Great to hear. Looking at the dates that become available, a few tickets are more likely a month ahead of time, especially the couple days before. It took me 3 weeks of checking to get it. Just had to check in on the script once a day and make sure it was still running.
What do you mean when you say check it on the script once a day? I suppose you have a PC that is running 24x7 without going to stanby, right? I am not sure how to do that when I am at work.
