If I joined a group for NYCC how much is the most I might have to spend?
Considering the price for regular VIP is $195, and Ultimate is $495; you may have to spend at least 200+. Also since I'm guessing if we were to buy in group you may have to spend more depending on how many tickets you're getting.
Well, that's just the problem. My credit card has a limit so I couldn't buy for 10 people if it's $495 each. I could buy for 5 at most at that price. If I'd have buy for more people than that if I joined a group it's best I don't join one then.
So the first piece we have to establish and understand is this thread should really be called NYCC VIP Ticket Buying Group because that's really what everyone on here who would need help or a buying group would be a part of. You don't need a buying group for a regular 4 day, 3 day or single day ticket ... well at least not yet!
That being said, I recall the VIP limit was 4 per person. So you would need to be able to cover between $800 to $2000 transaction (4 Special Access VIP tixs to 4 Ulitmate Access VIP tixs).
If you can only afford the one for yourself or even just one other person, that sort of defeats the purpose, benefit or goal of a buying group. The whole point is banking and hoping that someone makes it in, buys for themselves and can now buy for 3 others. If not, there's an equity issue ... one would be asking others to do something for them that they're unable/unwilling to do for others. Very counter to the purpose of "Buying Group."
Now there is a work around but it's even more predicated on the trust system ... Get one of the members you are buying for to use their credit card. So if you get "in" then call/text/contact a person in need and have them put up their credit card. The BIG trust factor is they have to communicate their credit card and personal info to that person who will enter it. It's asking a lot, but it can/does work.
So my apologies if I'm speaking out of line or turning anyone off, but if you're unable to buy for others (regardless of reason), you really probably shouldn't be part of this "buying group."
So if I understand right if I just wanted regular 4 days I wouldn't need to join a group and I could just buy some the day they go on sale?
Also if you were not a vip last year you probably won't be able to purchase vip tickets before the general public.Maybe we need a separate buying group for last years vip badge holders first.
