willingness to stand in line for a ticket probably correlates well with fandom
- bradleybuda 4mo agoStanding in line is (today) a digital process that a scalper can trivially scale
- saghm 4mo agoIt seems unlikely they'd continue to do do that if they weren't able to flip it at a higher price later
- alphager 4mo agoX$ for the ticket plus a convenience fee/service fee for standing in line.
- saghm 4mo agoIt seems baked into the concept of "reselling can't be done at a higher value" that transfers would have to be limited to a platform where that sort of thing is prevented. For example, if the reselling market is just "add your ticket to the pool for people to buy, and if someone does, they get the ticket and you get the money", there's no way for the sellers to contact the buyers, so I'm not sure how you'd envision an out-of-band payment occurring.
- badgersnake 4mo agoWhy bother if there’s no profit?
- gtm1260 4mo agoHow does willingness to pay more money not correlate with fandom?
- badgersnake 4mo agoWillingness to pay is not the same as ability to pay.
