That’s not “fair”. Not everyone is able to get to the park at 4 am to be first in line. The current system is the “fair”-est.
Just imagine if Best Buy had a door buster for a 100” 8K TV for $500 and everyone on line had to pay. But there are only 100 available. And they had a lottery to see which of the 1000 people online got one. But if you didn’t get lucky enough to win the TV, they gave you a toaster instead?
it’s the same thing. They are asking you to commit your ticket to win a lottery.
