Unlike the first two phases, each person buying tickets in this third phase will be allowed to buy a maximum of six tickets at a time. After tickets are paid for in full, the purchaser can apply for more tickets...but still only a maximum of six at a time. Tickets sold during this phase will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis.
