It signals a fundamental misunderstanding of how onsales work. These misunderstandings can lead to poor customer experiences. But if the definition is changed, it could be claimed that an instant sellout can happen. For our purposes, for an event to be considered "sold out", it means that:. To help explain why, first consider that the ticket-buying process usually consists of four main stages:.
During this process, there is a cart timeout clock running. If the whole process takes longer than 10 minutes, the user is kicked out of the flow and needs to start over again. If you think about your own experience purchasing tickets to a sought-after event, you already know the answer. It could be that the tickets available are at the wrong seating or pricing level. The user might select the tickets just to have something in the cart, but then bail before purchasing them.
More commonly, though, users will open the ticketing process in multiple browsers, or on multiple devices. The goal is to have several seating and pricing options to choose from. The users select their best option and abandon the other carts. But by doing this, users are temporarily locking those tickets for everyone—until the cart timeout expires.
When a user selects the tickets and adds them to his or her cart, the ticketing system will lock them, take those tickets off the table for everyone else.
This is crucial. The tickets a user sees as available depends on how many tickets have been purchased PLUS how many tickets are temporarily locked until their timeout period expires. In the minutes immediately after 10am, all the available tickets will quickly be locked by users, with their multiple browsers or coordinated friend groups, etc. However, many carts containing tickets will be left to expire.
So, at about am, all those expired tickets will be made available again for purchase, starting the second generation of ticket buying.
