The demand for tickets to see Bill Gates address Cornellians in what will likely be a packed Bailey Hall auditorium Wednesday is causing some to pay premium prices for what were originally free tickets.
After waiting in line for hours to receive tickets for Gates’ lecture last Tuesday and Thursday, some students are using Facebook to scalp the free tickets, with some prices reaching over $200.
