I have no desire to be gouged while fighting through thousands of people and wasting an entire day.

Amazing. It seems from the coach to the pizza maker they screw the fans.

In this day and age I have to ask if you're sure this is valid. Is Bill K another parody account? I don't even know how to check.

And if they want to collect this ridiculous charge then sue me.

I'm not bullshitting, I've stopped payment on a bottle of water.

I would have just walked out.
