no one "deserves" to get ripped off for three times the price of the normal ticket cost, period. then again, our views on it are obviously very different.
it isn't random guy #7's fault that you decided to buy a plane ticket for a trip you obviously can't afford, so i don't buy the "it's ok because i need money!" spiel. you could have thought ahead and waited till you had the money, worked some extra hours at work, or a variety of other things. sure, they might not have bought the ticket when they should have (for a variety of reasons, i'm sure not all were "omg! i'll just wait till the last minute and hope for the best"), but it doesn't mean that you are obligated to rip them off.
i know i'm the minority on this way of thinking (as many people in this thread are doing the same thing), so don't think my opinion on this is just aimed at you. yours just happens to be the most disgusting instance, i think, as you have inflated the price three times what it should be. even more so because this is (or used to be, i don't know half the people posting now) a very tight knit community here, and you are advertising the ripoff price in the thread, for others in this community. i personally would be embarassed to be asking that much of fellow TAs, and just sell it at the door to some random person if it came down to that.
thanks again, serge, for hooking me up for the normal cost of the ticket and not gouging my wallet for your own personal gain. it's appreciated.
