Exclamation

[QUOTE=DeltaWings;23799191]Anyone with a ticket to either FTU or FTUA available for sale? Had booked my flights expecting a previous seller to come through, but that fell apart.

Cheers,[/QUOTE

Most sellers expect to be paid, not receive two weeks of excuses for non payments

And now you want people to believe you booked a flight.

I have been to quite a few of these things, you can crash it yourself, you do not even need to buy a ticket.

Even planers trust most people and expect them to be honest.

You do meet some nice oeople,

It is always best to stay at the host hotel, you seem to meet more people, and able to attend more meetings.

I do notice a lot of extra people seem to show up at meal time, just like most events.

Ok, cool. Thanks. No, I don't plan to invite him to the breakfast & lunch... and I'll be across the street at the Holiday Inn - just need 1 more Saturday night stay to satisfy my Into The Nights promotion!

Are you serious, bud?

10/14: E-mail from you saying you'd received the transferred ticket and would send a payment link the next day.
10:17: I tell you that I am international and will look for your "Chase Pay" e-mail.
10/19: I did not find the e-mail and offered to pay through your merchant account as you had previously offered.

You responded with an attitude and refused to complete the sale.

If two weeks is only 5 days in your world, time flies!

Also, yes, I do have a flight:



I'm still looking for a ticket and would appreciate the opportunity to purchase one to either FTU or FTUA. And hey, satman40, if I can't get ahold of one, I'll just book a flight to CLT and watch my alma mater hoist the ACC football trophy.

Thank you, Scottrick! I just assumed the regular FTU was sold out by now. Got my ticket and I look forward to meeting many of you there.

Cheers,

Tickets Seller should be aware once the ticket is re-titled it will take a week to remove the non payers name., before it can be sold again.

Always get your money up front, people seem to have all kind if excuses when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is.

Yeah, that's not cool. It's not like we pay for X amount of booze and use it until it's gone. The hotel counts the number of people at each meal and cocktail event and bills us based on that. So if you sneak 5 people in, we get a bill for 5 more people.

Given that, we do check for name badges and we will ask you to leave if you don't have one.

Cheers,
I think they are willing to accommodate infinity people at the remedial sessions, so I don't expect there will be much of a secondary market for those tickets. @:-)

Milespoint has some members posting advanced , and regular tickets for sale also.

We had a convention at DisneyLand once, many of the box lunches ended up in the rooms for the kids, after that first day, the hands go stamped.

The event is well worth the price.

.
Are the remedial tickets available at a discount on MP? After all, tickets are available from FTU. And come with Hyatt status unlike secondary market tickets where the seller keeps the status?

Did not know that, however 2 members are wanting to sell advanced tickets,

I knew they were trying to get all attendees status, seems only fair.

After attending status should not be a problem, they get some great ideas, all they need to do is follow thru, with some action.

FYI Ryan sent out an email that the schedule has been updated. I'm quite excited though am surprised there really isn't a session on Flying Blue given it is in Amsterdam, the hub of KLM.
