Security on buying Blizcon 2017 tickets

As anyone that has bought or tried to buy these in the past, it can be tricky. Basically there are limited tickets with only 2 dates to buy them and the websites used to buy are generally crash-happy machines with millions trying to use. An idea among my friends and myself is to make a paypal account, and put our collective money in it and have everyone have access. In the event one of us 10-15 people get lucky on the ticket buy, in the 30 seconds we have to get tickets we can buy for all. Two people in the group are highly against due to the worry of one person being untrustworthy and runs away with a lot of money and before we say "Well, you are SoL and buy your own" is there a way to add some kind of security or prevention to this?

You may have protection against the ticket seller but not from each other if you are pooling your money into the PayPal account if I understand your group set up correctly.  Do each of you have a PayPal account and everyone sends money into the one PayPal account that is getting the tickets?


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

there is always this issue-who watches the treasurer?

thats why in some company,the owner makes himelf the treasurer !

A business would issue drafts not checks,so the recipient deposits these drafts in their bank accounts and the banks will present these drafts to the treasurer t o be approved,only upon his approval,will the bank pays for these drafts.

may be have him pay with his credit card and a third party will reimburse him from the fund of another paypal account?
