O.K a bit of a vent here...

My son is in a school concert tonight, which we are looking forward to seeing, so I was told we had to pick the tickets up in town as they had sold out at the school..

So the boy went down and did it, then rang me up and said for three tickets it was $48.00..

I would understand if it was a major production, but for fecks sake this is a primary school concert, my daughter is going and her ticket was the same as an adults...
We are lucky enough to be able to afford it, but what happens when it is a family of six?

Contraception is a wonderful thing!

That's crap.

I remember back in the day our High School productions cost about $5 for an adult and $2 for kids (or under a certain age they were free).

Primary School concerts were always free. I'd be complaining to the school about that.
