This brings up a common problem I have with high demand ticket sales. Why not, for at least the first portion of tickets, us a scaling price? When sales open, the price is $10,000. Drop the cost by 1% of the starting price per minute for the first 90 minutes. Recalculate the starting price at the current price and begin again until we reach a floor.
So if sales start at 9:00 am we have the following schedule:
09:00 am : $10,000
09:01 am : $9,990
10:30 am : $1,000
12:00 noon: $100

Nor are they interested in extracting the maximum amount of money (though of course they could do a few charity auctions). A good mix of small companies, freelancers, corporations is probably what they're aiming for.
- thomaslangston 14y agoIf the goal is to spread tickets evenly over all potential attendees, then lottery style ticket sales make more sense. Although if they want to control the composition of their audience even more, they can sell some tickets via Dutch auction and use the profit to pay for the costs for attendees are specifically invited.
