Can anyone think of a reason why Gen Con is "sold out" of 4 day badges while individual badges for each day are still available?
Surely they are sold out only because attandance is capped?
And just as surely a 4 day badge would indicate attendance on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday?
But one can still add to the attendance of any day by buying a one day badge?
Not sure how that makes sense?
Imagine this....
You have a 100,000 person limit. This is the MAX number of attendees that you can have at the convention at one time. You also know that 80% of your attendees purchase 4 day badges and 20% only come for one day (but different days).
So, you set a limit of 80,000 4 day badges and 80,000 single day badges (20,000 each day).
Pretty easy to see how it sells out. They have to have badges available for both sets of attendees. They cant just sell 100k 4 day badges and tell the single day attendees "sorry we dont want your business".
Gencon did not do anything wrong on this one.
