1. This is the most important point: most of the people who bought the 19,000 RMB ($2,750) tickets are friends of the Shenzhen BC organizers. In fact, no one really thinks that having dinner with the developers is indispensable or very important. The buyers are interested in helping the organizers——their friends, to share the costs. These high-priced tickets were in high demand and sold out quickly. What I see here is mutual support among friends, rather than people paying this amount just to have dinner with the developers. 2. In fact, the purpose of the 19,000 RMB ($2,750) tickets is to allow more people to attend. Not everyone is that wealthy. 3. One 19,000 RMB ticket can help cover the cost of numerous 139 RMB ($19) tickets. Without the 19,000 RMB tickets, the 139 RMB tickets would be unattainable. 4. The total cost of this Shenzhen BC event is as high as 800,000 RMB ($110,178.4). Without the high-priced tickets, the minimum ticket price would be much higher than 139 RMB. 5. This is more like a way to use the money from the wealthy to subsidize the less affluent. A small number of people might be at a disadvantage (though in reality, they are not), creating a positive cycle that helps more people.
