Oh, yeah. I did mean to say something along the lines of this does lead to more benefit for the rich, less benefit for the people willing to wait in long lines. But I think that it would also/still lead to more people overall being benefited than under the status quo.
I also meant to say something about how this is like/not-like ticket-scalping for sports events. In that case, I'd favor the stadium having a two-tier system: one chunk of tickets that the stadium prices as it wants, and can be resold (scalped) freely, and some percentage of tickets that are sold by lottery but where ID would be required at entrance (i.e., no resale). But I also think that sports stadiums are a weird monopoly case where some amount of public-access is a good thing.
