Sir_Belial Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 If there are any hopefuls looking to get their Premium tickets during the next batch releases, here are some tips that may seal the deal so you won't need to admit defeat and get a general ticket (before realizing everyone else admitted defeat, too, and now they are sold out as well): Use a chrome extension to check the page for any updates every few seconds: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-monitor/ogeebjpdeabhncjpfhgdibjajcajepgg After installing, go to this page, click on your extension icon, and click "monitor this page." Then go into "options" and ensure you have the check interval box checked and set to 5 seconds (and use the chime sound effect to ensure you know the page was updated). Feel free to monitor other pages as well, though the actual ticket page triggers the alert every refresh cycle, so I wouldn't recommend it. Once 12pm PST rolls around, you should hear the alert ping, refresh the page, and immediately press "Add to cart" on the premium option. Ensure your shipping/billing info is saved in your account settings here: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/account/addresses When you reach the page after clicking "Add to cart", there is a drop-down option just above the information fields you can use to populate the fields from your saved address. Ensure you check all the agreements at every page, missing some can slow you down by enough seconds to miss out on the batch. [EXTREMELY IMPORTANT] Use PayPal as your payment choice, as their buyer protection ensures that as soon as you are redirected to the PayPal site, your ticket is reserved to your order. If you miss the batch and see the "sku: out of stock" error window, remain on that page: as soon as the next and final batch at 6pm PST comes by, all you'll need to do is hit your return/enter key to re-submit the order request, whereas everyone else will need to go through the entire process again. If you do end up not getting the premium ticket, but still want to go to CitizenCon, grab a standard ticket as soon as you can, as there will be plenty others that will be doing the same. Don't make the assumption that because they have sold slowly the past day that they will last a long time when the final batch of premium tickets are sold out!

I found that mashing F5 from inside the Premium Ticket Info Page to be how I got mine. That extra second or two I got ahead of a page scanning extension helped. That and a high-DPI mouse.
