I'm wondering about the economics of selling tickets for mana. Many attendees might have earned enough Mana previously that they didn't need to pay much or any cash to get their ticket. Others might have gotten mana for their ticket more cheaply from other users. It could be costing Manifold so much that they either don't offer tickets for Mana in the future, or charge a lot more in Mana relative to cash.
Resolves YES if tickets to Manifest 2024 can be paid for in Mana, and the Mana cost of the ticket is no more than 1.2x the equivalent cost in USD.
(I'm not sure I'm saying the last part right. If the ticket costs $250 and Manifold's still selling 100M for $1, the ticket also has to cost 250 x 100 x 1.2 = 30,000M or less)
Resolves N/A if there's no Manifest 2024.
1,000
3.00@Capresis this can resolve YES. some people have bought their tickets entirely using mana.
from the checkout page:
from manifestconference's transaction history, people paying the full price of tickets (full & student).
(this wasn't available when i was buying my early bird ticket, oops, but people are successfully buying tix with mana in full so this can resolve YES)
@Ziddletwix In my case I would’ve bought an early bird ticket in mana but since that wasn’t an option and I don’t have nearly enough mana for standard I probably won’t be able to attend :(
I could have sworn I saw this mentioned elsewhere, but on the ticket checkout page there is a mention for sending mana for the full cost of the ticket, instead of just a discount, and the mentioned promo codes work. I tested with the standard ($399 / managram39900) and supporter ($1,999 / managram199900) and both worked.
@Austin wanted to make it only possible to buy tickets to manifest 2023 with mana; unless he decides to have some change of heart, the SEC comes after manifold, or i for some reason have incredibly strong opinions against using mana[1], manifest 2024 will let you buy tickets with mana.
[1] i don’t. i’m pretty strongly in favor of keeping the same system as last year, where you’re “gently prompted” to use mana, with the prominent option to use a normal credit card/debit card setup.
