Kind of funny. The business school is having a halloween party. Pre-sale tickets are $20 and tickets at the door are $20.

Of all the schools, you would think that the business school would realize that the pre-sale price should ideally be lower than the at the door price.

What incentive do I have for paying early? Not that I am going to their party.. but still.

Responses:

what benefit do they receive by having people paying early? if people are willing to pay 20 at the door to go, why wouldn't they be willing to pay 20 - big time shamu Oct 25, 17:32 3
- Because people buy tickets and then sometimes end up not going. So they are missing out on those. Plus you get more people excited if some people - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 25, 17:45 1
  - You want to lock in as many people as possible to your party. Especially since other school are having parties as well with cheaper covers. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 25, 17:47
- Allows the organizers to budget. Spend more if pre-sales are high, spend less if pre-sales are low. -- nm - TWuG Oct 25, 17:33
