Don't think its even worth responding to you, but in the eventuality our kids end up competing together in sports or the arts, I hope you are teaching your children more than what you are conveying in this message anonymously.

We all understand that it is a fundraiser, and that there is a cost associated. However, sliding scales, or pay as you can, access should also be a consideration so that its not the "haves" vs the "have nots".  Everyone in the school should feel welcome, and the cost of attendance should be approachable for all. Note that other posters have commented on how they have made tickets available for teachers, other families, so that they can also attend.[/quote]

OP, lots of school face the issue of balancing fundraising with inclusivity. There's no right or wrong. No matter what volunteer auction committees do, someone won't like it or will have a better idea.

As a recovering volunteer of public and private school auctions, I think it would be nice if you find like-minded parents and offer to actually organize it next year.

Or you can ignore the fundraising and remember that it's all well-intentioned. Everyone is free to make their own choices and it's really nobody's business.

Whether it's $1 Capri Sun or $1,000 Principal for a Day (hate those), isn't it nice to see people being generous?
