The Price of a Ticket
The lady in line with me at Subway has on an orange Auburn sweatshirt.
Did you go to Auburn? I ask her.
No, I'm just an Auburn fan. Do you go to the games? She asks me.
Yes, but I am not a season ticket holder. Are you?
Yes, I am, but I'm not sure for how much longer. I give $1,100 a year to the Greater Auburn Fund for the privilege, and for next year the price has gone up to $60 per ticket. I buy 5 with my tax refund, but if I don't get a tax refund to cover it, I won't be buying for this year. My family will not be happy, but they may need to chip in some money to keep the season tickets coming.
"Good luck" is all I can think to say as we part company, me with my meatball sub.
