> but in SF there is/was an issue of club nights selling out, but having low attendance due to people buying tickets as an “option”.

As a bar/restaurant owner who sometimes host electronic parties, that sucks and does mess up a lot. But as a dance party attender, that sounds like a good thing, the parties tend to have way too high attendance, and if there is no space for people to actually move around and dance, I don't really know what the point of it even is anymore.

Affording tickets is already a first-world problem; I have no idea what level this is when not attending has some knock-on impact or attendance hurts another person's experience. Maybe y'all should plan to stay home and make a donation to the food bank...

I don’t disagree. Parties are often oversold and I may be overstating the under attendance problem.
