Because of the low number of Platinum tickets available there is a limit in place on the shopping cart. The maximum number of Platinum tickets that can be bought by one person in a single transaction is 2. There is no limit on the number of transactions you can make but each would be limited to 2 Platinum tickets.
After selecting your tickets and entering the ticket holder details, the payment options are presented - at this point you have options to pay with Paypal, Transferwise or within the US, electronic bank transfers (full payment or installments for either). When you have made your selection and reviewed your order you then press the PAY NOW button - at this point your ticket is on hold If you elect to pay by Paypal you will be directed to the Paypal site to make your payment. If you want to pay by the other methods the tickets will be held for 14 days.
The tickets are reserved as they are ordered and then validated when they have been paid for so there is no advantage gained with the speed of payment.
Quick follow up, if someone purchases platinum tickets but does not make a payment in 14 days, the tickets get put up for sale again. My question is, does everyone who already bought a ticket get moved up to a better seat or do the seats that person was assigned go back out for sale?
Sorry for so many questions we are just trying to figure out how we are going to have four people sit together if we can only buy two tickets at a time
