Here’s another twisted new idea for selling tickets. Designer Gil Cocker has put some thought into it and decided to enliven the days of concertgoers till the end of days, by sending grass seeds along with tickets. The idea is simple; he wants each and every concertgoer to grow a plant that in turn will exhale more oxygen into the environment, as a lot of it is exerted during concerts. I would certainly say that the motive behind this system is good. However, the whole process might be a little taxing for quite a lot of people who might prefer an e-ticket over this method. Apart from that, the whole process of transporting these will give out more carbon dioxide and also be expensive, so the whole purpose is ruined, right? I personally think tickets made of recyclable materials would have done the job, but in case the designer was looking for creativity he should have ensured that the tickets were made out of something that would at least become fertilizer for the grass; now, that would have been cool!

Hey Nithya, I liked both your ideas, ”tickets made of recyclable materials” and also ”tickets that becomes fertilizer for the grass” :)
It’s strange that so many people want to be eco-friendly but come up with very unpractical ideas on how to do so. It’s become a fad and not a serious idea. Everyone wants to be green without understanding the logic or the purpose that needs to be put into it.
As for the fertilizer ticket..i really hope that is possible. Somehow, with the benefit of hindsight, buying manure to go to a concert doesn’t sound very appealing :P.
