Well.. Talked to the selling couple, and explained to them why I thought what they were doing was wrong, and they explained that their reasons for selling 2 presale tickets (420$) for 1,300$ is because they rounded up the ticket cost to 900$ then they assumed interest on their cc since then is another couple hundred (when infact it's probably on closer to 20$ worth of interest.) And then you have to take into account that they have many friends who would love to purchase both these tickets off them for around 1000$.
Their question was how else can you decide fairly which friends you sell these tickets too? Whoever is willing to pay more should get them, is what there thought was. Again, I disagreed because if someone can afford 2000$, what make them a more deserving person to go to the Burn. I would rather see the ticket go to someone who will contribute to the community, and without the help of Sean selling him a ticket for cost, this person would not be able to go.
Because they were suppose to go to the burn with me, they said they wouldn't mind selling the tickets to a friend of mine that would come down and contribute to our camp like they would, for a smaller price then 1,200 instead of 1,300. I still don't think they see the point.
Also, they don't want to sell it to Ben, because over the weekend Ben confronted them an a very confrontational way, telling them that pretty much what we are all thinking. What they are doing to not cool and against the moral fibres of burning man. Lets just say he bitched them out.. which is a good way to not get a ticket. I'm still confused about how to approach this situation now. They don't care about the gifting community part... and they would rather just have a "whichever friend will pay the most will get the ticket". They said they won't sell it until they get the ticket in hand.. so I still have a couple months to work on them.
Can you at least admit that nuclear explosions are awesome!?
