Main Sale Ticket Guide

By Tyler on 2019-03-10 (updated 2022-03-23)

Ticket guide. Follow these steps!

This guide is a best approximation for 2022, as 2019's sale broke many expectations and was a big disaster all around. It's hard to say what this year will hold, but hopefully it will somewhat resemble something more 2018ish again, which this guide is based on.

So hopefully I’ve already convinced you that if you have even just a thought of coming this year, or a future year, this is something you need to try for. With the even-more-limited supply of Main Sale tickets this year, it's going to be harder than ever. Please read this guide through now, then do the Preparation steps below right away.

Main Sale Registration: do this now! [2 min]

During the 48-hour window for Main Sale registration commencing at 12PM on March 23rd, you must:

  1. Log into your Burner Profile. If you do not have a profile, simply create one, being sure to use your credit card address. There is no advantage to answering any of the Participation questions in any particular way.
  2. Once logged in, on the left side under "Sparkly Things", click the register link.
  3. A large blue REGISTER button appears on the right side. Click it!
  4. Ensure a green Success!! message replaces the button you just clicked.
  5. Look for a confirmation email confirming You are registered for the 2022 Main Sale. If you don’t get this soon (mine came within minutes), check Spam, and go back into your Burner Profile and see what’s up.
  6. This is really easy to mess up if you’re not paying attention! Make sure you register with the button, and make sure you get the confirmation to prove it!
  7. Follow up with your recruits to ensure they follow the above steps.
  8. Wait for the Main Sale on March 30th. Double check you have alarms set for before 12PM (PDT) on the 30th so you're ready.

Main Sale on March 30th [1 hr, hopefully]

The day prior to the sale (March 29th) you should have received an email with a button "Enter 2022 Main Sale!". It won't work until about an hour before the sale.

Around 11:45AM (PDT) on March 30th:

  1. Be at your fully-charged computer, with 100% reliable internet connection, passwords handy, credit card ready. Regarding credit cards: A given credit card can only be used for a single purchase. If you are a couple and both of you get through to buying stage on your respective accounts, you must use different credit cards!
  2. Keep this page open in a browser window for reference.
  3. Have Whatsapp handy to contact me with questions. I recommend Whatsapp Web BTW so you don't need to thumb-type. (Don't use regular text message as I can't reply from my computer.)
  4. Attempt to enter the queue by logging into your Burner Profile and using the Enter Sale button or by using the "Enter 2022 Main Sale!" button in yesterday's email. It's likely that this won't work until 0–15 minutes before the sale starts. In any case, enter the sale before 12PM PDT, or if this fails, as close to 12:00:01 as possible!
  5. You should end up at a page saying you’re waiting for the sale to begin. It will probably say "don't reload this page", which is good. (Make it impossible to accidentally close this window!)

If you try to enter the sale and get some other strange message (like you're early, or even saying that the sale has ended), wait a minute and try again.

Try to enter the sale queue before noon! If you don’t do the above before noon, your chance to buy tickets may have dropped dramatically.

At 12:00PM (PDT) the sale begins:

  1. You may be redirected to another screen or otherwise see the message change. This used to be a little person figure walking along a green track where further along meant closer, but it may be different now.
  2. The sale's entire lot of 10,000 tickets are being bought up over the next 20–60 minutes.
  3. As long as it’s as described, don’t reload or touch anything.
  4. If you see something not described here and are lost, contact me straight away!

If you get to the shopping cart:

  1. Buy two tickets and one vehicle pass, no matter what, and get them delivered to you (do not choose Will Call). The order will probably come to about $1700 CAD.
  2. If you can only add vehicle passes and cannot add any tickets, do not buy anything — sorry, the sale is essentially over. (Sorry if you got excited and thought you were about to score tickets.)

If you are just doing this for Ty as a favour, I will absolutely fully reimburse you within a day! 🙏🏻 (P.S. You're awesome)

Once it’s all over:

Let me know your result right away!
