[quote=Anonymous]You are right. There should be a mechanism for those who truly cannot afford to attend the auction to come. But in reality that is a very small number of families (1% are economically disadvantaged but probably more can't afford a $75 random expenditure). The tickets, however, are not out of line with other schools and at the $75 you can get a ticket for (not the $100 closer to the event) not out of line with what the vast majority can afford. There are the few here (and I think the initial poster falls in this category) that may not want to spend the money on it, but that is a choice. I was more responding to how the initial post read to me - "I want to come but I don't want to spend that much money." Or "I wish this event was cheaper and more casual, but I don't volunteer to help organize it." [/quote]
