How does a DirecTV event "sell out"? What they really mean is they are no longer taking orders, right?

No, what they mean is that the event is sold out. You cannot attend because tickets are impossible to get. Since you cannot attend in person, they are streaming it to PCs or beaming it to dishes so you can watch it in your home.

Reading comprehension FTW!
