> To score a pair of tickets to see singer-songwriter John Mayer in Cincinnati on July 27, Beth Collins of Radcliff, Ky., spent $172, including about $30 in service fees, for the best two seats available on Ticketmaster at the time, in section 700, adjacent to the rear lawn at the Riverbend Music Center. Ms. Collins, a 27-year-old homemaker whose husband works in a UPS warehouse, borrowed $75 from a local loan service to help pay for the seats; with interest, she paid the service about $100.
I can't help but think this sort of thing is why poor people remain poor.
Using a loan service to pay for concert tickets is unbelievable. This is EXACTLY why states like KY remain poor. A person that clearly has no savings would do so much better to have $200 in their savings account.
