Tons of people posting on Reddit that the codes they’ve bought at Cirkle K have already been validated. Either by CK staff stealing the codes or someone used software to guess the codes. Apparently they’re short and easy to guess codes.

Ya I’ve been following that. Might need to retract that suggestion.

Worst part is the stampede refusing to help people that have been scammed. I guess a chargeback works but Jesus, how Mickey Mouse is the stampede that they used 5 digit codes that could be guessed randomly in like 2 mins?

Yeah, its not like this is their first Rodeo. They've been putting the Stampede on for a couple of years now I think, so one would imagine that they have a procedure in place for this kind of scenario.

Anyone interested in seeing Tokyo Police Club at the Wildhorse tent tonight? I'd be there for sure, but I'm out of town all week.

They just offered me comp tickets, with entry between 2 and 7PM. I assume this is a mass blast e-mail, but if anyone wants some, and can get there before 7, then send me a DM.

There are 6 digits per code. But someone did the math and it's very easy to write scripts that could crack the thing in 10 minutes. I bought circle K passes for us last week and luckily no issues using it yesterday. Sucks for those that got scammed, but don't even bother with CS customer service. Go directly to your credit card company for a charge back if you used it.

Also on a side note, there is the ability to purchase the "express pass" to get to the front of the queue for rides. If ever there was a scam, this is it. Completely useless feature. Instead of giving full priority (or at least something worthwhile like 60/40) to people with the pass , all it does is split each ride from a single queue into 2 queues. Operators just take 50/50 from each line. Just from eyeballing it, probably about half the teens at the grounds are using it, so both the express and normal lines are the same length at each ride. I was laughing my ass off each time I got to the ride the same time my compatriot in the other line did. Complete waste of $30 and does not work the way it was designed unless the design was to simply generate more profits.

There's always the objectification of women and animal cruelty, if that's more your style.

And just generally treating your body like an amusement park by eating things you probably shouldnt eat.

Plumbers probably make a decent amount of money post-Stampede.

Maybe he's doing them in the wrong order?

Have you tried Alcohol before Music? That usually does the trick!

Hoping someone here can answer this. If I have tickets to an event at the dome (aew wrestling on Saturday) can I enter the stampede at opening with my tickets or can you only enter the park around the time of your event?

I’m 95% sure you’ll get access to the grounds for that whole day
