Pushing back the curtain only diminishes the offer and so the value of CE.
This was to TFS. So, at least, plenty of time!

What I don’t get is: if they were willing to push the curtain back, why not selling CE tickets online?

Also, the other strange thing is that there were no seats together available to select in the seat map immediately after buying the upgrade.
