Re: Ticket wanted
Tue, April 22, 2008 - 6:21 PMI have my tix but 2 friends missed out. I want to help them get there.
Shall we start the bidding at cost plus $1? going once, going twice...
Seriously, anybody with tickets they can't use, I suggest putting them up on ebay and announce the auction here on this tribe so we all have a fair shot at getting our slow friends in. And, because of the demand, it's likely the price will go up if you start the bidding at cost. I know it's not exactly the "Burning Man" way, but this isn't a BMOrg sanctioned event. -

Re: Ticket wanted
Tue, April 22, 2008 - 11:06 PMIt may not be a BM org event, but I think we still have the burner spirit in mind here. It's not my ticket and not may say, but I just don't think it's right to go over cost if you can't make it to the event.
You have to do what you think is best, but even if this isn't the burn - we're pretty much all still burners here. I'm sure those that were meant to go will find their way - more people will inevitably realize they can't go for one reason or another as it gets closer to the event. -

Re: Ticket wanted
Wed, April 23, 2008 - 3:59 PMI was thinking the same thing about making money on someone else's event, but there are so many people I know who have said they are desperate to get a ticket, maybe if you had the ebay thing but donated your profit to a charity that Blue and Saynt could get behind?
There's no way to make ticket sales "fair" to everyone's satisfaction in any way I've ever seen to any event where demand is even one person over capacity. That's everything from a "burner event" to a Hannah Montana concert. Even if they added enough tickets, to accommodate everyone who wanted to buy one, someone could argue it wasn't fair to the people who bought tickets thinking the event would be smaller or complain about the greedy promoters.
The people who the universe has decided are "supposed" to go will be there. Right now, any of us could end up having to stay on the mainland. Me included. At least we can assume our tickets won't go to waste if something comes up and we have a place to let everyone know as soon as we find we have to part with them. -

Re: Ticket wanted
Wed, April 30, 2008 - 1:17 PMSure, donate the auction profits to charity. Like Burners Without Borders or something...
Or Saynt's favorite: "Buy a starving DJ another pint of Guinness" ;)

I probably wouldn't do this myself, but I'm not cool with the idea that someone who wanted to might get knocked over the head with outraged backlash. -

Re: Ticket wanted
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 11:31 AMTorch welding villagers is more like it. I don't like scalpers, nor vigilante hippies, nor people who try to profit off of other people's events or people who try to run other people's events. I guess bottom line is that if Saynt or Blue wanted tickets to be untransferable, they'd make them that way. They are both crazy busy, but they have a handle on what's going on. If they feel strongly enough about this issue, they can make their feelings known.
