Existential morality 101

[Ghost]

No sorry - once you've paid your £25, then you can quite obviously afford it. So if you can't go, then the only moral thing is to forgo the entire sum.I'm quite frankly shocked to hear you suggest that people might get some personal benefit (such as enjoyment) out of the evening when as Eleanor has pointed out, all the people and organisations involved in setting it up have donated their products and services for free. If British Airways or the Silver Sturgeon were to find out that people were hoping actually to have a good time I'm sure they'd think twice about participating in anything similar in the future. After all this is for a charity; it would entirely immoral for anyone else to gain anything from the night.

If it's wrong to benefit by £10 by buying and reselling a ticket, then why is it OK to benefit from the function in other, non-monetary ways?

Discuss (if you want to :wink: )

ESG has a point.

Charity events can be used by singers, musicians etc.. to further their own careers, or by rich people to make tax helping donations of their spare change so they can say 'yes i do a lot for charity' and by punters who see events like that as a cheap quality night out and who wont then go if the main act pulls out. Its all happened. Or. Perhaps Im cynical ;)

Of course most of us really want to just help the charity and it wouldnt matter if it was a pie and eels buffet and a dodgy DJ who played nothing but 80's tracks and "Simply the Best" on the hour every hour.
