Quoted from ag90IL:Was a bit lame, many weren't able to attend pinball life open house due to working Thursday and the Friday ticket scheme/no retail sales was beyond confusing.
I'm sorry that the ticketed event confused you. Basically, the event was announced, tickets were put on sale, and they all sold out. So you either bought some originally, found some on the secondary market, or you didn't go. Pretty much like every other ticketed event in the history of mankind...
Both the show and game were awesome!
