Re: the charity aspect of the ball, I recall at least one event in the past where the charity aspect tied in to ticket price. Like, I know Blair did one once where the gimmick was a blood drive, and anyone who donated blood got their ticket comped, but if you didn't you could still buy one and attend that way.
This being Tony, though, maybe you could do something like a standard ticket and then like a VIP kind of pass? Standard ticket being reasonably priced for anyone to attend, but the bulk of the charity proceeds come out of the VIP stuff, which also nets the people who shell out for them some kind of super classy Stark-esque extravagant perks? And then that's the "fundraiser" from which you get the charity proceeds or something, maybe.
I think I'll go with this, then! Standard tickets can be like...what... an orange for adults? Free for the underaged? VIP can be...a... green? Idek how many cups of coffee that is.
As the city money conversion goes, I seem to recall orange is like a dollar? And then a green is...I think twenty, blue is fifty...lemme just go get the money chart BRB. >>
alkdjas LMAO OH MAN I kept thinking of a cup of coffee as being like... $5 because I get my coffee at Starbucks. OKAY THEN how about... regular is like... two greens. And a VIP pass is...a violet and a blue?
I dunno, I always just assumed that an orange was like a dollar for easy math and that the cup of coffee was like...your basic cuppa joe, IDK.
Yeah, I'd go at least a green for the standard ticket since, I mean, my middle school dances made me shell out at least five bucks a ticket and we're assuming this is a little above a middle school dance here. And then yeah, go money on the VIP ticket because, well, the VIPs will pay it. Probably the best way to do it is to look at the kind of stuff that will be available for people? And then figure, like, okay, what's the value difference between the basic package and the superfly tricked-out cool people package, and price it accordingly.
Or maybe that's too much thinking about a fun little event and you should just charge whatever you want, go wild.
I actually like trying to work this out in a reasonable way though! I don't know what a good dividing line is between the two tickets, but I'm sure I'll think of something. Hell, maybe even the-- indigo? Is that the most important one? Especially if he's gonna throw in tech for it.
And the universe was like where is Pepper to keep things like this from hitting the final print.
Indigo's like half a month's rent, I think, so yeah, that's getting up there. But oh my god, the promise of Stark tech in exchange for the ticket, I am in love with this idea and not just because Rosella hates technology, oh no. I think you are on an excellent track here. o/
TONY STARK → REASONABLE. ...PFFFFFFFFTAHAHAHAHA no.
A device that can hover in midair and follow you around for ultimate stalking potential (and further assurance that you can never get rid of it ever again)?
See and now I just pictured him assigning, like, a unique ID to every one of the passes in his master database and it turns out they're all Thundercats references or something. "Oh, good, Cheetara and Panthro just checked in."
I am the most horrible person, never listen to anything I say.
IDK MAYBE THEY MAKE GREAT GIFTS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TROLL THE EVER-LIVING HELL OUT OF THEIR ACQUAINTANCES?

Yessss I don't know what kind of tech but something incredibly useful. An upgraded device? A device that turns into a headset? A phone like his?
