For the Admins - Would it Not be possible to have a 1 day Ticket Amnesty ?

Then again I don't really support this because members would do the whole black market thing and sell/buy tickets. Which is not cool. :/

The only way to do it without a blck market getting started would be to send the tickets to a mod and have them send the tickets to players?? Which I doubt would happen.

This already happens tho, people already sell Fair Collectables, one person buys it, and then sells it to someone who didnt have tickets. So not really much of a difference
 
Yes it would probably be abused as f... you are right unless they made a rule against it or made some advanced sending system

I am only talking about a one day period for this to happen perhaps the last day the fair items would be available, it would only be for the unlimited items, there will be no limited stock left even if there is a restock which is likely to be for the major prize winners and not for the general public.

There will be no black market involved. If someone wants an unlimited feather or balloon they can get it easily enough now, all they have to do is find a member who has tickets but isn't interested in collectibles or the raffles and is willing to purchase a fair item and then sell it to them. There are plenty around.

Absolutely not, you have to earn your own tickets, free loaders go no where in this world.

Not exactly freeloaders if people just need 1 or 2 tickets and considering how very generous the community on bell tree is most who need those few tickets have probably helped others out on here themselves with free AC items, villagers, BTB or something else, I certainly have many times and really resent the freeloader comment. Some of us were unable to fully enter all the contests so missed opportunites, BiggKitty is just suggesting a lovely way for willing participants to help others out with unwanted tickets that would otherwise be wasted.

It's true that problems with selling may arise from it though, but people are apparently already selling the collectables. I would really like a green feather but I'm 2 tickets short, I wouldn't want to ever sell it on but maybe ticket transfers should be reserved for the patch that can't be sold on to get around the problem. If that were to happen I'd give my tickets to someone needing the patch rather than waste them.

Well, people can easily negotiate a deal by PM, which mods and admins do not have access to (this was confirmed by Jer in April), and then send the ticket(s) to a mod who is ignorant to the under-the-table handoff.

It's just one day so it's not like they will be able to raise a rate for the tickets

That was supposed to be a sarcastic post.

Mods and admins can read PMs
 
Another suggestion then, to avoid any malpractice over tickets being sold under the table.

People willing to participate in donating their spare tickets enter the number tickets they are willing to donate to a special thread.

A separate thread started with people who would like a fair patch but for various reasons have been unable to purchase one.

The spare tickets donated converted into fairground patches.

If number of requests outstrips patches, then a random generator used to determine who gets one.

RESULT
Spare tickets get used in a productive manner with no one making any profit as patch is non giftable so unable to be sold on for gain.

Probably the best solution, I'd participate :).
 
Wouldn't it be very unfair to the people who already bought their collectibles for others to get them for a discounted price or not having to worry about supply?

Well the last suggestion was just concerning the fairground patch and not any of the other collectibles, the patch is unlimited supply, non giftable and only worth 5 tickets, so I would not have thought people would get too disturbed at such a small item being given to people, who would in turn be unable to sell the item on for profit.

i take offense to that as a super holder

nonsense aside i thought the staff promised a way of users being able to relieve their extra tickets during the final days of the fair

Last year they did. It was a raffle. 1 ticket = 1 entry, and it raffled off various feathers and other prizes iirc.

The difference between then and now is that BiggKitty is suggesting we trade tickets to other people as an alternative way to get rid of them.
