If you guys go back to the beginning, people have gotten tickets from this list.
The list was a way to keep things "fair". So that people waiting for someone to give tickets out of the kindness of their hearts didn't get skipped over b/c someone posted about unused tickets when they weren't online. Just a way to be fair. But it's never anything that should be relied upon, b/c it depends on people not using them and coming here to give them away!
The person at the top of the list could have had tickets at least two times over, if not more, but she doesn't respond to PMs. And her username in the list is spelled wrong; if you go back and find her posts, she is DisDancerina, not DisDanceria.
Sometimes people just don't want them or use them, so they figure they'll let someone else have them.
And sometimes people don't know about it, have tickets of some sort and don't need a package, or don't want to buy a package, so they don't get the package.
This list is supposed to help those people meet up. Fairly.
I've never really been a part of this list, but I've watched it...and I'm not 100% sure there's anyone minding the store anymore...I would imagine that people wanting to get in on it could just copy the list, paste it into their own post, and add themselves at the end.
The only thing I don't understand about this list is why people put their dates of travel. It's based solely on who is at the top of the list (who has been waiting longest), not trip date, so I think the trip dates just muddle things.

I don't mean to soundsnarky, but is there really any point to this thread any more? The people in the top two spots have been there for months and, I assume, haven't gotten tickets. The only movement the list has had has been from those people that have had their trips come and go.
I don't think this list is working any more.

I guess I'm confused - unless you own DVC, why don't you (general you) book a package that includes these tickets?I admit I only read page one and then the last page, so maybe it was discussed somewhere between pages 1 and 34...
(I'm not trying to be snarky at all - just trying to understand this!)
I honestly don't know if we'll use ours or not. If not, I can at least offer mine. I can't speak for my friend. But I won't know until I come home, so no promises.
