I’m surprised that it’s “perks” and not “get a ticket to the show” which is pretty much the only perk I would be interested in. Swag might be a nice extra but if I’m trying to get a performer to come to my town it’s to see them perform. Clearly I’m at least willing to front one ticket.

Why would I put up less than the cost of a ticket in exchange for a t-shirt or something for the privilege of buying a ticket when I could put up the cost of a ticket and a t shirt which surely would be more enticing?

In recent years artists have turned to selling VIP access as a major source of income on tour. In a lot of music scenes, this is normal and fans are really into it.

It says

>When the time comes, you and all other bidders can attend the show

Which I think implies anyone in the bid gets a ticket? I have no idea how you would get multiple ticket's though.

The current plan is to make the lowest bid amount the price to entry. So you'd be guaranteed a ticket if you placed that bid.
