There are various blogs about Dream Night floating about, and some IBOs are claiming that the event is sold out, while others are discovering that there are still tickets available for purchase.
I have no idea why certain Independent Business Owners (IBOs) avoid answering when asked how much Dream Night tickets cost, instead pointing customers to the World Wide Destructive Bastards website. According to some bloggers, this information is not available for viewing by non-members of the media. There will be no purchase. WWDB elite membership includes access to top-secret material on their website without the need for a password.
It's a little strange to make up information regarding whether or not an event is sold out. I mean, what does it matter? However, lying is all part of the game when it comes to playing the Amway game. Pretending everything is fine when the reality is that the IBO is drowning in credit card debt, has no outside clients, and has no downline is part of the game. Fake it until you make it, as they say. It is common IBO reaction to say that "business is booming."
So, what exactly is the main secret behind the price of tickets?
In 1994, the Eagles were on their Hell Freezes Over reunion concert tour, which was a huge success. I was successful in obtaining tickets, which cost $95 each. Around the same time, tickets for the Rolling Stones' Voodoo Lounge tour went on sale, and I took advantage of the opportunity and acquired two tickets for $35 each. My husband was perplexed as to why there was such a significant difference in pricing. I pointed out that because the Eagles are a better band, their tickets are more expensive. Perhaps the venues played a bigger role in this than we realised. The Rolling Stones were playing in a larger stadium with more fans and hence more revenue. If I can recall exactly how much I spent for tickets, I have no difficulty disclosing the amount. For some reason, those two shows stand out in my memory the most right now.
The price of Dream Night tickets this year appears to be a well guarded secret. Two years ago, tickets were either $65 or $75 depending on the location. I just can't remember which one, but there you have it for under ten dollars.
Why IBOs aren't able to respond honestly is beyond me: "My Dream Night ticket cost $75. It's possible that the fee will be different depending on where your event is taking place. “Would you like me to check into it on your behalf?”
It appears to be straightforward. In the same way that someone from another region of the country may say: "Hey, I spent two hundred dollars for my ticket to see the Eagles."
In fact, we weren't even permitted to purchase our own tickets to Dream Night. In order for him to purchase the tickets, we had to inform the Platinum piece of shit how many tickets we wanted well in advance and provide him with cash. Based on the number of tickets he sold, I believe he received some complimentary seats and kept the remainder of the proceeds in his pocket.
Tex is likely to have some insight into why the upline preferred to handle all Dream Night transactions rather than allowing the downline to purchase through the web page and will share his thoughts in a remark.
I'll go into greater detail on Dream Night another time. I'm just curious as to what you think:
1. Why the ticket price is kept such a closely guarded secret from the public.
2. Why IBOs lead customers to the WWDB website in order to find out how much a ticket costs when such information is not available on the website.
3. Why is it necessary to mislead people about whether or not the event is sold out?
