Every year, my friend's group of 6 all attempt to get tickets. When I decided to go, my name was thrown in the hat for a ticket.
It's a very strict process on buying tickets.

I'll try and break it down briefly, mostly because I'll prob get some detail incorrect.

I strongly urge you to read the site. Tough thing is, there's a TON of info and pages. Can you say FAQ?

Create a Burner profile. It's free and pretty much standard stuff. That gives you a login.

As the date nears for the first auction, you must enter your payment method. I think this is every year around March.

Some time after that, the official auction date/time is published. When the date arrives, open a second window with a UTC and when the exact second arrives, click once on "buy now", and wait.

If you are successful, congrats. It sells out in literally seconds. But it can takes 10 minutes before you know if were successful.

Month or so later, there's a second auction in the same manner.

Then an OMG auction some time after that.

After that, go through STEP, Secure Ticket Exchange Program. That’s where tickets are securely sold peer to peer, and, where all our tickets came from.

The auctions were a total mess this year. Can't recall the exact reason.
Might've been only the first one.
