Naw, just get "honorable pushers" like the ones they use on the Tokyo subway to cram more people in the park. ;)
The Mole has a good idea. I propose "the Gonch theory" - at least until he comes along to refute it.... ;)
RAISE the ticket prices until the demand and supply balance out...economics says it will work.....and therefore, so do I. :)
Too bad the park doens't attract vistors OTHER than the lunar new year, so raising ticket prices all around wouldn't help, and rasing them now would look bad. But of course, I'm someone on a message board, what do I know?
