Helping people to share their tickets?

[joshuaj]

Some people intentionally bought extra tickets, hoping to resell at a profit, but plenty of others have admitted to ordering extras just because they were afraid of not getting any at all. I'm looking forward to seeing how STEP will work, but in the meantime, here's a simple/stupid thought: what if people were given a chance, one time only -- perhaps in a week or two -- to return any tickets they got that they don't actually want?

Anyone who chose to do this would get a full refund on the ticket price (but not any processing fees) and their ticket would go to the next person in the lottery who wanted a ticket and didn't get one. This might reduce the number of people who have to resell their tickets in STEP, extending the benefits of the lottery system (which does have its benefits) as far as possible before resorting to peer-to-peer sales.

I think you just described... the STEP setup.

That's a good and well thought through post. Thank you.
See, not every post has to be a whinge!

Edited to add - yes CO, but give the poster some credit!

Oh, haha, is that how STEP is going to work? Sorry, I guess I didn't notice that they had shared any details on that. I assumed it was gonna be more of a stubhub-type thing.

Thank you for being a great human being and allow me to be the first to say I will buy any ticket you do not need that you put in the STEP program, 1 Ticket that is all, thank you kind one. I just hope there are more people out there with same attitude
