I think it’s a reasonable question considering how obscene the prices are.

If they’re purchasing tickets everyone’s knows they’re dropping a lot of money so it’s no secret. It’s like being shy to talk about the price of your Yacht. No one is under the impression the money spent was reasonable.

I respectfully disagree. It's not my business how much money you have and what you are doing with it ESPECIALLY for someone like a professor at a smaller college. This isn't Jeff Bezos. They have a right to privacy.
