From Kim D: Play Tickets

my husband and i wanted to see a play on sunday.
we didn't have tickets and hoped that they would have them at the box office right before the show.
so we drove down to the mark taper and went to the box office, the lady said they are sold out for the evening.
without any attachment or disappointment, we walked away from the theatre when a nice young man, an usher, stopped us and told us
that some people left tickets because they couldn't make it to the show. he showed us where they were placed, which was
under a sign in front the the theater. amazed, we happily grabbed the tickets and thanked the kind man and went inside.
we were ushered into orchestra seats, the perfect good seats. the tickets were selling for $75 each and we got in for free! haha.
and the play was very good. this continues...during intermission we went down to the garage to the car to pay, we were parked
in a vip spot because we were rushing to make it to the play, when we got there no one was around. a brief moment later a nice man
who worked there came by and said, "don't worry about it, next time!"
we were ready to pay the $10 for the best parking spot in the garage, and yet he told us not to pay! free again! pretty amazing! but normal. ;)

so after all the money we saved, we bought an expensive bottle of champagne with dinner and celebrated!!
