2015 Fastlane Meetup, Ticket Waiting List

[AllenCrawley]

I wish I could multi-like a post!



So for any of y'all that don't have email notifications on your phone, let me tell you what worked for me in terms of catching it the first time around:

• Make sure you're subscribed to the thread, and that it's set to email you when there are new postings
  
• Go over to If this then that (IFTTT.com)
• Set up a recipe that when you get a relevant email into your inbox, it'll send a text to your phone. I used the following, but adjust per your own needs. No hating on me if this specific logic fails you: "New email in inbox from search for (from:mj@thefastlaneforum.com) AND (subject:meetup OR subject:"B & P" OR subject:"B&P" OR subject:"waiting")"
  
• When you get the texts, you know you need to go check the thread to see what the new post was.

So this means that for a few days, you're gonna get spammed with a whole lot of texts. Small price to pay if you really want a ticket. In my experience yesterday, the auto-notify emails from the forum, as well as the texts from IFTTT, happened in near real time, like < 60 seconds.

Now this is how you make sure to get a ticket, lol.

Haha, You can just use taptalk to get notifed on the phone and go directly to the thread. Still wasnt able to get a ticket since i couldnt log in and purchase in the middle of a meeting

 

[jujumac]

Not that we've decided the manner of disbursement of tickets if (or when) some come available, but your post in this thread shall serve as the order priority in the case we decide to do FIFO allocation. So please don't pay attention to the fact that I haven't updated the first post in this thread. Thanks.

 

[Guest12120]

I advised people to "WATCH" the thread with INSTANT EMAIL NOTIFICATION to ensure you receive notice fast. Doubt anyone did.

I did

 

[MJ DeMarco]

I did

Yup, and hey look, you got a ticket.

@Red and I expect to hear news of ticket openings on Monday as we are visiting the facility to inspect the room. Another group plans to have 50+ people in the same room and where going to see how comfortable/uncomfortable it is. Stay tuned.

Considering actual ticket sales were given on a FIFO basis, shouldn't additional/replacement tickets too? I know that many of us are quite bummed that the ticket link was dumped in a new thread without any warning, and we had no idea ticket sales had begun.

I would gladly pre-pay for my waiting-list ticket to make sure I get it, and it would cut @MJ DeMarco 's time down in chasing up people who are on the list that won't reach into their pocket when the time comes.

For those who did not get a ticket (myself included) we should be asking ourselves what is it going to take over the course of the year to ensure that we get selected to present at next years Fastlane Meetup? Then we won't have to worry ourselves over pre-paying, watching for updates, etc. That should be our priority goal. To be successful enough and add enough value to others that choosing us to present is a no-brainer. Even if a year from now we still aren't ready to present we will be that much closer to getting a guaranteed ticket. The statement above is directed just as much to myself as it is to anyone else here. It would be awesome to get a ticket to 2015 meetup, but let's all plan on doing something worthy of being invited to present in 2016. Cheers everyone!

This is a fantastic idea that I would like to participate in

There was a heads up (a warning) that a new thread was coming. There was also a post in the old thread that linked to the ticket sale thread.

Just a heads-up, we should be creating a new thread soon with the new details on the meetup.

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/co...meetup-formerly-b-p.55011/page-20#post-428235

Thread closed... ticket sales and information coming in 3... 2.... 1....

[randomnumber314]

Sigh...imagine if you followed a thread for months, patiently awaiting notification of when tickets will go on sale. Inagine explicitly asking if tickets were on sale at 7 am. Imagine being too busy to check every single post the second it's posted. Imagine your surprise when the you look at the thread at 5 pm to find it's all sold out

. Months of waiting, no warning / heads up of WHEN the tickets are on sale

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/co...meetup-ticket-waiting-list.57541/#post-428577

Selling out in 1 hour 20 minutes was based on luck? Hmmm...

BTW, there was no advance warning unlike last year.

Ya man sometimes it comes down to luck because no matter what you do or did it just doesnt happen. I like your never say quit attitude. Prepaying for a ticket imo is something that should be doable

I too am waiting to see an answer for this. I'm also on alert in case the abswer is via pm

 

[saigon]

Please add me to the list as well. Thanks.

 

[Sauce]

Can you pleasd ad me to the list as well.

Can't believe I missed the window to buy tickets. My business partner and I have been talking about attending this since it was first announced with unconfirmed dates.

Please add me and my business partner. Thanks

 

[MJ DeMarco]

OK GREAT NEWS GUYS!

Danielle and I visited the room today and it looks like we SHOULD have room for people on the waiting list.



So here's how it's going to go down.

As of now, everyone on the waiting list AS OF NOW (that has POSTED PRIOR to this message) will be getting a private message from me with details of ticket sales. It will be a date/time this week. The tickets will be available for 12 hours only. YOU MUST HAVE BE ON THIS LIST TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A TICKET.

After 24 hours, the ticket sales will close again.

Thereafter if there are still room for more tickets to be sold, I will set up an advanced date/time for the release of the final tickets.

So with that said, here is the waiting list and those who will get notice:

@zr1
@Castaway
@pickeringmt
@Bosstradamus
@FionaS
@OperationMyWay
@Turbo
@RElifestyle21
@Tony I
@randomnumber314
@thorn
@needchaser
@Yury Byalik
@csalvato
@Goobii
@jujumac
@ctkim
@Maverick 1000
@pds
@Sauce
@saigon

@wade1mil I did not put you on the list as you made no mention you wanted on it, you merely commented on the process. If that's not accurate, let me know.

Again, if you are not on the list above, you will have to wait until anything is released prior to these individuals getting access at tickets.

PLEASE DO NOT POST HERE NOW SAYING YOU WANT TO BE ON THE LIST. IT IS TOO LATE. YOU CAN TRY AFTER THE 24 HOUR PERIOD EXPIRES FOR THESE WAIT-LIST FOLKS. AS OF NOW, WE EXPECT TO ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE WHO LISTED ABOVE.

 

[Y.B.]

Awesome great news. If anyone is looking to find rooms/share rooms, please let me know.

You are correct. Thanks for checking.

 

[randomnumber314]

Great news, glad to hear! I hope I can add some value to the group and get to know some people better in person!

@MJ DeMarco,

Thank you.

Thank you, MJ!

 

[K.Y.]

edit:

For those that are not on the above list, are we waiting for a new thread or for your to post that there are still tickets?

After the purchase period for "wait-listers" expires we will see if any spaces remain. Then I will post an announcement of how many and how they may be obtained.

Not sure how this will work because there might be only 2 or 3 available so a general announcement would flood the system with 30 simultaneous buys, and that's a problem. As always, stay tuned to this thread for announcements.

And I also guarantee this: Tix will come available as some folks will have to drop out due to personal problems.
