We are only talking about auctions, because the number of people who can visit certain parks is lower than those parks can admit.
No matter how you shuffle, auction or raffle the tickets, that doesn't increase their supply.
So by your metric, all methods fail?
If the market clearing price for tickets would be so high that poor people couldn't afford to win an auction, then in the alternative that they get lucky and win a raffle, their best course of action would be to sell the ticket on the secondary market and enjoying the money.
Unless, of course, you ban poor people from re-selling their tickets. I mean, they most likely would spend it all on booze, wouldn't they? /s
> Or we're left with needing charity to step in and buy tickets on behalf of the needy.
Give poor people money. They know best what they need.
