Good morning! Our group of four just bought tickets to Gatecon. Hurrah! The person who made the purchase has a time-stamped electronic receipt from PayPal acknowledging we paid Gatecon. However, the Gatecon site kicked her out after that. Are we ok?

If you have a Paypal receipt you are fine but let me have your names so I can double check for you

Hopefully everybody here was able to secure themselves a ticket. I'm looking forward to my first Gatecon and I hope there will be more to look forward to in the future.

If they don't do one in 2017, for the 20th anniversary of SG1, I'd be crazy surprised.

TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE

The store counter had a hissy fit partly due to multiple orders being placed.
It will take us longer than planned to sort through the duplicates.

If you have received a receipt from Paypal your order has been received by us, but please be extra patient waiting for the official confirmation from us.

Meanwhile, if you tried and missed out first time around please head back to the store and try again...but no more duplicate orders please :)

Richard, This is a follow up to my earlier email to you. I made a duplicate purchase for my group a few minutes after the ticket sales began. :( A regrettable mistake for which I would like to resolve. At your earliest convenience (I understand you all are VERY busy now with the many confirmations), please instruct me on how to correct this. Many thanks! Nell

I'll more than likely be coming on my own so I'm looking forward to finding out who I'll be next to... someone will look after the lost and terrified Londoner, right?

Of course!  You'll leave with more friends than you ever thought possible!  This fandom is amazing in that respect.  I didn't know anyone the first time I went to SGCHI, but after the weekend, I had loads of new friends, and was happy to see them at the next one.

What a roller coaster this past hour has been. 

I'm a nurse and work nights (7P-7A).  Since I worked last night and tonight, I couldn't stay up to get a ticket so my son promised me he would do it for me.  I impressed on him how important it was and he swore up-and-down that he would do it.

This afternoon, I woke up and saw a text message from him saying that he had been unable to get the ticket because it sold out.  He was so sweet - he felt terrible, he knew how much I wanted to go, etc. etc.

I was somewhat surprised at how deeply disappointed I felt. 

So it's four hours after the tickets went on sale but I decided to check it myself.  (Had visions of trying to bribe someone in authority for a ticket. ;D)  And I saw the message that tickets were still available and managed to snag one.  Oh, happy, happy days!!!

Yeah - there was a little server hiccup, but they cleared it up and tickets ARE still available!

In fact - tell all your friends!  There may be people who don't realize that the tickets didn't sell out and haven't tried again!

Trying to get ahold of a friend of mine to let her know but she's out in no mans land right now. So glad tickets are still available but at the same time that would of been amazing/shocking if it had sold out that fast!

Can't wait to meet everyone!!

Have been trying to get a ticket, but keep getting bounced out. Anyone else having this problem?

Just checked the store and there don't seem to be any issues this morning at this end.
Are you still having problems?

We had a very smooth transaction - registered, logged in and purchased within 5 minutes of them going on sale, complete with disability details. Then, Natalie and I were just like 'oh Jaffa Cree, we're really doing this...' and squeed. Lots.
