Ok,

So I've gotten reports that a few people have gotten TWO tickets from Eventbright for UPEC.

Here's the skinny:

There is nothing wrong with your television.. We control the vertical.. We control...

I'm kidding.. We attempted to recycle our UPEC.eventbright.com subdomain for this event, and ended up with historic data from last year. The software doesn't understand the difference between last year's tickets and this years tickets, so you are seeing both. I'm getting the impression that the programmers who designed the eventbright system are in sheltered rooms somewhere hidden far from the tech support people who answer the phones and have to deal with the shortcoming of their system. :) Typical...

I've had a couple conversations with Eventbright tech support, who have advised me to avoid attempting to recycle the subdomains in the future, but for now a few people have gotten two tickets, one from this year, one from last year.

Don't worry, in spite of the fact that I'm getting both lists on my reports, it's very easy to sort out on my end. (tossed the first five pages of my checklist report {sorted by ticket type} in the trash and we're good to go!).

    This is scheduled for before the (Mayan) calendar runs out - so we should be good to go.

    The following year, I propose UPEH (Unofficial Propeller Expo Heaven).

    Providing Prop2 releases next year, I'll pronounce all 2012 expos as UPEH. :)

    You can also use UPEH if Prop Heads end up in the other place. (Hey, we all know PJ Allen is going to the other place. Apparently they have cookies.)
