Fblthp's Vault - Price oddness [Investigating]

I'm thinking this is either a result of being in VIP or just poor coding..
When I look at the prices for each item, Ugin, Fblthp and "the Lost" card, the main vault picture showed one price.. then, when I clicked on it, it was lower.. .then, when I click to actually BUY them, they're even lower!.. (For instance, the Fblthp package was first 3XX, then less, then less again)
Thinking this was some hidden deal and laugh by the devs that no, they weren't going to charge that much, I clicked on it... 

It was the original price listed in the original vault picture... 

Well, the event was fine, so, fine, but the Vault pricing was the issue for this event. Kinda guessed something would be amiss since, as I posted, already,

Holiday/Convention weekend + new event = crazy event bugs we can't have resolved until post-event...

@Brigby - When you get back, can you check what price the vault items really WERE supposed to be? If "Totally Lost" was supposed to be 60 or 40 or 30, for instance?.... 

EDIT: changed cost examples to variables until someone can verify seeing the same thing.

    If it was 320, did you notice the price difference per click? I'd forgotten what the price was at first glance. I'll update my original post if that's the case. The main thing is what you paid for it and what it actually showed.

    @Azerack - now you are asking a very good question. I did not verify what the prize tag said and what was withdrawn from my available amount. That is something that I do not think to check, since that would be a serious fraudulent behaviour, if you ask me. However, some serious mistakes have been performed in this app, so perhaps that is something I need to check up on once in a while.

    I think my confirmation price was 280- I’m in the top vip tier.
    Didnt check how much was deducted however...

    Cost was reduced for VIP I believe.

    But it was reduced multiple times, or somtimes not. I payed 360.

    Before first match it was 400 after one match 380 and after two 360. After 5 wins it was the same, at least for me.

    And yes i have vip.

    @bken1234 - What he said. It's not that it wasn't reduced, it's that it seems like it appeared to be reduced multiple times, but the "end cost" (I was doing the math) seemed different from what the "final" cost was. I'm wondering if they were trying to add on some discount for finishing all 3 rounds AND the VIP, but the code didn't work out correctly.

    That's why I would like a "Price check on register 1, please..".  ;)

    Hmm that's certainly peculiar. I'll pass this thread along to the team, and see what they say. Thanks for the heads up!

    Update: I spoke with the team, and it would appear that this is specifically a visual error for VIP players only. This issue does not affect the purchase price. The team is currently working on a fix for it.

    So, then... what IS the actual price for VIP's? IS there a discount? Which price was correct?
