But people buy stuff everyday that they never actually use. Why should tickets be sacred?
- TeMPOraL 3y agoYes, and many people make effort in selling or giving away stuff they know they won't use, whether to get some money back or to reduce the waste in our economy, or both.
- fragmede 3y agoBecause artists don't want to play to an empty room. Even for a lot of money.
- rs999gti 3y agoStandby tickets at the venue fixes this. Similar to airplane tickets, which can be oversold, standby tickets accommodate those who really need to use a ticketed service.
- nayuki 3y agoAnd how will standby tickets be rationed? By auction? By first-come-first-serve? You still have the same fundamental problem of scarcity.
- dazc 3y agoI doubt there would be that many no-shows, demand for tickets far outweighs supply (usually). People who were making causal purchasing choices hitherto may be more cautious as a result, that's all.
