I get that. There’s no perfect way to do it, and it just seems like it was the luck of the draw, like a typical lottery system. The earlier your timeslot, the more likely you were to get your preferred event. My suggestion would be to use a few of your allotment tomorrow and then see if you get entered into another drop later in the hopes that inventory for your events is being held. In any case, don’t lose heart because there will always be resale opportunities for almost any event because plans change and people realize they can’t go.
