Got my ticket, too!

[dipsofjazz]

WHOO HOO! (Double WhooHoo! (on roomie’s behalf!) Two charmed passes coming right up! (Now all I have to do is start planning the Scotland part of my May holiday… any suggestions, Bev?)

Woohoo! You come up to Edinburgh to check out the guys in kilts.

But OMG…. Right after I got to the end of the registration payment part and had finished printing the two pages – my ‘Net connection died! (That truck a few miles up the road must not have been phone company then!) I’d have died if it’d been 2 minutes earlier!! It’s been spotty ever since, but I did manage to get back in and print the e-mail confirms that were sent. Well, guess it’s trying to tell me get back to work, huh?!

Congrats to everyone! ((((ALL))))

My PC died on me this morning. It can't find Windows! *kicks pc in its CPU*
I had to run around in a panic trying to connect my laptop to my broadband. I had to phone the tech. guys for help, but we eventually got it up and running. Phew!

Glad your connection held out just in time.

*Bounces*

Ooooh *Bounces Again*

Sorry I'm a little excited

Thank You so so much to the G4

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in May

*Watches significant quantity of cash sail into the nether*... yay!

Got stuck on the countries because I was booking for someone else too and Germany wasn't in the right alphabetical spot lol.

lol I had that trouble too. It insisted on migrating one of my people across the Atlantic and I couldn't budge it, but I think that's a minor thing that I can sort when the dust settles. The rest of her address in-put ok.

Charmed pass!!!

*blissful sigh*

Hmmmm... men in kilts on a windy day..... Hmmmmmmm...

LOL! Thanks! I was surfing while I ate lunch and the connection was fine (even though the memory of the guy sitting next to his truck under an umbrella with all kinds of cable in front of him 3 miles up the road was lurking in the back of my mind...) But oh... if it had given me the "Cannot find server" screen of death in the middle of registering.... I betcha you'd've heard me screaming even over on that side of the big pond!

But all's well that ends well.

(And sorry to hear about your PC... ) (Good thing about the lappie though. 'Cause then it probably would've been me hearing your screams!)

errrrr yes kind of

[PengYn]

PengYn put those flyers down!

How did you know!? lol

[rderoch]

Don't they have to sort through the orders to confirm Charmed passes? And after the limit is reached everyone else is on a waiting list? Don't want to get my hope up too much if that's the case.

[Skydiver]

you mean HYPER bunnies on acid

[antoa]

Don't they have to sort through the orders to confirm Charmed passes? And after the limit is reached everyone else is on a waiting list? Don't want to get my hope up too much if that's the case.

From what I understood, once the preset limit was reached, the option wouldn't be available, so if you were confirmed for Charmed, then you got charmed. But they also had the online limit lower than the actual limit in case of technical difficulties, so some who didn't get a confirmed charmed pass right away would be put on a waiting list and still might get one.

Did that make any sense?

[scarimor]

From what I understood, once the preset limit was reached, the option wouldn't be available, so if you were confirmed for Charmed, then you got charmed.

And charged for it, so that makes sense. It says first come first served for Charmed.

[Skydiver]

bacially....OK, I'M MAKING UP NUMBERS HERE


Let's say there were 100 charmed passes. Online, it'd only sell, let's say 90, holding a few in reserve until after the dust clears.

ANd remember, there is also a 7 day grace period for cancellations. So if two people, say Fred and Ted are each ordering, but fred doesn't realize that ted is ordering for him and ted doesn't realize that fred ordered for him, once those two talk, one of them can cancel thier order within 7 days adn face no penalty, thus freeing up 2 more tickets

So, if folks that wanted a charmed pass didn't get one, don't despair. You've got 6+ months of dust settling, people cancelling and the like to free up some
