I’m sorry Sir, the barcode on this ticket has already been scanned. It’s not valid.
What are you talking about? That can’t be… I bought this ticket!
Yes, I’m sorry. The scanner tells me this ticket was used for entry yesterday at 11:45 am.
That can’t be. I bought this ticket!
Ok, I’m sure there must be some kind of mistake. Is this your name on the ticket?
Umm… No. But, well, actually my mother gave it to me. She bought it.
Ok. So your mother bought it. Do you know her zip code?
66943
Hmm. That doesn’t match what’s on the ticket.
Yeah, well, she didn’t like“buy” it, it was given to her by her best friend who bought it. He’s a doctor.
Really, a doctor? That makes me feel much better. Is he a medical doctor or a PHD?
(blank stare)
Well Sir, the name on the ticket says COMP.
Yea well, what happened was, he’s her next door neighbor, he couldn’t make it, so he gave the tickets to her.
So, Dr. COMPLIMENTARY gave you this ticket?
Yes.
The box office is behind you to the left.
That works too.

Very funny!
Jeff and I think that Dr. Complimentary deserves a free pass to the OBGYN school of hard knocks! We really like the “Extra Point” but how can you deny the “Love Shack”. All of your fans in Cali love reading your blog and I’m not gonna lie I want to go to one of these festivals! Afer reading about your back stage pass ordeal I think I am just going to get a regular ticket….
Cameron says hi!
