This question was brought up some time ago. The ticket shop offers a "Supporter Ticket" allowing attendees to "pay it forward". People who lack money to buy a ticket at full price can get in touch to request a discount coupon. From other discussions I understand (but correct me if I'm wrong) this is based on the "honour system", so the bar is rather low for requesting a friends ticket.
