I was over at Best Buy this past Sunday. I casually heard they might be getting some Wii's in. I was in the area so I went to check it out. Come to find out the only people to get a Wii were ones who already had a ticket? What is up with these tickets and how do you get one?
Why can't they just sell the Wii's on a first come first serve basis instead of this ticket nonsense. And if they are using this ticket method, why don't that advertise it more to make it clearer to the public? I had no idea you needed a ticket to get one.

I had driven by the store about 45 minutes before it opened on my way to somewhere else, there was no one waiting outside.

I believe they are functioning as first come first serve...The tickets were handed out to the people that were waiting there earlier(i.e. overnight)

It is usually done as first come first serve. The Ticket is so that they won't get stampedes. They give the first ones a ticket and then when they run out too bad. Then no one has to rush at it and cause injuries.

Cause they don't have enough and want to make it fair for everyone to have a shot at getting one.
