What about the over crowding of standard class carriages on trains, while the first class carriages remain empty? The people paying less are penalised by not paying more as they do not get the full service they have paid for Ie a seat. Also with Festival or concert tickets, if tickets are reserved for a higher price range, that limits the amount of people who can pay the lowest rate, forcing some people to buy more expensive tickets if their price bracket is more expensive or to go without. Why not just equalise the quality of the product or have a ballot to decide who gets what? If there is a high demand for the lower price range why should a few rich people be allowed to enjoy a service more just because of their wealth when more people could enjoy it?
By saying "Money = better standard" you effectively deny people access based on their wealth, which is classist behaviour.
However: As people have earned their money they have the right to spend it as they please, and some things do have a higher value cost, which means they should have a higher price. But should someone pay more money for medicine that works better, offering a better life to a rich person?
And with regards to a better product...... does it always equal one?
The poor man does lose.

I agree with most of that and so do the people who decide on these sort of things probably, but they're still implemented in order to make money... so getting rid of them is probably just not pratical since in many cases they're needed just for the organisers/clubs or whatever to stay afloat.

That's the basis our whole society works on, if that wasn't the case it would be communism.

No, it's not communism, providing access to people is a socialist idea, you can't just tar every idea with a red communism brush to make it seem bad. I'm not suggesting redistributing wealth or setting up a state or everyone owning the means of production or free access to anything. Learn the difference.

Yeah he's right, some christian academic theologian, with his arguments to prove the existence of an afterlife have made me hate religion somewhat.
Re: i43 - Possible new venue
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this thread supposed to be about the move to Telford? Instead I just see nerd rage probably down to not being able to afford those higher luxuries...

Re: i43 - Possible new venue
I partly agree, you see this with big sporting events now where true fans that follow teams week in week out can;t afford to go to finals as the ticket prices are just too high. But if you have the more money you get better shit, just a fact of life.
And pro tip if your on the train and first class is empty just go sit in there, usually the ticket people don't bother moving you if its empty

With 11,600 square metres of space, two massive gaming halls, a separate exhibition & live finals arena, luxury clan-boxes and fantastic accommodation options, the new home of the Insomnia Gaming festival has so much to offer!
With the expansion to 3000 players, and the extension of our awesome 20% off Early Bird promotion, this really is a great time to get involved in the biggest lan in the UK!
Head on over to our
Tickets Page for more information on tickets, and secure your seat!
Also, don't forget to check out our
Flickr Photo Collection for more images of the new venue.
Huge thanks to Phatass, WhiteKnight & DaveP for giving their time & effort to make this video possible!

I already asked if chalex or someone with a proper camera can film stuff and I'll make a video out of it.
Chalex said yes but im suspicious he will not agree at the time.
