For all those that bought 5+ tix or even one two and have nothing to do with then and/or can't use then - u will gladly take one or 2 (even for a small charge ) - granted you can change name.

I enjoyed Budapest other than the fact that I missed this deal because I was there and that's why I kinda skipped the first 6 pages. But I just said IF u can change name ;)
I'll write a report soon in appropriate thread

I still doubt it reaches 10,000. FT only had 145 posts by the time it was dead.

I didn't manage to book into HKG (a legit ticket) earlier.


The real question is what can UA do to me if I have a balance of -2,000,000.

Maybe ppl were too busy ordering, and couldn't post...

And the negative balance could be fought, since at the very least, you have the email showing the 4 mile cost.

1. No one knows if these deals are even going to be honored yet.
2. It means you're not stuck to your computer/phone which is always a good thing!

Anyone care to wager (fake money of course) how many posts and views this thread will have before it dies?

I'll start.
750 posts, and 13,000 views. That would be a 17.3 ratio, which is a low ratio. (For comps purpose, the cc master thread has a 36.9 ratio.)

Just so you know you drastically changed your opinion. No one ever said stuck to a computer/phone. Getting a text is hardly stuck.
