It said 8PM, but maybe they are in a different time zone.

Got mine. Looking forward to seeing everybody in September!
I got skunked by about three minutes for the June party. C'est la vie.

Got mine too. The "Few Tickets Left" warning started at 8:10. They might not make it to 8:30.

Does anyone know how many tickets are available totally ?

I believe they cap the astronomy field to around 500 people in total. I'm actually shocked that tickets are still available 1hr 12 minutes after they went on sale!

I would think there are probably 100 or less tickets left.. and I would dare to say that perhaps 80-90% of the tickets buyers are CloudyNights members.

I got mine right at 8:00, but I'm very surprised that there are still tickets available at 10:18 PM EDT.

Sold out now. There is a join wait list button. The CSSP in June was sold out in less than a half hour. Maybe they allowed more tickets in a single transaction?

I hope vendors come this year. That's one of the bigger attractions at star parties for me. It was disappointing that none showed last year.
Agree!!

I got mine right at 8pm too but there are still tickets available and it's after midnight. So I guess I'll see some of you there. Clear skys everyone.

Welp I just checked at 4:25am before I went to bed and BFSP is sold out. Only thing now is the join wait list button.

The “slow” sell out may partly been the result of power and internet outages. Severe storms late afternoon yesterday, including a possible tornado, swept through northern Ohio and PA. 400,000 are without power in Ohio.

I don't think it was as slow as we thought. Even now, 8:29 AM EDT, if you go to Eventbrite's BFSP page, it still says "Few Tickets Left". However, if you click on the "Get Tickets" link, the only option is to get on the waiting list. You have to take that extra step to see that the tickets are actually sold out.

This is true! My ConCast internet went out shortly after 9PM. And in the true ConCast way, I got a notice this morning they would "look into the reported outage". Internet came back on many hours before that "automated" notice was even sent out.
