The Irrelevant Ticket

Hello. Our fundraising dinner plans are well under way. We've contacted last year's attendees to inform them they have first choice as to whether they want to go again or not. If they don't pay us by the end of the month, we're going to go to the waiting list people. We've been fortunate enough to have a huge demand for our event, so losing some people is not a big concern.
Our process this year (thank goodness) is to make it the same as a Ticketmaster. Instead of "holding" tickets for people, we need to see cash or a cheque. No money, no tickee.
We're slightly different, however, because we record who is coming to the dinner. In fact, with our process, the actual ticket is irrelevant. Why? Because people have to check in when they arrive at our event. We know who's coming, so why have a ticket? I have no idea.
Look for things in your life that exist for no reason. Most are invisible, yet still occupy us. It's a fascinating exercise.

Regards,
Irrelevant
