Although some readers suggested that reselling tickets to "Evening with AK and friends" could be a lucrative activity, I didn't take it seriously.
A black market for "Evening with AK and friends"?
Who would do something like this?
I just found out that it is happening:
It is actually happening!
I will tell you right now that "Evening with AK and friends" is not worth paying $100 a ticket for. Well, at least I don't think so.
It irks me to think that black marketers are actually profiting from this when I am doing this for charity.
$65 for the black marketer and $27 for charity (after costs)?
This is so wrong.
There will always be another "Evening with AK and friends".
So, say "NO" to black marketers.
If you have bought tickets from black marketers, please tell me.
I don't know if it is possible to find out but I want to know who they are.
If you are a black marketer, I am appealing to you to stop doing what you are doing and return the tickets for a refund. Please.
There are many readers who are genuinely interested in attending my event and they should not have to pay more than $35 a ticket for it.
Regular readers know that ASSI is not about money, money and only money.
It is also about decency and charity.
I am very disturbed.
Please help to spread the message and I hope that, in the end, decency prevails.

UPDATE (11.40pm):
We have tracked down the black marketer and will process a refund and void the ticket.
Readers who are still interested in getting a ticket should check the ticketing site often in case some tickets are refunded.
Do not pay more than $35 for a ticket.
