Moonlight Magic Registration 2/26 - Issue? CHECK YOUR EMAIL

[Genie+]

If you are a member who got into the registration early, had issues with Membership # being recognized, then caught up in the pause and booted to the back of the line…. There is hope!

I received the message below around 11:10am.



When the pause resumed around 11:50am I had lost my spot and had to re-enter the queue.

Event was full by the time my turn came.

Apparently they kept records and have decided to acknowledge our original spot in the queue:


So there is hope! Check your email.

I didn't get the email (I didnt get in prior to the que pause), so to me that says they do have way of tracking this and you will get the tickets deserved.

So, I hope they have an idea of how many people they are talking about before promising to admit them to an event that was considered "full"(-ish) without doing this.

It sold out very quick after it was reopened. So seems like possibly quite a few tickets were held back. But yes I hope they aren't just doubling capacity over their mistake.

I think I read somewhere that early registration only fills like 10% or less of the available MM spots and then all of the other spots are saved for general registration. So, presumably, they would just have to pare back the general registration a bit.

That said, I can’t seem to remember where I read that statistic so maybe it is just completely made up.

That is good news! Both that you got in, and you did not receive this email lol.

I wonder though. We did not get to part where you request # of tickets.

I also wonder if @airjay75 will be getting HS too since they received the email.

Well, hopefully they check carefully enough to see that I do not have a resort reservation that coincides with the HS event!

My guess is that they just pulled everyone who made it through the queue prior to the pause. Then, they’ll just check to see whether the got registered or not.

I guess if you had qualifying reservations for both events, that could get a little tricky deciding which one you get.

Oh ok, I thought you had reservations during both event dates. Glad you got your tickets for TL!

They will probably give the default of 5 unless you have a room with more people registered.

We have 3ppl listed on the reservation. 5 tickets or 3 tickets - either way I’ll be very happy

I don’t know either. For some reason I figured 90% during Early, then only 10% for General, probably because the success rates of Early were usually 10 times better lol. But then again every Blue Card member qualifies for General so the competition is much more fierce, depending how many are interested.

I also thought 10% for general. Not sure why I thought that though.

And maybe I am mixing up my numbers. Entirely possible.

I’m not sure we even have a way of definitively knowing.
