I have gone thru all the posts and am trying to find the Sheraton that has the $79 rate. Am coming in a day early and would like to take advantage of it. Maybe that good rate is just gone.

Any assistance is appreciated. thnx.

Question - since this is a non-profit event, should there be private "offers" to sell one's ticket (even if at a potential loss)? I certainly would hope that this doesn't end up as a StubHub for sold out FT events.

I never thought that an FT event would give rise to arbitrage opportunities.

Next time let's buy all the tickets and offer them for 150% of face! ^

Of course, we'll take a bath if the event ends up like the Star MegaDo 5 and we get left holding tickets we can't sell!

not going to happen.

If anyone here has paid more than the offer that mmerkin800 has put forth, please advise me via PM.

Judging from the sell outs every year, go ahead, make their day.
They can always open another seminar on same dates, different value. The charity receipients will love you for buying 600 tickets.

Is there a waiting list. I would like to attend. Thank you lynn

Welcome to Flyertalk Lynn.

No waiting list.
Only way to get a ticket to this event is if someone can't go and offers the ticket to someone else. (there is a $20 transfer fee to do so).
In order to contact someone who is offering, you'll have to use their email which you can find in the user's profile.
