Sometimes Things Turn Out Surprisingly Well

Sometimes things turn out surprisingly well.

For the past week I have been uncertain what to do with 2 tickets to see Johnny Mathis at the Kravis last night.

I bought them last month before my girlfriend Fran took ill.

My choices were do nothing and take the loss of $104.00, find someone wanting to buy them,
take someone with me to see the show,
go to the show and see if I could find someone needing just one and using the other myself,
or sell both and go home.

I decided to go to the Kravis Center and see how things would turn out. I stood out front and repeatedly called out to people “ 2 tickets for tonight’s show, take one or take 2”. After about an hour I got little interest as most everyone had just what they needed. I thought the fact that the tickets were for the 3rd level above the Orchestra may have turned away the few that made any inquiry at all although I was prepared to negotiate the price.

About 15 minutes before showtime a couple stopped to ask what the tickets were. It turned out they had one but needed two. We agreed to make a swap of my two tickets 3 levels above the Orchestra for their one ticket In The Orchestra dead center, 6 rows from the stage.

Ticket reads ORCHTR Row: FF Seat: 108 $125.00
I thoroughly enjoyed the show and bought Fran a CD.
