That's weird.  They set up the listing so that you could get up to 6 tickets.  But in the event description they say "each person who wants to attend must sign up separately. You cannot sign up for multiple tickets."  I think there are going to be a lot of disappointed pluses.  That could be why tickets are popping back up.  They might be cancelling the pluses.

Yeah they said in their webcast last night no plus ones, just one ticket per person.

I was able to get one, but I don't know, it seems weird. I really hope they honor the tickets we got. Now what is strange is that when I search for the event on Eventbrite it isn't listed. It's probably just been privated. I feel like they didn't mean to release these yet.

Edit: Okay, they sent a message acknowledging the plus situation. I guess that means these are legit! :D

I hope they don't honor them TBH,  I know it's great to hit but people grabbed six tickets.  That's clearly outside their intent both via the webcast and the description.

Their twitter is just playing dumb, there's at least one person in there saying it went up early and they arn't even responding.

They're probably trying to figure out what to do. I do feel a bit bad for them.

So they clarified the policy in an email.  You can sign up for pluses.  You just have to provide a name and email address for each plus.  Which is what they asked for.  They said that people who signed up for multiple tickets using the same name and email are being cancelled.  Which does explain why tickets are popping up.  They will be checking ID at the door since the name has to match.

They will also be checking vaccination status.  But they say that the comic-con wristband will work.  Which makes sense.  I don't see why any offsite wouldn't do the same instead of spinning up their own capability.  Why not leverage comic-con's?

Doesn't change the fact the link went out 30 minutes before they posted.  What a joke.

This event might have celebrities.  It's an Amazon event.  Amazon usually has at least one token cast member attend.  They hint to it in the description "Plus - there might just be some very special guests...".

If they cancel your ticket, will they tell you? I put 2 different names right away but I panicked and used my email for both. My tickets have different names and QR codes though and I printed them out already.

Bummed about this one! I'm working a virtual conference all this week, so no time to refresh reddit/discord all day to get the early link.

I was really hoping just having the twitter notifications would be ok for this one  :(
