Buy more tickets than you need and resell the extra's to recoup your money. There is always demand for good seats, you will actually recoup the fee and defer a portion of the cost of your tickets.

The fallacy in your position is the demand for $100. tickets FAR exceeds the supply. If 10,000 people apply for 3000 limited 100seats, CDI collects 350k for nothing. You have NO control over who gets the $100 seats, or if you are ever in line for one.

THAT is not the same as PAYING for a guaranteed ticket...no matter where you get a seat...if you pay you get a seat or a refund if none available/acceptable.

CDI is a pure scam.
