All good, guys - completely understandable sentiment and I agree it could have been handled better. Still feeling done dirty a bit that nobody on the official Warframe site at the advertised time had even a chance at getting anything other than Collector or GA.

They announced the time of the ticket sales during the Devstream at the end of Feb. A more pressing issue is that it wouldn't have mattered if you'd known as the tickets weren't purchasable through the Warframe website until 4mins after 11am EST and by that point all of the people with insider knowledge of the actual portal being Eventbrite had bought tickets already and they were sold out.

Ticketmaster are shockingly bad, yep. 😅 I flicked DE's events person a message when it happened saying it looked like the URL had been leaked internally, in all likelihood it was just insider knowledge/educated guesses as you say. I'd hope with it being raised it's something they keep in mind for 2025 - it's also very late for those of us overseas when we need to book international flights and their prices go up. They're non-refundable so you need to have the event ticket secured to know you're actually going first. Oh and your steps taken prior to purchase is relatable - 11am EST is 4am Good Friday for those of us in NZ, so we'd set alarms to get up early and I'd actually gone to the extent of entering my payment information on the Warframe storefront and talking to my bank to green flag their merchant service so a large sum purchase at 4am on a public holiday didn't trigger fraud alarm bells. Little did I know it wasn't even being handled by them and would just be an Eventbrite thing. 🤦

First TennoCon I'll be able to attend and myself and a few others were sat on the Warframe site refreshing to grab at least VIP when the sales went live. The buttons remained "Coming Soon" until four minutes past the hour and were showing as "SOLD OUT" on Legendary by two minutes past - before you could even click 'Buy'. VIP were then allowing you to select them and a quantity but as soon as you clicked to pay it said they were 'Unavailable'. Very clear that some people had access to the Eventbrite link prior and jumped straight on to snap them up. It's highly disappointing, I was hoping for a fair chance at trying for a Legendary ticket. It'll still be nice to go but it's not cool that ticket sales are set up in a way that people can game the system and deprive others of a chance.

Hmmm... are you sure? Or just it just not affect existing inbox messages so those of us who did it prior to the patch are out of luck? Screengrab: https://imgur.com/a/zO9a5yP
