* Not everyone who wants to come can (or even should) be accommodated, * Making the camp big enough to accommodate all would spoil its vibe, * More camps, in more locations, more frequently, is the best solution, * There is no system for ticket allocation that's fair to everyone, * Students deserve special treatment (as we see in this round for example), * A lottery would fail to discriminate between people who care enough to focus on getting a booking from those who are a bit meh about the whole thing anyhow, * Multiple separate ticket releases allow folk who care and who intend to get a ticket but for genuine reasons fail to, to have a second and/or third chance. Someone else may add further bullet points. Suffice to say that many alternative methods of allocation were mooted and discarded as being equally unfair and/or infeasible. If you want to propose a system you think might be better, please read the history first to see what arguments might have been raised against it.
