I bet it is a new record. I've only missed a couple of kick-off parties, and, for fun, i always monitor the sales. I couldn't attend last year, so I didn't keep as tight a watch on it, but it's been interesting, for the other years to watch as it has gradually gained popularity. the first couple of years, it didn't sell out. then, i think '06 was the first year it sold out, but it was only just before the show. in '07, I remember it selling out in a couple of weeks. by '08, it sold out first day--as it did again in '09 (and i'll presume, again, in '10). but, i don't ever remember it selling out in 1 hour. and really, it was probably meant to be sold out in 30 minutes, given how many of us dealt with server crashes, etc. in the first 30 minutes this morning. it's a popular year for TBF--and it should be.
Yahtzee, you must be referring to one of the smaller venue shows that ENB sold out. for those, it would be impossible to establish a record. before the days of the Yonder sheridan lottery--from at least '05 on, Yonder sells out immediately. it's only a question of how quickly the server can process the requests, but just based on how quickly people fill the virtual shopping cart and hit purchase and put in CC info, i would say that those tix have been accounted for in under 1 minute since at least '05.
