Whats is everyone's experience with selling extra seats the day of the show for face value plus fees?

It really depends on the show- I paid real face value (as in face plus extortion charges) after walking away more than once even after the show started in Cinci this weekend, but I also bought a pair of seats at Great Woods in the lot for $100 (I had a ticket, but made a really stupid decision to take a date), and didn't even try to find a buyer for the ticket I had.

But if you're referring to Indy tickets, I was just getting ready to call you!

Well, I hope the date was worth it!!

Ok, I met the guy on the cruise (not the current FOTM, whom you'll probably meet at Wrigley), not realizing that he was on the cruise because his friends are PHs and it's a great deal (because the group's so large), instead of being a real PH. So we're at the tailgate, and I find out he's a Buffett Virgin. So I found tickets, and the stupid f$^%&# ruined my show by being a jackasshole.

It's ok. We broke up 3 days later. I've sworn off taking dates to Buffett shows I don't know how many times, but I keep making one last exception. If the current FOTM makes Wrigley not so fun (which I doubt, I know for a fact that he's truly a PH), I'll just have to demand that Kevin go with me from now on.
