Tomorrowland Sells Out In 1 Second

Tomorrowland surged to international popularity after their 2011 After Movie which currently sits at 60 million views on YouTube. After 2 million hopeful concert goers logged on last year, not only did the ticketing site have difficulty dealing with such a load but all the tickets sold out in 9 minutes. Now cue in February 16th, millions of people attempting to log in and buy their own 3 day slice of Tomorrowland. Well this year the event sold out in exactly 1 SECOND. That’s right, 1 second. Now fret not as some sources are stating that Tomorrowland will be making a monumental announcement on February 18th and something tells us it has to do with their desire to take the festival around the globe.

UPDATE (02/16): We are now receiving diverging accounts from our readers who were able to purchase their tickets after the 1 second mark. We will update this post as we receive more information on the matter.

UPDATE #2 (02/16): It’s official! We received multiple confirmations from Tomorrowland that the tickets did sell out in 1 second! While we understand that some of you got them minutes if not hours later, it simply means you were put in a queue which indeed took hours to empty. What 1 second means, is that in that very first second, as many people clicked the buy button as there were tickets available.

In order to get into the ticket system you needed to be in the waiting line the first 5 seconds or so (aside from the initial timeouts on the requests). If you didn’t join the queue in those first seconds, you couldn’t get into the ticket system. It took me more than an hour to actually get into the ticket system but the time you had to join the waiting list is what actually matters.

How come I bought my tickets 2 hours after it started and it wasn’t sold out yet?

YourEDM says:

Thank you for your feedback. We just received multiple confirmations from Tomorrowland that they did literally sell out in 1 second. Read our explanation above as to why some may have waited before receiving confirmation of their purchase.

Falk says:

I didn’t receive the confirmation after 2 hours, I literally joined the waiting line after 2 hours and got my tickets.

Shane says:

Lies. you had to be there the second it started to even have a chance.
