Summer ticket purchased

[amanacer]

Hello Terry,

I bought 3 tickets for the summer draw (June 29) via PayPal and I have not received my tickets. Please check. I can forward confirmation if required.

I don't think any actual (or even virtual) tickets are being sent out. My understanding is that your paypal receipt is all you get and your name and phone # are added to your ticket by Bill in case yours is drawn. If you'd like confirmation that Terry or Bill got your purchase, email webmaster@vmug.bc.ca.

I received a scan of my ticket purchase. Looks just like the one I would have received if I had purchased at a real meeting. Remember those?

I just purchased 3 tickets right now and was expecting to receive 3 numbers in return as confirmation. Or are these tickets in the ether? Would anyone know what their actual ticket numbers are? I have sent a note to Terry & Bill via the webmaster email address above as well.

I purchased three tickets via the website last evening. Got email reply from Pay Pal confirming payment immediately .
Today, mid morning I got an email from VMUG, with my three tickets showing my name and the ticket numbers emailed to me.
I printed out the page and have the physical tickets in hand. System appears to be running correctly as of last night and today.

I had to send Bill a copy of my receipts that PayPal sent me in response to my payment for the two times I purchased tickets and Bill did send me a scan of my 2 sets of 3 tickets. However I was debating to maybe purchasing more but there is no way to tell how many tickets are still left for purchasing ... Don't want to find out after payment that no tickets were left.

No worries. If that were to happen, you’d get a PayPal refund in due course.

PayPal has been a royal pain in the posterior regions for this summer draw.

When a member purchases tickets, PayPal is supposed to send a record of the transaction to me by email and I theoretically shouldn’t have to go to our PayPal site at all to find a record of the transaction and write it up. But not all of the transactions are being emailedl and I’m finding when I log into the VMUG PayPal site there are transactions that I don’t know about. This morning I found nearly a half dozen transactions from last week that I didn’t get email notifications for.

Profuse thanks to Hans for getting in touch and alerting me to this problem.

P.S. If 25 members each buy 3 tickets tonight or tomorrow they will be sold out. If there are any tickets left I will bring them to the BBQ. Bring cash!!!
