Can you open another batch of seats?

 

[Turbo]

Bummed that I missed the signup- myself and my business partner were planning to attend.
I understand space is extremely limited- we'd like to be added to the waiting list. But if only 1 can attend, that will do. Understand the costs involved and we are absolutely prepared to make the trip.

Thank you sir!

I wonder what percentage of people that want on the waiting list had the opportunity to buy a ticket before they sold out?

I would guess very low, since it looks like they sold out 1 hour and 20 minutes after being posted.

 

[Bosstradamus]

Addeth me as well please

I think last year it sold out in 60 seconds.

Last year the time/date that the tickets went on sale was announced beforehand, so everyone that really wanted a ticket was camping the page spamming refresh, or at least that's how I got mine. Selling out in an hour-ish is pretty fast considering that it was launched with no warning (unless there was a warning that I missed).

 

[DiemTrader]

Please add me to the waiting list, thanks!

 

[OperationMyWay]

Please add me to the list as well. It is much appreciated.

Based on luck really. I couldnt find a date or time for when tix would go on sale

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

BTW, there was no advance warning unlike last year.

 

[FionaS]

I wonder what percentage of people that want on the waiting list had the opportunity to buy a ticket before they sold out?

Probably a lower percent, seeing as we didn't get any notice on when the tickets would go on sale this year.

I know that for me, personally, I'd been checking every 10 minutes or so for the last 2 or 3 days, then had a meeting to attend at noon on Tuesday (I believe tickets went on sale right as my meeting started, and were sold out when I got home).

If I can still get a ticket, great. I'll keep my fingers crossed and childcare/transportation/etc set up until I know for sure.

If not, that's fine, I know everyone there will have a fantastic time and I'll just make sure to have nothing scheduled next year so I don't miss it again. I've been trying to attend for the last 3 years, I'm sure I'll make it eventually.

Yup with no advanced warning it comes down to who was lucky enough to have time and access while tix went on sale at the random non scheduled tome they did.

Had there been advanced warning I would have cleared out my client meetings and got a ticket.

Then again if there was advaced warning then it wouldve sold out in 60 seconds and it still is luck on a smaller degree lol

 

[MJ DeMarco]

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



As for the having more tickets, I'm sorry but it is not possible to stuff 100 people in a 50 capacity room. The hotel does not have a larger space. Again, this is why we held out for Talking Stick Resort for so long, we wanted the ability to move up to 100, or hey, maybe 150. Here we can't. That said, a few more tickets will come available as 1) some drop out and 2) we come to terms with how many more we can *squeeze* into the room. Next year, shit, we'll shoot for the stars and go for 200.

I think last year it sold out in 60 seconds.

That's because I didn't give advance warning to the sale, nor did I hint the sale to my friends so they could get to the front of the line. I was trying to be fair, especially to those who visit here regularly. Everyone pretty much got notice at the same time -- which simply was a thread at the forum. In hindsight, I see this was a mistake and I apologize. Neither @Red or I didn't expect a free for all, and thought that tickets would be available for days, maybe weeks. Next year we will indeed give a timeframe, say "tix go on sale Mon 4pm" or something else.

Anyway, we should have some more ticket news by the end of the week, and early next.

AGAIN, if you are in the waiting list, I will advise that you watch the thread with instant email notification. I won't go chasing people down who haven't visited the forum in 9 months.

I just screwed up - I happened across the thread and saw they were on sale, checked airfare and hotel, and came back to buy but it was too late.

Interested to see how this plays out.

I'm a little disappointed that the guy that fasted for a month and made $100k will not be speaking at the event.

Is that you? Did you submit a speaking proposal?

 

[Bosstradamus]

I got email notification and have taptalk notifications for this forum on my phone. Didnt get a chance to look at the notifications till it was too late though.

Not mad. Again sometimes it just comes down to luck since there was no way to mitigate things knowingly.

 

[pickeringmt]

Is that you? Did you submit a speaking proposal?

No, I went the stupid hard route and started a business. Now I'm stuck working at it and selling real products.

Should have just fasted....

DAMMIT - i just realized I should have fasted for a ticket!

For interested parties, I didn't have a chance to buy and then said "aw shucks, add me to the list".

I was at the doctor's all day for happy reasons.

I wish I could multi-like a post!

AGAIN, if you are in the waiting list, I will advise that you watch the thread with instant email notification. I won't go chasing people down who haven't visited the forum in 9 months.

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.
