Instead, what if i could make all the plans, select the tickets and put up a page with a time limit, lets say 48 hours, where people can submit a payment for their own ticket. They have until the end of the limit to back out, and when the clock strikes zero 12 tickets are purchased, and I don’t have to front money for anyone. The value to the initiator is obvious, they don’t have to hunt down deadbeats.  It will take the guess work out of all the participants, who can back out of the ticket at any time. Everyone wins. Throw in a link to a google wave, (is it possible to embed those?) and you’ve got a great little app with a mini community. Maybe you could even do this all through facebook. We would have to charge merchant fees to all charges, which would be a down side, but we could charge a small processing fee per payment (think a few cents).

Has anyone done anything like this? What do you think.
