Hi fellow TLers in Shanghai,
EDIT : More tickets to grab tomorrow 29th :

Actually I recommend not to spam F5, because last time, when trying to open the shop you were redirectly to /coming.html. If you only spam F5, you will be stuck on this page. I guess they did this on purpose to avoid a collective F5 spamming.
You need to keep trying to open http://shop.gamefy.cn
EDIT : Gamefy just modified the conditions to redeem the tickets, please read below
According to : http://www.gamefy.cn/topic/spl/view_10436.html
Quick translation :
Yesterday, tickets for the SPL Finals were sold out within 10 minutes.
Gamefy would like to thank you for your support.
Due to the scorching weather and safety reasons, tickets will be delivered to you directly.
Tickets will be sent within two or three working days, so please bear with us. A delivery number will be issued in your gamefy member space.
+ Show Spoiler [Old version] +Tonight Jul 25th at 8PM CST, the online shop http://shop.gamefy.cn/ will open and people will be able to buy tickets. There will be a limited amount, so I recommend you to connect at 7.55PM and F5F5F5F5. Important notes :
You will have to buy online, so you will need to have a card that you can use to buy online in China. A chinese ID number will also be asked, so if you don't have one, find a chinese friend to help you.Also, to save some precious time.

It'll ask you for you real name + Chinese ID number. You'll need to offer proof when you claim your tickets so you can't put in random info. There will be two types of tickets : - Seating tickets are 50 rmb for 2, including a kick ass limited edition PL t-shirt + Show Spoiler [T shirt pic] +- Standing tickets are free but seem necessary (In order to not block totally nanjing road, they will probably restrict the size of the standing area). Then, you will have to claim your tickets and your shirt between Aug 3rd and Aug 6th at the following location : Address : 上海市洛川东路487号 (Luo Chuan middle road, n°487) Metro line 1 : stop at 延长路 (yan chang road). Walk 300 meters South after going out of the metro station. It's just next to Zhabei park. + Show Spoiler [google map location] +Hopefully I'll get 4 tickets and I'm gonna keep two for myself and will offer the other two to TLers who couldn't get some. But don't count too much on it that, it would suck to be 5 TLers with 4 tickets right ? I also PM'ed a few TLers in Shanghai about this but we may end up being over 7 or 8 TLers !
Bonus : As qwertysucks mentioned, there are some small contests to win extra tickets, and one of them provides decent odds.
Lucky draw :
- Register. http://u.gamefy.cn/register
(requires chinese ID number, once again, if you don't have an ID number, make sure the person you borrow the ID can claim the ticket if you win).
- Go to this page :
http://bbs.gamefy.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=175291&extra=page=1
Scroll a little and vote for JD. Do not vote for Bisu, Jaedong is currently destroying the poll with 47% of the votes so far, I guess another community got the same idea as us to vote for the same player. I'm surprised they publish the poll results before the contest ends, but.... If you want to have a chance, vote Jaedong (1500 entrants so far 700 voting for JD, 160 lucky winners will get autographs, maybe signed goods, it's not very clear, and 8 of them will enter a winner's draw)
edit : You can't vote right after you registered, you probably need 24 hours after you account is created. Be patient and try again later, contest ends in 6 days.
Cheerful contest :
The winner is not designated by the admins, but by people voting and this will probably be rigged (like the previous one) so don't waste a few hours doing a great cheerful. Anyway, if you really want to : http://bbs.gamefy.cn/vote/
Trivia contest :
10 random questions about SPL, anyone who get 6 correct answers out of 10 enters the draw. Requires Chinese ID, one entry by ID, same remarks as above.
http://bbs.gamefy.cn/spl/
GL !!!! GL !!!!

Wow, that's a steal. A shirt and two seated Proleague tickets for less than $10?
|
That shirt looks gorgeous... if only I was in China.

Now I may be wrong here but from what the company (Gamefy) selling these tickets posted, it looks like you buy the tickets online and claim them at a later date.
http://www.gamefy.cn/view_10345.html
Specifically, I think the website opens at 8pm tonight, have a look:
http://shop.gamefy.cn/
The first post goes on to say that you can buy 2 VIP tickets per account and one normal ticket per account, and that the normal ticket is free. The address that's posted in the OP is where you go to claim your tickets anytime between Aug 3rd-6th should you be successful in buying/registering a VIP/normal ticket.
|
50RMB for 2 seats and a shirt? That's 7 Australian dollars D:!!! If only this was happening when I was in Shanghai a few months ago T__T
|
Hey anyone can buy me 2 tickets? I'm in Shenzhen so I can't go buy them personally. I'll send money via PayPal or Alipay (even with some reward). PM me if you can. Thanks!

Yes I realized my mistake 10 minutes ago and I am currently editing my OP.
I totally missed the introduction mentioning the online shop. Then I was like wtf is that claim between Aug 3rd and 6th
I guess there will be people from the whole China buying at exactly 8PM, so the fact that it will be tonight only is still more accurate than ever !
Thanks anyway !
edit : I just realized that really sucks, this is totally luck based, people from the whole China will buy tickets to re-sell them, so there will be 20000 people F5ing to buy 400 tickets....

Hi,
A chinese ID will be required when claiming the tickets. But because you can claim the tickets until Aug 6th, if you will be in Shanghai on 6th you can buy them online from Shenzhen.

I just registered an account at www.gamefy.cn and I'd recommend you do that now if you intend to buy tickets. It'll ask you for you real name + Chinese ID number. You'll need to offer proof when you claim your tickets so you can't put in random info.

AHHHHHH im bringing a bunch of friends, but I have a birthday dinner tonight. How am I going to buy tickets..... why did they make them mandatory this time!!!

I already have an account, but you are definitely right, that would save some precious time to get the tickets. I will add it in the OP. Thanks.

Do you need to be present with your chinese identification? Because I can borrow one of my relatives IDs but it's going to be a problem if they need to match the picture ID to my face. lol
|
I'm almost sure they will ask for the ID when you will claim the tickets. Just find a friend/relative who's willing to accompany you.
|
Argh i'm in beijing. I'm going to try to find some relatives near shanghai to buy the tickets.
|
One day, the finals will be in NYC.. (please dont be cali if its in the states T_T)

Hi endy,
Since the official announcement post in Chinese is confusing as hell, I went back and read it again. You did a great job covering the basic points and I hope everyone gets a ticket, but there are a few things that you might want to add to the OP.
On July 25 2011 15:23 endy wrote:
- Seating tickets are 50 rmb for 2, including a kick ass limited edition PL t-shirt
- Standing tickets are free but seem necessary (In order to not block totally nanjing road, they will probably restrict the size of the standing area).
For one thing, I don't think it says anywhere that it's 50RMB for two tickets because the post just says price: 50RMB (max two per account).
And even if you fail to get VIP tickets tonight (god I hope years of F5'ing LR threads will pay off), you can enter three sweepstakes/competitions for a remote chance to win tickets/memorabilia/games with the players. I think they run till around July 29th.
I don't have time to translate everything but people shouldn't have too much trouble if they understand some Chinese.
http://bbs.gamefy.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=175291&extra=page=1
IMO, everyone should go vote for bisu -> bisu wins poll -> chance to win ticket + bisu memorabilia -> chance to play games with bisu
http://bbs.gamefy.cn/vote/
Probably too late to get new cheerfuls into this competition but you can still vote for your favorite one.

10 easy trivia questions that will enter you into a sweepstakes for a ticket/memorabilia as long as you get 6/10.

Hi qwertysucks (where are you from btw ? qwerty is used almost everywhere in the world)
Yeah the original announcement in Chinese is confusing as hell...
It's probably 50rmb each, but the main point was that every ID can get two tickets
(ie :
- get two per ID if you can, give to other TLers if you don't need them all.
- everyone will buy two tickets, so if there are 500 tickets to sell, there will be only 250 transactions, so you'd better F5 non stop from 7.50 PM)
And even if you buy two tickets, I think you'll get only one t-shirt.
Regarding the other ways to get tickets, they gave some during the weekend when the semis were playing but this contest is over.
The favorite player vote is almost impossible to win, but as you said Bisu is a safe bet, and even if your chances to win are slim to none, getting a VIP moment with Bisu is everyone's dream (maybe not Mustaju's but he must be the only one), and it costs nothing, so it's worth trying.
Edit : do not vote for Bisu, Jaedong is destroying the poll with 47% of the votes so far, I guess another community got the same idea as us to vote for the same player. If you want to have a chance, vote Jaedong (1500 entrants so far 700 voting for JD, 160 lucky winners will get autographs, maybe signed goods, it's not very clear, and 8 of them will enter a winner's draw)
The cheerful sounds really difficult, but it's true that we have extremely gosu MSPaint skills here at TL, so it might be worth trying.
I already participated the SPL trivia with the two ID numbers I got. They picked 10 questions out of maybe 30 and in a random order, so I can't provide the answers, and I'm against that anwyay. Don't hesitate to PM me if anyone needw help to translate a trivia question though. Chinese ID is required, and will probably be asked when claiming the tickets, so don't waste your time if you don't have one or the person you borrowed one can't be there to claim the tickets if you win.
Thanks qwertysucks for the additions.

ok i got 2 tickets (100 kuai) not sure if thats for 2 or 4 persons

On July 25 2011 21:09 Kaolla wrote:ok i got 2 tickets (100 kuai) not sure if thats for 2 or 4 persons
gg !
I got two as well, but what's weird is they charged 10 RMB for delivery fee....
Trying to get 2 more for other TLers now.
edit : LOL sold out 2 minutes later...
Message says that the sale is closed for now but they may resume it later. They offer to reserve up to two tickets, not sure of how that works given that we are probably thousands to try to buy tickets. Anyway, I bought two, and booked two more that I will probably not get.
Damn that was intense, bank of China website crashed twice while processing payment and it worked the third time.
fuck yeah !

Wow, I f5ed starting at 7:50 and I still didn't get a ticket...

Yeah I almost didn't make it because apparently firefox + ietab is good enough for the stupid payment websites all the way up till the last bit where they actually process payments.
With the delivery fee, I think there's every possibility that they are going to send an actual ticket that you need to bring with you to reclaim the real tickets, which begs the question why they wouldn't just mail the real thing, T-shirt and all, in the first place.
So anyone else get tickets?

Yeah, well i wasnt able to get ahold of my chinese friend in time, so i wasnt able to get a ticket. I will still be in shanghai, so does that mean i will not be able to watch the finals? or for the standing tickets, will there be something there later (at the place, before the event to get them). Or how does this work?

I think the "free" tickets are sold out too. In any case you still wouldn't be able to get them w/o a chinese friend since it also costs 10RMB for "delivery". TBH I think there'll be plenty of second-hand tickets on chinese equivalent of e-bay in the coming days at marked-up prices.
You might still want to enter those bonus events in the OP with a valid ID because ~10 tickets per ~2000ish entry is worth it IMO.

Oh by the way, did you understand that winner's draw for 8 lucky winners ? It was really confusing. Only thing that was clear, is that they will pick 160 winners for tickets, and so far 750 people voted for JD, and it's almost sure that JD will be selected, so that makes 160 tickets for 750 people at the moment. Definitely worth it.

I think it's 160 signed items and 8 tickets to be won. Since there are literally items from every playoff qualifying team, I don't think they limit them to those who has voted for the most popular player. It's different for tickets because one of those lucky eight can go on and actually play a game with the player.
Here's the thing though, originally JD wasn't even on the list because they only put up players from playoff qualified teams. They only added JD due to overwhelming feedback. So I'm not sure if they are actually flying him out here to the finals (would be sweet if that's the case though).
In any case I still voted Bisu because I'm a SKT fan and zerg anti-fan for life.
Edit: Well I skimmed forum posts to see if anyone asked these pedantic questions but I guess nobody cares
There are so many Chinese BW forums but none of them are half as useful as the TL BW section.

After voting, they display the results, and JD is literally destroying the poll with 47% of the votes. I guess a rival community like wfbrood agreed to vote JD to increase their chances. Then I used my wife's account to vote for JD. I'm an SKT fan too and I hate zerg too, but well, after voting with my first account and seeing JD with 47% of the votes, voting Bisu would just be pointless.
I'm not sure about your interpretation, I think they restrict the entrants to those who voted for the winning player, otherwise, whoever you vote for, you would still have a chance to win. I also think it was 160 signed items, but that includes mice signed by ZerO, shirts signed by Flash, etc. 160 seems a little too much, but well, I wouldn't mind eh !

Bumping because Gamefy shop just modified the conditions to redeem the tickets

According to: http://spl.gamefy.cn/view_10427.html
Tickets that haven't been paid for after 24hrs will go back into the system so there may be some more tonight. But I doubt that because there are people in the comments saying they had their orders forcibly cancelled after 5 min before they could pay. They called up the customer hotline and was told tickets go to those who can pay the fastest. LOL
What a mess.
|
|
|
Yeah it doesn't make much sense, because if you wouldn't pay straight when ordering, the order would automatically be canceled.

That's speculation on my part. What gamefy (company doing all this) did say is that yes, there will be a showmatch with the player voted most popular on their site. Now for this to work, the poll only had star players from the six teams that made the playoffs. But then I guess JD fans made some noise and gamefy said they are including JD "after discussion with the Korean side". Who knows if that's just some signed souvenirs or they'll actually fly him out too.
Edit: I should clarify this is only a problem because JD is destroying the poll atm. If Flash or Bisu won, they'd already be there so it's not an issue.

They usually have all-star showmatches before the finals. Usually 12 or so guys play either singles, 2v2 and a 3v3.

Oh that makes so much sense, that's why JD is destroying the poll of the favorite players ! I was really surprised since in China Bisu is by far the most popular progamer.
That would be awesome indeed.

Bumping this because according to http://spl.gamefy.cn/view_10563.html
the left-over tickets will be up for grabs again on Friday, July 29th at 8pm. It's the same procedure as before so read the OP and spam F5 on shop.gamefy.cn when the time comes!

Especially because he looks like that one actor who was in some popular TV shows about dynastic times (but now has ended up in a giant Lipton Tea ad found going up from the escalators from the Metro Line 2 in the People's Square station...have you seen it? It's the one where he and some random girl both buy tea in a convenience store and both offer to pay).

That PL shirt really is cool. GL to everyone going. I hope to see some TL cheerfuls in the audience.
