Don't be sorry, Andy. You have it exactly right. First come, first grab -- unless you bust the timeout. It's quite true that many tickets could sell very quickly, but if you're the first guy in, I want you to declare the number of tickets asap and then reserve them for you for N minutes and if you're a slow typist or have second thoughts, you're toast and the tickets are un-reserved.
