Subscription Ticket Distribution

[dpconnoisseur1]

With the constant increases in prices for all studio it seems that we need more and better choices for subscriptions. I'm not complaining about scene pricing just memberships and distribution choices. Currently the most economical ticket distribution are:

144 tickets for $79.90 which comes out to $0.55 a ticket (Ticket Membership)
250 tickets for $219.90 which comes out to $0.88 a ticket (Direct ticket)

The max subscription is 48 tickets a month and with LP original scenes average cost being about 4.2 tickets a scene which allows you to buy only about 11 scenes a month. The problem is that in August alone LP released 87 LP original produced scenes. I don't know why LP management is making high volume scene purchasers think twice about buying scenes instead of just buying. I hate being penalized for being a high volume purchaser. Yes I know LP allows you to reload your tickets but instead of paying $79.90 for 144 tickets this time you only get 120 tickets which comes out to be $0.67 a ticket and a penalty of 24 tickets per reload for some reason. I don't understand the reasoning for these decisions when the goal should be enticing their customers to purchase as much scenes as they want to without penalties. I have two concurrent membership going to increase my allotted monthly tickets and still I have to wait until Sept 21st and 30th before getting another monthly allotment. I will not start a 3rd subscription to purchase scenes when I have 192 tickets already waiting to be allotted to me. LP needs to be more flexible with its memberships and not penalize their high volume scene purchasers for wanting to buy more. Am I the only one that thinks this doesn't make sense ?

Absolutely, I struggled to vote because I'm not really sure where i sit with the options... What I'd like to see is vastly cheaper rates for high numbers of tickets. I cut down a few months ago with my spend based on this because I got sick of having to reload at expensive prices.

I think I'd like to see a reload option that's heavily discounted as long as you're already a monthly subscriber. That way LP keeps the same revenue stream, maybe even increases it slightly, and users get to actually get much more content not just slightly more content.

It is an ongoing absurdity that those who buy the most scenes pay the most per scene. It the the exact opposite of how every ither business runs.
Like you, I have had to make a second membership to avoid being penalised for the sin of being a good customer but, again like you, I still fall a bit short some months and apparently LP wantme to pay MORE per ticket on those occasions.
I try not to and definitely buy less scenes as a result.

Now the above is my thought process exactly! We don't know what LP needs to be profitable and continue developing the content we enjoy but if it is their 3 month $79.90 for 144 tickets membership option why punish customers who want to continue buying more content after exceeding their allotted amount ? No matter how I look at it, it does not make any sense to charge customers who wants more content a higher price per ticket of $79.90 for 120 ticket reload. That reload option should be heavily discounted not penalized since LP has a builtin restriction of only making the reload option available to members with less than 10 tickets left in their membership allotment. I'm sure LP has implemented this reload restriction for tickets hoarders trying to insulate themselves from further LP inevitable price increases but all it is doing is penalizing high volume purchasers of LP content. In an industry always crying about customers paying for the content they enjoy, LP has customers buying content and telling LP they want more of it but being penalized for wanting more. Just doesn't make sense.

My exact dilemma right now!!! I have 6 scenes that I would have already bought but can't because I refuse to create a 3rd membership and there is still 8 days left before my allotment where LP can release more Must Own scenes to add to my list. Those 6 scenes alone will use up 28.8 tickets of the scheduled allotment of 48 tickets. It just makes me so damn picky with whatever content I purchase now. It just doesn't make sense to penalize high volume scene purchasers.

Agree with all said above, I'm interested in management response to this complaint.
