Checks where you are on the Firefly waitlist and keeps you logged in so you don't miss out.

hey this is pretty neat. for no really good reason I adjusted it slightly to return both total in the waitlist and active in the waitlist, and also to check every 10 minutes instead of 1 minute. I have no idea if this will be useful to you at all but just for giggles, enjoy.

    waitlistactive=$(echo "$ticketpage" | pcregrep -o1 "(\d+) of them are active")
    if [[ $waitlistactive == '' ]]; then
        echo "Either you're now off the waitlist or something went wrong."
        break
