Instructions for computer tickets

Computer tickets are tickets, which allow you access to the party place 24h/day for the whole duration of the event, and guarantee you a reserved computer place. There are roughly 1000 computer tickets for sale for ASSEMBLY Winter '07.

Computer tickets are sold using an interactive Java Applet user interface, which allows to you to "point and click" on the exact place you want to buy. Before you can buy tickets with this interface you will have to register.

Registration for ticket sales is open from Sunday 25th of February at 19:00 (Finnish time, UTC+3). Tickets are sold from Sunday 11th of March at 19:00 (Finnish time, UTC+3) until the start of the party. Computer places tickets cost 50 €.

The ticket ordering system will randomly select new buyers several times a day from all of the registered people. The selection is completely random: it doesn't matter if you registered a month ago or two minutes ago!

Because the selection is random and there are only a limited number of computer tickets available, we can not guarantee that everybody who registers gets to buy.

REPEAT: registration doesn't guarantee that you can buy!

Because of the high demand for ASSEMBLY tickets we feel that random selection is the only fair way to select the buyers. To prevent abuse of the system we check all registrations for duplicates.
