SOLD OUT!!! - Sorry to those who didn't get seats!
« on: February 17, 2009, 07:12:53 AM »
The FITES 2009 Event has sold out!  This is the first time this has happened in the history of FITES!  Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen!  It is quite the impressive feat, considering this poor economy!  I guess people are just looking for an escape for a weekend.

I am sure the FITES Staff will put on a great show!

To those who didn't get payment in on time, be sure to register earlier next year!

A few members of my team didn't get to pay in time. I see on the site that not all the seats are filled on the seating chart and there is still the ability to pay online. Whats the deal?

The reason why seats are still open is that the people who already paid have yet to pick out their seat. So that is why you are seeing all of those empty seats at the moment. Once we sold; we sold. Now if there we had something like 20 seats still to sell and it was passed the pay online date. Then you would be paying at the door. And that is $50 if I am not mistaken. The $35 fee is the fee to pay online and guarantee your seat for the event. Not to mention save yourself about $15 to be used for food or whatever. Better luck next time.

Are there refunds for the two members of the team that paid? Obviously not going to go to a lan where I'm not guaranteed a seat and my team mates aren't going to go unless the whole team is there.

If you are paid you are guaranteed a seat. You should have received an email with your confirmation key. But like I said, that's if you paid.

Why do I have a feeling we are going to have some open seats? How far was your team coming from anyways?

I would also like to point out Mr. Tibs is not a member of our staff.

Two members of my team had paid and the other 4 were planning in it within the next few days. I'm wondering if those two who paid can get their money back because we don't want to go without our 6. If the registration filled up this fast before the event, there should be no problem selling another 2 seats. The two members who paid are listed under hsjesus's name on the website (austin helman). If there are more seats open though I would still be interested in going, but I am not going to drive 3 hrs each direction to find out I can't play.

Faced... I am sorry, but as the screenshot above shows, the registration fees are non-refundable.  However, they are transferrable.  In the past, when someone has had to cancel their trip at the last moment, they were able to sell their seats via a posting on our forums.  As you said, with the demand of this event, you should have no trouble selling the two seats that you registered and paid for.  Simply sell your seats to someone who did not get a chance to register in time, and work out a monetary exchange.

This event is very much like going to a rock concert, you don't get refunds for deciding not to go to the concert... it is up to you to try to sell the tickets.

Hopefully you understand and can appreciate our stance on this.

Faced,

As for your tourney situation, have your registered guys come to the event and pick up some players, meet some new people.    Its about have fun with fellow gamers.  There are 160 gamers, they can find  a team.
