Selling Tickets?

[philstar22.livejournal.com]

So my dad and I were planning on going this year. However, unforseen medical expenses mean that we can no longer afford the hotel or air fair. So I'm going to need to sell our tickets. But I have no idea how to do this.

We bought them in January, so at the $95 rate.

Thank you - I also completely respect the people who volunteer, which is why I don't like it when corporate policies are blamed on how its just too hard to expect the volunteers at "a fan run con" to do x, y, and z....

Someone at Dragoncon has made the decision that ticket transfers are not profitable. Its not an unreasonable choice, and its not fair to pin it on volunteers just not wanting to do the work - that's why I don't like "its a fan run con" trotted out as an excuse. It has nothing to do with fans just not manning up for the grunt work, its very much a cost decision and the for profit con should own the fact that they prefer to not spend the money on it.

They make money and turn a profit. I hate that any and all issues get turned into "its fan run so you have to lower your expectations even though you're a paying customer, and if you complain, you're just shitting on a fellow fan who volunteered".

No. This was a corporate decision, and management needs to own it. I'd respect the decision a lot more if someone running Dragoncon would just cop to the fact that they thought it was too big a waste of time and didn't want the hassle instead of suggesting thye just couldn't manage because its fan run and no one was willing to step up.
