Request to display number of tickets remaining in the grid

Requested it last year will request again this year.  It is very helpful to know if there are X out Y tickets available for certain events, like True Dungeon.  If you have a minimum you wish to buy you don't have click on the event when it has less than X to see if it does have X.

The suggestion has merit, but would be unfair to those who are only booking for themselves.

i will explain later the logic... have to get ready for the final countdown...

I will be interested to see why you think it is unfair.  Anyone would still be able to click on it and purchase the ticket(s).  It just provides visibility to anyone that is looking for a certain number of tickets.

Without getting into a long debate or discussion, it’s because it would allow teams of people to swipe all the remaining tickets without having to get to the ticketing screen like the solo ticket buyer.

But to be fair to your suggestion, it’s fine if you always book for everyone.

That works great with up to being 6 hours after the fact. Not updated until 6+ hours after registration opened.

Only if the gencon website were frequently updated to reflect availability on all screens instead of just the last screen of three you must go through. Ran into many events showing not sold out with zero tickets left.

Sorry but what are you talking about.  It would just display the number of tickets.  They would have to go to the ticket screen to select the tickets just like a solo ticket buyer.  It would only provide more information not save them an extra step.  This would be true if someone wanted to purchase 2 tickets for an event and would save them from having to click on event with only 1 ticket.
