Good point. Races (5k, marathon, etc) do that also to encourage people to sign up early. I think it's dumb, but at least the festival tier thing is honest.

It's the dishonesty that kills me. The reason I think I was bugged enough to look into it is that I fell for the trick. I knew it's going to be a sold out game, so I assumed it was real traffic/user actions and almost let that influence my purchasing decisions.
