Yes, that's why you connect at the right time and it's essentially a lottery system. They announce when it will be and there is a unique captcha ("press the red dot") for each sale before you make it into the queue so you can't script it. They even restarted one time after a captcha was broken in some browsers.
I've done this many times in past years and it worked fine. Friends and I seem to get mostly random positions in the queue.

Yeah that's what people refer to the space as, if you're both familiar with them. Was indeed wondering if I needed to write it out again when having used the word hackerspace already earlier in my comment, but figured this would signal in-group more. Apparently not.
> the tickets are distributed to known hackers, those that are members of communities.
That was my point actually. The people I see at hacker spaces aren't more hackery than those that aren't involved with a particular space. Many of the people that meet there regularly just come there to chat with friends rather than using things in ways they weren't meant to be used. It's a very broad audience, quite random, and generally one that is in favour of everyone having equal chances
