Yes I agree with WarrenPeace, being able to stumble home is a plus.

If you all have room for a new guy, I'm looking for hotel reservations for myself also. Still trying to figure out which day I want to fly in...either that Friday or Saturday (depending on the availability for a CIG studio tour).

I will be there. I think the sooner I get my flight and hotel the better though.

CAN I BUY SOMEONE OUT? Just throwing this out there, but I joined Star Citizen after this Citizencon event was sold out so I'm going to miss out, but I don't want to. If anyone here for any reason can't attend and want to recoup your costs, let me know and I can buy your room and event ticket.

@sum1 I do believe that tickets are locked to people's real name so unless you get a fake of that person's ID, don't think that could happen... :(

The wife and I moved into a 2 bedroom at the beginning of July. Therefore, we have more space to host (if my wife's sanity will allow. However, we only have one, small bathroom.

That would be ludicrous if it can't change user. Super Bowl tickets cost more than these do and people give or sell those.
You can't swap these. I've confirmed it.

I got a ticket for me, but almost didn't get a ticket for my wife, and was told unequivocally by concierge support that I could not just buy one off the grey/black market for her - they would not let her in the door if it didn't have her name on it.

And that, I think, is the point. They don't want scalpers buying them all up, jacking the prices up, and then selling them to the people who really want them.

So - if you can't make it, don't buy one. If you do buy one, it's yours and you can't give it away.

True.

There are also people who already booked hotels/flights, hoping they'd get tickets, and then they didn't get tickets.

In general though, I have to say I agree with their strategy here in keeping the scalpers out.

Probably the best thing they could do to improve it is to have a waiting list of people who tried to buy them, and if people can't make it they can refund back to CIG to go to the next person in line who still wants it without any increase in price. Hopefully they add something like that in the not-too-distant future.

Well that sucks for anyone that buys and then can't make it.
Customer service has a waiting list. For anyone that can't go as soon as they let CIG know it goes to the next person on the list. The ticket did require the name that matches photo ID when they were ordered.
