It will be free after the collapse. But we'll all be eating rats, and too busy doing that to go. Buy your ticket now!

I dont care how much it cost or if they double the fee....... I will attend each and every year it is held. Love the event, the experience and the people. Unlike many purchases I make throughout the year, I never have buyers remorse when it comes to the burn!!!!!!!!

It keeps out certain types of riff-raff. For middle+ classies, the price is well worth it just for the show. Fortunately a lot of the riff-raff turn into converts anyway.

I don't think soemthing like this should be free, however, I do think the lower tickets should only go to those who actually afford the higher tickets... honestly the price of one ticket is more than my paycheck for 2 weeks of work.

Yea I'm still planning on going, but I only wish they had somthing like what the schools up here do for loans and burseries and grants, you have to apply for them.

Now in this idea you wouldn't have to apply for all the ticket levels the higher ones would be free of aplication and you would be able to get them instantly (or whenever the mail came in) however the lower levels would have an application deadline and only those who truly needed the lower price would get them.

Not sure how feesable this actually is but thought I'd put the thought out there.

Ah, Mush? Have you read the entire ticket page on the Main Site? There's a section about low income and scholarship tickets, which you apply for. And yes, those tickets have an application deadline. Get busy, love.

Why isn't life free?
