I believe it should be auctioned anyway, so that the people with the highest desire to go can put their money towards it. This is the most practical solution to the problem - the organizers get paid what the tickets are worth, anyone who wants to go knows how much the tickets will go for, scalpers become futures traders
- Jarwain 4y agoThe problem here is when artists want their tickets to go to any fan, and not just fans who have a lot of disposable income.
- iopq 4y agoThen why charge money? Just give them away for free The thing is, artists would like to make more money
- notyourwork 4y agoNo ones buying your resold steak from the butcher. Life happens but that’s a minority use case. Not the example to design around.
- iopq 4y agoBut you can put it in the freezer for months, kind of breaks the analogy. A concert or convention is just those few days
- kodt 4y agoOk but what about someone with not much money, but time. They may be willing to camp out for several days (certainly desire there) but would lose out to someone with money who can easily afford it.
