- To facilitate the purchase of tickets, we will create a virtual queue at Ticket360. It will start at 9:00 am on December 13th, so all people who access the event after that time will already be in the virtual queue, organized in order of access. As soon as you join the queue, you'll know your position, average waiting time and number of users.
- At 1 pm, sales opening time, the first 100 people will be released to buy their tickets. They will have 20 minutes to make their purchase.
- It is very important that you do not leave this page (close the tab, refresh it), as if you do, you will lose your place in the queue. Check this page frequently, as once it's your turn, you will be automatically directed to the ticket purchase part and you will have a time limit of 20 minutes to make your purchase.
- When each person selects their ticket, it will be reserved in the cart for 5 minutes to complete the purchase. If this time is exceeded, the person will lose the ticket reservation and will have to select another place on the map, respecting the maximum 20 minutes for finalizing the purchase. After this period, the buyer will leave the event and will have to enter the virtual queue again. With this, the buyer does not have the possibility to go straight to the purchase page without going through the queue and everyone will know their exact position in the virtual queue.
