Why not!?
We had a Golden Ticket entry the other year, sort of!
It would stop the special ones with loose connections and semi professional housemates and give us a better average of mixed housemates.
Issue 50 golden Tickets, either through buying an item in a store or other.
Then whittle down the number from that.
Only people that wanted to enter the show would try for a ticket anyway.
At the moment thousands queue for auditions when they have no chance.
