We don't want people standing in line, and if we sell tickets they go quick. We don't want to charge any more money than necessary to put it on, so raising rates is something we want to avoid if possible. A bigger venue also comes up, but at some point Ignite then becomes a "show" and not a chance to connect and learn. We already have people spooked by how large Ignite is, and the bigger it is the more people we get trying to give us sales pitches. We will keep evaluating as Ignite evolves to try and provide the best overall event we can. @Halo – This is an ongoing topic of discussion, and there is no easy solution.

How should I say this...this sucks!!! Well, I'm not sure I'm up for a Southwest Airlines-like "stand in line and hope for the best" the day of the event (What's your guess wrt by what time will there be >100 people in the "free" ticket line?) since it involves paying for a babysitter for a "we might be back real soon, or we might be back in a few hours...who knows" crap shot. Maybe I should just head over to Gila River and play the slots instead. Time for the IP team to get a bigger venue..and maybe start charging "real money" (vs $5 service fee) for the event. C'est la vie. :-( Wow…I’ve been driving all day, stop, get on-line to buy tickets (5pm now), only to be greeted with “sold out”. How should I say this…this sucks!!!
