We are seeing the festival vagabonds drawn to the event like flies. That's what is "utterly insane". And unfortunate for the event.

The level of pathetic desperation has gotten incredibly stupid.
People even flying in from other countries without tickets!!
If I had one to sell I'd be afraid to approach the hoards.

Of course they're flying in. I'd fly in too without a ticket if I'd planned to go this year.

...Main reason being that in order to get cheap flights from Quebec, I'd have had to have secured them long before Step was over or the OMG sale had started. (And by Cheap I also mean firmly non-refundable nor changeable. Pretty sure I'm not alone there.

What else are you going to do??? Stay home and sulk or keep swinging?

Tho frankly, I'd probably have spent the week swinging at the Morris instead of joining into the clusterfuck.

Agreed, but that is what the presale is for. :) Personally I would guess the number of tickets devoted to the presale will increase.

I bought presale when it was top tier price, but as it stands buying two now costs almost three.

And now both my adult kids want to go as well....

In 2014 roughly the advanced sale pays for the low income sale including the low income administrative costs.

It's not Sherpas, it's sherpas. "Sherpa" is an ethnic group and takes a capital S; "sherpa" is hijacked, appropriated word that means "to schlep with minimal compensation." Do you use "Sherpa" as your last name? Are you ethnically Sherpa? Do you speak Sherpa? Could I find something more significant to bitch about? Jesus.

I hope you find it.

I was a little surprised by my vehemence. I think fur is very sensual, and wonder if people can be weaned off it.
