The event is great.
I'm not sure about tournament ticket hoarding.
I mean I'm not sure about [the advice against] tournament ticket hoarding.
I took that advice because I never knew "that was a thing" previously, meaning the particular subject matter is completely new to me.
When you completely had no idea a subject matter ever exists, you took whatever advice about the matter.
People say go west, then you go west; people say go east, then you go east.
Even (supposedly) bad advice (pointing in the wrong direction) is good because it brings to your awareness the existence of the subject matter.
This is applicable to the real life.
"The game is just like real life" is good, "the real life is just like a game" is bad, because in the latter case, you and me we are not necessarily the player. We could be an NPC, a resident meaninglessly strolling the streets, that has no function at all to the RL Game player, and is just a feature that can be enabled/disabled by the player (lockdowns and opening-ups), and has only aesthetics value in a total other sense, I mean we can say the residents are decoration at best, but that decoration is even less significant than a Tree, which has real in-game decoration value by bringing up Happiness that the Player (the big hand from the sky) actually cares about.
