Buy tickets for your clan

AUTHOR:

DATE:

COMMENTS:

Ticket sales for Frag-o-Matic 13.1 has started for some time now, and for this edition we reworked our ticketing system.
The biggest change in this new ticketing system is the feature that allows a person to buy multiple tickets and then assign these tickets to other persons.
Some of you already used this feature for the registration of their clan, where 1 person is responsbile for the registration of his or her entire clan.
This way, we make it easy for clanleaders and team managers to get the registrations of their team easily organized.
More information on our new ticketing system and how it works exactly to buy tickets for multiple persons, can be found here.
 
There also is a good reason to hurry up to obtain your paid tickets as soon as possible: within the not too distant future we plan to start composing our seatmap.
And of course we give priority to those who already paid for their tickets!

New ticketing procedure

AUTHOR:

DATE:

COMMENTS:

Together with the release of our new website, we've also made some thorough changes to our ticketing procedure.
In our webshop you can buy your FoM event tickets.

The biggest change is that you now can buy multiple entrance tickets, and then assign them to other people (e.g. your clanmembers).
So basically this means that each ticket has a 'buyer' (the person who purchased the ticket) and an 'owner' (the person to who the ticket is assigned and who can use the ticket to enter the event).

More information on this new ticketing procedure and how to assign tickets to persons can be found here.
