Are you against capitalising itself, or is this an isolated incident for you?

Rubbish; there's no fair way to do it other than the old fashioned box office sales. The method employed relied on gambling, and I wonder how many idiots are opening up terrifying mobile phone bills this month. There's no argument that the method of obtaining tickets doesn't fit the definition of "gambling", do you condone it? Especially a gambling competition that was unrestricted and open to any child or similarly irresponsible person with access to a mobile phone.
