Nice video Martin although you left out another way you can get a guaranteed place at a future Hyrox, which is to volunteer at an event. Admittedly this doesn't help for any of the events coming up this autumn but if, say, you volunteer at Birmingham in October you'd then be able to get a free place for London Olympia next year when tickets go on sale (assuming there is an Olympia event, but it's just an example). Granted Hyrox's process and comms for this weren't great either - I had a rant about this in response to your last video on this topic in fact - but it worked in the end and I got a place for London Excel in November.

Ahh crap. You're right. I do have plans for a whole video on volunteering...only problem is how long the codes come through and the availability of the remaining events....a few kinks left to work out there isn't there. It's getting better slowly

@@martin-boyce Yep the system for how you redeem the volunteer code needs improving...last year you got the free entry but were still subject to places being available, so unsurprisingly a lot of vollies weren't able to use it. This year they included a priority access with the vol code but this wasn't sent (or at least I didn't receive it) until *after* the public ballot had opened 🤦🏻♂️🤣! I suppose if loads of people cottoned on to this as an option then there might be the risk of creating a black market for volunteer codes as well... Should add that volunteer judging at Hyrox is good fun by itself even without the incentive, but a free event place worth £100+ is better than I've seen at any other event.

Hello again Martin, I am in the misses out section of Duplo. I think if hyrox were to put on some events a year that was exclusively for affiliates and then general sale the rest, surely they would keep more people happy as affiliates are just grabbing all the tickets. I know affiliates where the same people just do all the hyroxs. I have tried the Dekas and the Nuclear and enjoyed them alot

It does feel a bit grabby doesn't it. It's all changed so much. Dealing with this type of problem is hard at the best of times but the affiliation stuff really does lead to a feeling of have an have nots. If this carries on down this path it'll just lead to the same peeps from the same gyms showing up to everything just for pictures on their Instagram...sigh

Good explanation Martin thank you! Yes I've missed out a couple of times. It's not just HYROX, online only ticketing for Concerts is similar. I guess the benefit to HYROX is that they can understand the demand. Christian announced at Nice that 2025 would go to 250k participants which is another 20%+. Not many companies are growing at that scale. Do they start going to Monday and Thursday events etc? I'm sure they will figure out the supply vs demand issue. Gyms here in Ireland are putting on HYROX simulation events, chipped. I guess this will satisfy some members who didn't get tickets but will also attract more to the pot. One thing you could have suggested was look beyond the UK? Some European destinations are cheaper to get to for a couple of days than London.

@mikecaseyoshea3594 yes I am doing Paris later this year as I couldn't get any UK tickets but still adds to the cost of the whole event.
