Yay! I got tickets for my first ever MAC Warehouse Sale! Going on Friday
I bought mine for $15 off Kijiji, and as the sale is approaching the prices of the tickets go down, so if you guys want to go you should check!
Anyone have any tips?
I know that the warehouse is usually separated into three rooms/blocks, if you want an item on the table you have to get paper and write it down and give it to the sales people so they can bag it for you. Anything else I should know?
Congrats, you will have so much FUN! FYI there's a separate FAQ thread on the sale:

Read the opening post, and lower down post #10 by me, with some extra info.
When I first went, I forgot to get charity bags! So don't forget, look for the table AFTER you pass through checkout. Bags are $5 each, and cash only, max 4 per person. Unless they change the price...
Some things that people often miss - there is a FULL SIZE brush set (187, 168, 222, 263 in a black case), it's off to the side in the 3rd room usually. It used to be $75, I think it's $80 now. Look for the 8x10 paper sign on the wall with the price, it makes it easier to find. Another thing I used to miss is the antiques table - it's in the 3rd room, and it seems like it's just old perfume bottles and stuff. But this is where they keep the couture collection items. I picked up a Baroque Boudoir powder and case for $12 once. They still had the Monogram compacts last time I went in December.
Another tip - if there's an item you're looking for that tends to sell out (such as Cleanse Off Oil, popular MSF's) - check at the returns table in the last room. Sometimes people change their minds and return stuff. If you ask nicely, the people manning those tables may look through and find you what you want.
Have fun!
