Did you know that you pay 220/17=$12.94 per game for each of your season

games next year, the per game price would jump to a whopping $13.75.

Wow.  Thanks guys.  {:>)
I mentioned my "cheaper tickets" comment to Lois, and she said, "I'm
the one doing the checkbook.  You never even see the tickets.  If you
had asked me first I would have straightened you out."   Apparently the
ticket office told her that they did it so that the subscribers  would
not have to worry about the changing price of tickets from year to
year.  Gee, aren't they swell?
 
She's also the one that sells our tickets from time to time at the door
when we can't make a game (she's better at it than I am).  I wonder
what the bail money will be if she gets arrested trying to sell a
ticket for 13.75?

P.S.  I really don't mind paying extra for our seats.  Apparently the
waiting list is still pretty long.  But it's the principle.
