    Good to see that worked for you. Are they really sticking to selling one ticket at a time?

    sharki.... congrads....

    we had some DT people at the front of the line - I was #15

    we talked about going down the line to find out who else was there from the site... but we decided not to look like crazed people.

    I believe it was "BROWNINGS CHILDE" that came in from Lubbock and was in front of me. They got there about 2 to 3 am, I rolled in at 5:00 am... going to be a long long day for me at work now.

    so.... Fess up, Who else was there?????

    and yes... they handed wrist bands out... each person got 1 wrist band... no wrist band no ticket.... one ticket per person was enforced.
    I overheard someone mention they had paid several of their college neighbors 100.000 each to stand in line and get tickets, so I'm guessing you might see tickets available on ebay - but they'll probably be north of 100 bucks.

    Congrats on getting some (or one?) . I always wonder what other crazed people are in the same line who we converse with yet do not know visually.

    I was sooooo looking forward to this. Even my wife consoled me and she doesn't give a rats' ass about Stephen King or my collection!!!


    Spoiler:
    She's into "Sue Grafton"!! LOL

    since we were at the front of the line, we were trying to talk the organizers into letting us get our books and then let us go to the back of the line and go through again... unfortunately they didn't allow us to do that and I'm pretty sure by the time they opened the doors, all 400 wristbands had been distributed.

    I'm willing to bet you could find some tickets for sale on the secondary market... I'd watch ebay and the Austin craigslist over the next couple of days.

    That is being conservative.

    There are currently four WANTED postings on CL now...I imagine one or two of them are members of this site.

    I was able to secure two, and it was great to meet you, Terry. My wife talked me into driving down after the announcement, despite the fact that I had already given up on getting to go since tickets were only on sale on site. My mom was good enough to make an unplanned trip to Austin with me. So 8 hours later we arrived in Austin at about 2 am, to find only about 5 people in line. We were afraid to leave and come back, sooooo 7 hours in line, but got to have a lot of good conversation with folks as obsessed with King as I am, including our own Sir Boome. Then, an 8 hour trip back to Lubbock, but.....I got a golden ticket, I got a golden ticket!

    That's awesome! Is there a barcode on the ticket? If not it looks like it would be too easy to forge. Or do you also have to bring the receipt?

    For those of you still needing a ticket. I was contacted this morning by a fella name Joe, phone # 713-416-5620.


    He has 1 ticket remaining for the Austin event. He is selling it for $150. He offered it to me but I passed on it. So I am passing this along. Feel free to contact him.

    There are at least six people on Austin Craigslist looking to buy tickets. None selling that I can see.
