Sigh.... no its not “ticketed” as such. Its used by dubby convention staff for their families. The department heads use them. So whoever is heading up the attendants, who ever is chairman, the bethel speakers etc etc.... this dosent mean its not a case “some are more equal than others” as it clearly is, but its not being sold. Its being given those who work for free or have kissed enough ass to rise up in the ranks.
I always HATED that, especially when i was elder. I argued every year that nobody should be granted special privileges just because they were working, it was all volunteer, everyone donated to keep the lights on and rent the facility and so on.... i always proposed letting the elderly or infirm use them. It seemed to me that their age and years of faithfulness should have entitled them to a small token of appreciation. And every year a few agreed... but not enough. Guess who didnt? The people who would have lost their special sky boxs and had to sit with the riff raff in the regular seats.
