shoppertee24 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I was wondering if anyone knows how you get to have a chance at getting the super sale items like the laptop or camcorder? Is it a race throughout the store or do you get some type of coupon or voucher depending on where you are in line? THere are 2 things I want and I wondered if I would be able to get them both. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!Welcome to the community! BB uses the ticket system. About an hour or so before the store opens they will come out and start to pass out tickets. In the past they pass out tickets for laptops, desktops, TVs and other big items. For more info on the ticket system please see this thread: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=49435 For more info on when to get into line please see this thread: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=50978 I hope this helps and best of luck! Remember that gottadeal.com is open year around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeeMek Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The closer to the front of the line, the more door busters you get. BB hands out tickets for the Door buster items. I would suggest you getting in line at around 10pm to have a chance at getting any good deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swelsh524 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 BB is saying they will pass out tickets around 12AM, be there early as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_Hancock Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Where did you hear that? Source?Ross, I'd honestly discount that previous post. I know you've been BF shopping for quite a while and we (my wife and I....me happily, she grumbling about me breaking yet another promise and letting her sleep on Thursday night/Friday morning....I cannot figure out her complaint! LOL!!! ) have been doing this for over 15 years and neither of us have ever seen a BB employee arrive before 2:30-3AM and this is usually the manager. The rest of the employees trickle in around 3-3:30AM. So, how would they be handing out tickets at MN when the employees don't arrive until 2-3AM? That previous post is just another bit of FUD being spread by a kid.........nothing more. On the other hand, there is always CUSA.............and by the bye........what's drawing you to CUSA for the 9PM opening? I saw you post in another thread on another forum that you were going there for the early opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsteelthrill Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 So they open the doors for these deals at 12:01 am friday and not 5 am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronOnline Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 5am is when Best Buy opens.. do not be fooled by posts which try and mislead you. Just be there by 3 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
