Contact info@atheistfoundation.org.au and put your name on the waiting list.

Why would someone sell their ticket on ebay and not through the AFA with a big waiting list?

[hooa]

Hi Logic

The seller probably isnt aware that there is a waiting list ... I wonder how many others have tickets they cant use and arent sure how to get rid of them ...

[owheelj]

Also couldn't it sell for a lot more on ebay? I was academically thinking about how much I would sell my ticket for the other day. Couldn't decide on a price, but it would have to be in the thousands :P

I agree Jeremy. Given the waiting list and general panic seen from those who have missed out, I reckon that bloke will sell his ticket for quite a bit more than he paid for it.

I couldn't imagine letting mine go though. It would have to be something extraordinary to keep me away :D

I just spoke with the guy who sold his ticket on ebay.
Lovely person may I add.

He felt bad about selling it auction style but he is going to the USA and needed the money. He is tornado chasing and is driving through a few states. Wait there is more...he has bought a Delorian and will bring it back with him to Australia!

Anyway he sold the ticket for $530.00.

Far out hey!

OMDOG!! That's amazing but then again, just goes to show how sought-after these tickets are.

I have never been so pleased in my life that I got in early for something. I'm usually a bit of a ditherer but not this time! :D

I wonder if Hooa ended up getting a ticket?

First, I have absolutely no objections to him selling his ticket on ebay for a profit.

But, the story that he had to sell it auction style because he 'needed the money', but he can afford to go to the US tornado chasing, buy a Delorian, and import it back to Australia just doesn't add up. :confused:

I'm closing this thread now as the eBay ticket has been sold.

Speculation on the seller can continue elsewhere if people are so inclined :)
