We went to the BestBuy in Durham,NC and they did the "ticket" thing... a BB employee came out with ticket for item "A" and started at the front of the line asking each person if they wanted item "A" - they continued until they ran out of tickets. They proceeded to do this for VERY limited item they had. We were told that you only had until 10am to pick up the 'ticket" items and if you did not pick it up by 10am it would be released to the general public. We got our tickets and went to breakfast!!! Came back about 9am when the lines were lower, picked up out items and went home!! Worked GREAT!!!!!
