💚 An update on today's 50% off Ekka ticket sale 💚

Wow... the response has been incredible! Unfortunately, the overwhelming demand has caused technical issues, and our team is working hard to get everything back on track.

To make sure everyone has a fair chance to grab a bargain, we've made the decision to postpone today's 50% off ticket sale to next week.

The good news? The full allocation of 50% off tickets will still be available when the sale goes live.

If you're an Ekka subscriber, you'll receive a new discount code 24 hours before the rescheduled sale, so keep an eye on your inbox next week.

We're so sorry for the inconvenience and know this isn't the experience anyone was hoping for. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and the incredible support you've shown Ekka today. 💚

We'll share the new sale date as soon as it's confirmed.
