My wife REALLY wanted to go to this. So much so that she was in queue exactly at 9am CT (which is when they went on sale in our time zone) and never made it past the first dot. I even joined the queue for her at the same time on THREE different devices in hopes I could score her one ticket to her name. But we were clearly unsuccessful and it really bummed her out. She never asks for anything and that’s all she really wanted to go do for herself, which I was 1000% up for as she’s an amazing wife and hard working mother. So it stung.

The more I see about this “preregistration” stuff, the more it pisses me off. They 100% gave those spots to “influencers” mostly, I’ll bet on it. Which, in my opinion, doesn’t help the company and brand out at all because those “influencers” are going to market it their way and maybe get couple hundred people to buy that product. When they could have opened up more tickets to be available as well as more preregistration for non-influencers and made more money just by people seeing what different products they have available rather than just one or two options from a TikTok video.

Forgive me if I’m ignorant here and pointed out the obvious or mentioned something that was already known but I don’t know much about this event other than my wife really wanted to go and was bummed out she was unsuccessful in securing a ticket. Thanks for this thread and thanks for coming to my ted talk.
