Why do people hate the free market when it doesn't suit them?
Since when does the free market mean Google can't say "non-transferrable ticket, intended for developers only"?

But as long as Google will sell anyone a ticket and allows the tickets to be transferable, you can't be upset about someone reselling tickets.
I can support free speech while still being upset by bigoted speech.
It wasn't actually 30 seconds. It just was timing out. I got one in the first six minutes or so. and as of 7:26 PDT there are still regular tickets left.
They had a page that said "Don't refresh this page or you will lose your spot in line"
So you wait, after 6 30 second requests to the server, it times out and says "We were unable to find a ticket... please try again"
So I waited, instead of crazily just refreshing the page and disregarding what they said, hoping it was true and Google had implemented some sort of queueing system (call me crazy). My very first request to the page was at 7:00:22 AM.
So, obviously it wasn't actually a queuing system, especially because it was still getting {"status":"waiting"} responses for about a minute after all tickets were reported as sold out on the main page.

"Tickets may only be used by original purchaser. Tickets may not be resold. The resale of a ticket will render the ticket null and void without any responsibility to Google."
