I do not have a credit card of my own.. So my friend finally gave me their cc details to use to book our tickets... So about 5 mins ago I selected x2 concession sunday passes, and the site preceeded to take me to payment where it told me to log into paypal. I did not realize that payment had to go via paypal. I have a paypal account so i went in and tried to add my friends credit card as there is not enought money to take out of my bank account. of course paypal did not allow this. so i cancelled out of the whole thing and tried to go back to see if there was a cay to not go through paypal. when i went back to the ticket page the concession tickets were sold out!!!!
An extra $41 does not seem like alot... but I really don't know if ill be able to go now:(

Very upsetting when all the flights have already been booked too :(

Does anyone know who I can contact in case I may be able to have a student price? Or is anyone selling their sunday concession pass?

I was attending the convention out of self interest, and to represent the University of Queensland's Secular Freethinkers Society.

Whoa...gave me a fright then Pro. :) Thought I missed the great sell out. Alas must have been a temporary glitch.

Less than 20 tickets to go.

Jessica has bought her two.

When people enter the payment system it 'holds' the ticket for them for a period .. this can make it appear that the ticket numbers are down, if they do not go through with the purchase, the ticket is 'released' after a period of time.

There could have been an issue with clicking back and forth in this regard, as well as others looking at the purchase process (maybe even 'bots')

We are now down to only 18 tickets.

I would love to have a ticket free weekend. :p

Did you people who haven't purchased a ticket hear what I just said. I want a ticket free weekend!!! Please. :D
