yes, they were in there. Yes, they stocked at exactly 11:15:00. Yes, there were exactly 150 tickets for sale.
I said and someone else said, too - when you are made aware of the time that the tickets will be on sale ahead of time in the news, don't wait for the news post the day after announcing that there are tickets in the CS!!! It'll be too late then. Camp out in the CS and keep refreshing close to the time that they're due to stock. That will ensure you the best chance to try and get one.
I hope this helps...and to help lighten the situation a bit :3
Actually, they've said that there will be a VIP section in the forums.
Meh...if all the ticket does is give the extra swag I don't mind how fast they're going. I only wanted one item and it's selling for cheap. Got a regular pass in the TS.
It makes me laugh at how nasty people are making themselves look in comments...I've seen a different side to so many people throughout this whole thing.
I hope everyone who still needs a ticket is able to get one ❤
another set gone fast ...I am not going to buy one from a ticket scalper ..hopefully I get one next time :(
It makes me laugh at how dumb people are being because they're too slow. It's your own fault. :)
My bad...I forgot :p
yes I see it now :[ Like I said just feeling bitchy today lol
Grrr.....
Didn't get one again, couldn't care less. Are things a bit fishy, who cares? It's all only pixels anyway, not exactly gonna get out there and have fun walking around, eating real food, going on rides, etc. etc. at a real carnival and come home exhausted.
I'm glad I didn't know ;) I have a ticket already and part of me wants another but I don't want to get more than I need ;) so I'm glad for others who did get to get them that need them :)
I don't really see what's fishy about a public site announcement that there would be a restock at a set time and then people actually restocking the said tickets at the said set time.
LOL @ at the person claiming the site is being fishy. I still think this is a dumb idea, but I got my ticket just the same.

Hey, guess what? More VIP tickets are up for sale! And I hear there will be another 150 available tomorrow, July 11th, at 11:15am. (...)
http://subeta.net/news/14791 spoiler As a show of good faith, I heard that on July 8th, 150 will be released at 11:15pm. Better get your tents set up.[/spoiler]
Well, keep your eyes on the news, at least one more restock with the time released will happen. Good luck ^^
well, they'd certainly make more cash that way, , but it would kind of eliminate the whole VIP part of it (except that it would still restrict things to those willing to spend real money on this game)
- Did you read the news? Because there was definitely a post about this restock yesterday.
And to those complaining about it, when Elwood releases a time, be in the page at least 1 minute before just to be sure that you'll not lose; I mean, everybody knows the time of the restock, so a lot of people will be in the right page already. Don't wait to the news to pop up.
I never even seen a time that it would restock and with 1000 players online come on only 125
not a sore loser just pissed and feeling bitchy
Oh right, time zones xP I forgot about time zones. XD Not that it would have mattered. Dang that stuff sells quick!
they should just have them in the cs so everyone can go
It wasn't realeased before the 15th minute. I know 'cause I was refreshing every 2 or 3 seconds and when I refreshed at 11:15:00 there were no tickets, and at 11:15:02 I refreshed again and there were 137 left, when I bought mine.

No, there will be a VIP-only lounge during the event. But other than that and the items, nothing else has been announced.
I overslept. Should have set an alarm xD
those folks who got a ticket could stand to be less jerky to those folks who are upset for not getting gone - no one likes a sore winner
I clicked as soon as I saw the "buy" button, which was 2 seconds after 11:15 and they were already gone. Seriously? Oh well, didn't need to spend the CSC anyway.
There was insane lag for me and I'm not being funny but it's not my computer as it's fine on other sites, lol.
Wow, I clicked the second I saw the news banner, and they were gone!
such bs cant even get 1 when I am on and it shows restocked and none left
I will spend real cash when high score rewards are reinstated!
We were all refreshing ahead of time because Elwood already gave us the time of this restock. There's nothing fishy about that. :P
Woke up randomly, look at time. HOLY SHIT ITS 8:14. Rush to grab my phone. I managed to snatch a ticket /o/ It's going to be a good day ovo
Yaaaay for no lag and yay for restocks at all different times! I was able to grab a few! Thank you Subeta! ;)
Managed to get mine, but they went really, really fast. Good luck to all of you who still try to get one.
No, it is NOT fishy. There were 150 released and over 1000 people online at the time. Not everyone is going to get one. They did stock, but they were gone in 20 seconds because everyone was trying to buy them. I'm sorry if you weren't fast enough, but yes they are difficult to get. Sorry.
I'm surprised the site didn't lag up this time.. It was actually easy to get a ticket. I don't know what all this fuss is about. If you're patient, and don't complain, I'm sure you'll get one. All you have to do is keep trying. Congratulations to those who got a ticket this time. :) If not, like I said, I'm sure there will be more releases, just be patient.
To those of you saying you got it early: you didn't, I promise. The clock on Subeta can lag if you have other windows open, make sure to have a new window open that you're still browsing with to confirm. That's what I've done when posting these, to make sure they are EXACTLY on time.
Finally got one! I'm happy now! :)
When the time is announced, don't bother waiting for the post, because everyone else is anticipating it and refreshing the minutes before. If it's not announced, unless you refresh every 5 min anyway, then you usually have to wait for the post.
Woo! Got a spare for a friend who just couldn't seem to catch it!♥
Hmm...gone as soon as the news was posted. Does this not seem fishy to anyone?
The only difference between regular and VIP tickets are the items you get, right?
Yay, finally got one. Thank you Subeta! Now I can go on with my weekend.... (I used my computer directly wired to the internet this time and did not get as much lag as I do on the wireless connection)
My tip to all of you - make note of the time that they're going to be stocked and then be in the CS at that time instead of waiting for the news post to come up
Guys, guys. Of course the ones that are announced beforehand are going to sell out faster because people will be waiting for it. You have to be super fast, if you show up a minute or so late you will not get one. Sorry, but that's how it is.
lol What would we do with out you Elwood. No ticket for me yet again, I had to work. ;)
