One notable change this year was the ability to buy 4 tickets under a single name. Previous years were limited to 2 tickets.
Deluxe and General Admission tickets had high demand and appeared to all be in carts just minutes after sales went live, however they did not sell out for several hours, and as carts expired they became available again. Group A tickets appeared to have sold out around 5 or 6pm.
