I missed out on masq tickets as well, but 
attended the simulcast for those who didn't 
get tickets.  But it's understandable that such a 
popular event would sell out and leave people 
disappointed.  They have limited resources 
and can't possibly satisfy everyone.

I took pics of the major cel booths if anyone is 
interested.   There were still many high quality 
cels available if you were willing to pay.   There 
were also some other booths with a few 
books.
