Despite the extremely long-shot odds, what was everyone's strategy last year?  The link was posted on both Facebook and Twitter, so presumably Funko published to both sources simultaneously.

In terms of trying to secure tickets by legitimate means in the general sale, I think what ultimately separates those who get in from those who don't, could be a really good internet connection.

For me personally, I am planning on trying to secure tickets at my work (tech company with a fiber connection) using three separate machines -- two PC's and one Apple.  And will have TweetDeck installed, as I've found that to deliver Tweets to me the fastest.

Am open to any & all other suggestions!

No real strategy; be quick click fast.  I don't think you'll have time to secure tickets with all 3 machines; literally last year it was gone in 30 seconds.  Having a good connectionw ill help for the first set though. N o doubt.Or are you saying you'll have 3 up and hoping ones quickest.

Yes, precisely.  I just want one or two tickets, haha.  So whichever machine displays the link the quickest is the one I'll buy the tickets on :)

It happens so fast, I wouldn't want to be refreshing 3 machines, unless you absolutely trust that Tweetdeck updates that quickly on its own. I got in on general sale last year watching Twitter and normally use Tweetdeck, but decided I'd just go straight up Twitter and actually F5 the Funko feed. It is literally click link>click how many tickets>click checkout and hope to your overlord that the next thing you see is the purchase screen b/c then you will have 15 minutes to calm your tits and enter all your info. If you don't get that screen, you will get the sold out error and it means you were too dang slow.

Not really bragging? Just excitement over getting tickets to something they wanna go to! I’d be excited as well if I scored tickets. Heck, I haven’t even gotten to go in 3 years and I’m still sharing their excitement!

[member=310]danberry75[/member] and [member=2541]Godolphin[/member]: Don’t give up! The general sale is crazy, but it is not impossible to get tickets. For 2016 and 2017, I had to do the general sale for myself and I was able to get tickets. So again, it’s not impossible. Mel already shared the info on what to do—good luck!

Don't have to click anything past checkout if you run an auto bot script ;)

If any of you that are set want to help get tickets for me....I wouldn't complain.
Group of 4, none of us have tickets yet....and unless the sale is after the school year ends my teacher friends going won't even be able to try.
