They're probably hoping somebody will buy them at the last minute. If they don't sell, they'll give them out at the gate. First in line will be any elites on Y-fares, then any plats, then any golds, then any silvers on fares higher than "X," and only if all those categories have been exhausted will they call your son's name and hand him the coveted battlefield upgrade. Good luck!
