No, it's not enough to understand your moaning. You would NOT of got anything if for example 30 people were there before you on the 'limited' items. Regardless of raffle tickets, all they were was to make sure the people who got there 1st knew there place.. Even without them, the same people would be in a queue waiting wouldn't they? You still wouldn't of got anything. Grow up..
40 minutes before this kind of event and you expect it to be near empty? You were dreaming.. I understand your frustration, but regardless you would still have those same people in front of you. The raffle tickets have not changed the amount of people in front..

Drove up at 9 and drove straight back off again !! Glad i didn't bother getting out of the car looking at earlier posts
Same, turned straight around!
Has the riot started?
Not yet but only one showgirl not plural. Gibbo has the shakes
Why? By seeing a crowd at 6am and proactively opening the doors earlier all it would mean is that the queues would be cleared earlier thus making it a better experience for everyone. The same people would all have been there first though whatever time they opened.
It's not rocket science?
What difference does it make?
The people who got there early were given tickets so they could get the offers they wanted.
They would have been ahead of anyone who turned up at nearer 9am regardless of what happened.
This pretty summarises why no one should be moaning. Irrelevant what time the doors opened, you wouldn't be getting anything unless you were there early enough to actually get a ticket anyway.
Even if they'd stated they were opening at say 6am, those people that got there early would have just gotten there even earlier. The fella that was moaning would still be moaning
Really don't see what difference it makes whether the doors were opened early or not, or tickets were given out or whatever.
If 40 people were there before you, they were before you and whether they got to the deal at 06.00 or 09.05 before you, they'd have got to them before you regardless.
Unless you were expecting some sort of deal frenzy melee where the doors just opened and whoever fought their way to graphics card X first got the deal, I don't really see the problem.

And you would still have been in the queue AFTER the people that had arrived before you.
Or maybe someone doesn't understand the concept of first come first served? Maybe you thought it would have been fair to push your way to the front of the queue?
All you need to know, regardless of when they handed out tickets : People were there infront of you so tough on you really!
If people are going to an opening event with limited stocks (take the iphone for example) they tend to queue up early.
Petrol money = lmao - your problem there dude!
