That's cool.  I'm just kind of gobsmacked at the idea that I went down 
to the Orpheum box office this afternoon to buy two tickets each to 
three different shows that I can't wait for (one of them featuring my 
wife's absolute favorite band of the last few years, the Decemberists) 
and spent a total of $82.50, as opposed to $350 for one show.  The 
economics of that make no sense to me.
