Since you can make money off them. Capitalism at it’s best.

This isn’t unusual—a celebrity can only sign so many books in a short amount of time. This particular store isn’t doing the bracelet thing (where people show up and camp outside the night before, etc.), they are doing a ticket system. They aren’t allowing people to bring their own books for security reasons (and to make bigger sales for themselves) so you have to purchase a book in advance. Instead of getting the book, you get a ticket. On the day of the signing, you bring your ticket to get in, and when you get close to your turn, you turn in your ticket for your book, give it to Sarah for signing, say hi, we love you SAVE AMERICA FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILD PLEASE!! and move on. So technically it’s not really a ticket for the event like a concert ticket or something.

That’s what I was thinking. I was going to go but had no idea you had to have tickets. Oh well, guess I’m not going.
