Why do I do this? I'll break it down for you based on a truly horrendous experience I had in the summer of 2003. At the time, the huge outdoor amphitheater outside of Chicago in Tinley Park was known as the Tweeter Center. The Counting Crows and John Mayer were in the midst of a co-headlining tour and played to their largest paying crowds of their careers up to that point (approximately 30,000 seats were sold).
I scored a ticket in the twentieth row a few days earlier and I was delighted until I checked out. Face value on the tickets were $36.50 and somehow, my final bill was $59.50 for one ticket. How can this be? - Let me break it down for you.
