He violated team rules. We got to Troy and bought him a one-way bus ticket back to Murfreesboro.

Kermit Davis

Make sure when you purchase your ticket, you know what you're really getting.

Susan Klein

The value of a frequent-flyer ticket at the end of the day depends on the value of a revenue ticket that you might have bought had you not used your miles.

Tim Winship

The terms of his probation required that he obey all laws. The ticket indicates he didn't fulfill that obligation.

Stephen Holmes

If somebody is cited and they want to resolve that ticket, it's here instantaneously.

Russ Salsman

You get on and off and usually you don't have to hassle with a ticket.

Gary Stone

Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere.

Mary Schmich

Of course, they're supposed to park in designated parking areas. ... It would be the city's responsibility to ticket him.

Ileana Limarzi

We'll do the beta testing in June. That will be your ticket.

Jim Alexander

All politicians are vulnerable in an environment of anger. What you've got is this perfect storm: The president is low in the polls, the governor is low in the polls and neither of them is on the ticket. Given the criticism and the anger, somebody is going to be on the receiving end of those emotions.

Robert Schmuhl

It's 8:00 p.m. and so far I have not got my ticket that I booked on the Internet on Feb. 4.

Amrit Sethi

The Fillmore Auditorium has been one of the most successful clubs in the country in terms of ticket sales and shows we bring in. There has been a lot of interest in box seats, and frankly, we felt it was the next step into making it even a better hall.

Chuck Morris

Pretty girls in sports is the golden ticket. This girl is someone to use because she has good looks and does a lot of different sports, so marketing a beautiful athlete is good in the end.

Margaret Donaldson

[At one point in Wednesday's news conference at the Arizona Biltmore Resort, site of this week's NFL annual meeting, Cardinals vice president Rod Graves even was asked if any part of Smith's contract was tied to ticket sales.] There is nothing in this particular contract about that, ... Thank goodness.

Rod Graves

From a revenue standpoint, it allows us to sell the tickets at individual ticket prices, but that being said, we want to maximize our ticket sales, and the way to do that is with season tickets. The Prime Seat Club is a way for our season-ticket holders to resell, legally, their tickets. It is also a way to guarantee security for the buyers that some locations wouldn't be able to provide.

Joe Strohm

I saved my program and ticket for about two years. Then we moved here, and I was a teenager, so I chucked it all.

Dick O'brien

The most important mission we have is to get back to the business of doing opera. And to do opera which draws an audience that will provide the ticket sales that will keep the company going.

Sharon Heitman

Some of the larger-ticket items needed to be looked at by the insurance company.

Gayle Horton

Win the Sun Belt, and that's a guaranteed ticket to a bowl game. And after the way we've performed so far, anything less than a bowl is a failure.

Dewhitt Betterson

Wedding insurance covers everything that's non-refundable, and it's amazing what it covers. If your great aunt cannot get in because the airport is closed, she'll get a new ticket. If you had to cancel or postpone the wedding because you had appendicitis, the matchbooks that you ordered with the date of the wedding on it will be replaced.

Sally Kilbridge

More than 5,000 tickets were purchased for the event that was originally scheduled in July. We want everyone who is holding a ticket to know their ticket will get them into this major entertainment celebration on Friday, October 28th.

Terry Carter

Until now, because this is the winning ticket right here.

Barbara Robinson

Buy the ticket take the Ride.

Hunter S. Thompson

I couldn't think of another way to get her into power where basically her own Cabinet is against her, the whole world is crashing down on her. And I also feel that as an Independent, it would be naive and fairytale-ish to assume right now that an Independent would come to power at the head of a ticket.

Rod Lurie

It can create a major headache. You can have six or eight people with the same ticket trying to sit in the same seat. At last year's SEC Championship football game, I confiscated around 70-75 counterfeit tickets. I had about 30 with the same seat location.

Craig Mattox

I don't think this is a reaction to the turnover. We wanted the fans to know why we are doing some things. Most of the early spots are targeted toward the season-ticket holders. When we get to single-game promotions, we'll introduce more players.

Jeff Overton

In three years, Arte Moreno has written $5.5 million in checks to the city. That's more than the $400,000 (in ticket revenue) they got in seven years from Disney.

Tim Mead

There was no seat location for the spot listed on the ticket.

Kent Brown

This feature is a ticket into the policy arena, exposing the public to the ideas that initiate and guide national and international policy in our country. Think Tank Town is an innovative space that addresses policy issues from all sides of the political spectrum.

Hal Straus

You can't get those tickets. It would be a miracle if you pulled those tickets. If they want $200 for a ticket, they should write $200 on the ticket.

Greg Couch

It was the hardest ticket in town, ... Celebrities were crying: 'Where's my 'box?' 'Where's my 'box?' .

Pat Kingsley

The process included both qualitative research and a formal quantitative telephone survey of Mighty Ducks season ticket holders. While there was support for keeping the current name, the majority of those surveyed, nearly two-thirds, supported some sort of name change.

David Paine

The center has a reputation for presenting diverse, high-quality programs. Like every theater, we know that some of our shows will exceed expectations and others will not. Given our strong advance sales for the rest of season, we expect our ticket revenue to balance out.

Frank Jacobson

This is the hottest ticket now on college campuses. They can make music out of anything.

Tom Perry

He was never on the security tapes here at the store. He said he played one ticket, we know it was five tickets. It was a Quick Pick, he said he played his own numbers. He said there were two gentlemen who sold him the ticket, there were two ladies working there at the time.

Tom Johnson

I think we need a strong New Yorker to head the ticket, ... hasn't convinced me he is the right person.

Nick Spano

We support the six-month flexible ticket option because it was developed in response to feedback from wholesalers, retailers and guests. And we know HK Disneyland is looking at options to be better able to meet high guest demand.

Joseph Tung

Nobody's ticket got fixed. Their tickets got resolved through the standard procedure.

Gary Guymon

I recognize that there's some concern that we're getting in the way of free commerce - that if Uncle Joe wants to sell his ticket to some guy, and he makes $10 on the sale, what's the problem with that? That's the hard part. That's the innocent aspect to what happens - but then there's the more criminal aspect of abusing people and frankly taking advantage of people.

Dave Nutter

When I talked to the ushers who staffed Gate C they told me students were being sent to the ticket office for the tickets. So, I don't know if by mistake one person was told they were gone because they weren't.

Joel Rasmus

I was getting better and taller. I started seeing (basketball) as my ticket out of Cincinnati. I played everyday. I just wanted to be a success story -- the guy people would talk about.

Quantez Robertson

We have to promote the theater more to generate ticket sales. We want to be able to break even as a theater. We need to generate awareness that First Street Playhouse exists. There are people in town that still don't know we exist.

Julane Sullivan

On any CEO's dance card, here's an important ticket you need punched. The World Economic Forum is the most important.

Carol Ballock

They had a near riot in Miami, and they had to close a ticket counter in New York.

Dee Kelly

It's a reasonably big ticket they are going to have to write just to show up.

Bret Jordan

Ticket sales could be better. The Loyola student body just doesn't always choose to get involved.

John Downing

To be the hottest ticket in L.A. makes you feel pretty good. Being in Hollywood, we meet so many people. We've got Snoop working out with us, Will Ferrell working out with us. All the movie stars, all the rappers, they want to be part of winning.

Lendale White

I always try to start from what should and what could be done. Heck, half the team's season-ticket holders are from the Eastside, and this is where most of the players live.

Kemper Freeman

Ticket sales have been absolutely amazing.. we've sold over 1.3 million tickets more than any other commonwealth games by a long long way.

John Harnden

Consumer electronics was one of the strongest performing categories in the retail segment. Lower price points led to higher volume on bigger ticket items.

Scot Ciccarelli

The normal trend in pro sports is that you will realize a spike [in ticket sales] a year after you enjoy success. That's what we're experiencing right now. Fans have embraced this team. They have confidence in what we accomplished last year.

Bob Dibiasio

There must be a tidal change in the attitude towards club funding in the next few years because there is simply no getting away from the fact that ticket prices cannot continue to rise at the rate they have.

Charles Barnett

We presume if someone comes in with the winning ticket they've signed, we presumed they've won, and unless we get a court order to the contrary, we don't get involved.

Steve Kniley

Certainly it is a big deal and I think it is unfortunate that the attention is not going to be drawn to Watertown or to the businessman who sold that ticket.

Roxanne Burns

I intend to. I could support some of the under-ticket candidates. However, I didn't want the Democrats to think I was pandering to them.

Michael Hoffman

You see a lot of regulars from Utah. You see a lot of them every five weeks. That's because you can get 10 plays on one ticket.

Bobby Green

We're looking at $500 to $1,000 a ticket.

Devin Hansen

Just to cover the increase in fuel costs over the past two years, American would have had to raise fares nearly $75 per round-trip ticket. During this time period, our average fare increased by only $15.

Gerard Arpey

We're hoping to get in the region of 10,000 people a day and judging by ticket sales we're well on the way to that.

John Phelps

There will certainly be a demand on our ticket allocation.

Martin Bain

Be prepared for delays the likes of which you've never seen before, and be prepared to pay a whole lot more for your airline ticket.

Joe Karaganis

It's going to cost the average household $600 more a year just to put gas in their car. Ticket prices for things at Wal-Mart and Target. Ticket prices for airplanes. Ticket prices for just about everything are going to go up.

David Swenson

We've held up raising ticket prices as much as anyone by competition. But it became clear fares had to increase.

Barry Biffle

I thought about it. If someone gives me a ticket, I'd go. It would be fun to see him play.

Steve Miles

I was impressed so much I went straight over and bought my ticket.

Patrick Bradley

If you had a ticket to come today and you want to be reimbursed for food loss you will be reimbursed for food loss.

Joanie Erickson

One of my teammates joked with me at halftime (of the first game) that I better put up some numbers or my ticket home would be booked. Let's just say I'm not ready to go home yet.

Tina Donahue

We want tickets to be $25, to make it a bit more accessible for kids who might not be able to afford a $200 ticket to another benefit. We'll raise somewhere in the neighborhood of $350,000 to $400,000 for victims of Katrina, and we'll make kids feel like they were part of something larger.

Kevin Lyman

We have arranged for ticket holders to come to the venue at specific times as written on the tickets. It should be a fun event.

Arif Mujahidin

I believe we're strong enough to make the final. Winning the Cup is certainly a goal with a ticket to Europe at stake.

Guy Lacombe

I spent the whole Sunday in the queue for the ticket. I appeal to both countries to relax the visa process. It is a must -- it is more important than opening rail tracks and air and bus links.

Amrit Sethi

Bob is one guy who's realized it's not all about the money. It's about making music and making people happy. It's not about charging $100 a ticket.

Jerry Mickelson

We can transport them to transitional living programs with a Greyhound bus ticket. We try to do that to a program in the youth's hometown or nearby.

Maureen Blaha

The fair has one of the most pre-sale ticket programs in the nation. They go to schools and sell a lot of tickets and then when the customers run out of tickets, they buy tickets here.

Kelly Watkins

What I find with people is that they don't always understand why they got a parking ticket, and part of our role is to have an education function … and explain to people why that occurs, ... Under the old system, the only way you had of discovering that was to go and talk to the magistrates on Broadway.

Dave Hill

Ours is a very diversified fund ranging from small ticket items like office equipment to big ticket items like ships and airplanes. We've pooled into the same fund to get the maximum diversification.

Allen Hirsch

I think it's pretty clear that if Governor Bush does well in California, it's going to help the statewide ticket.

Tom Campbell

The funny thing is that he was watching television at a friend's home in the same Garrett Creek Subdivision where the dream home is located when we pulled his winning ticket. When he won, he didn't have to come far to claim his prize.

Mark Cantrell

I'm not sure you get a ticket in San Diego at this point, and if you do you'll have an obstructed view. We sold every ticket there in very quick fashion.

Paul Archey

If I could have gotten my hands on a ticket, I'd be biking, hitchhiking or walking all the way to Detroit.

Chris Daniels

To bring back the ticket sales, stop making crappy sequels. Emphasize on good ideas and originality, and rely less on spin-offs and follow-ups.

Stuart Allard

We still have the ticket he never used.

Melissa Gregory

Although it's easy to forget sometimes, a share is not a lottery ticket... it's part-ownership of a business.

Peter Lynch

You're kidding. I didn't even get a T-shirt. They won't even give me a ticket to the Video Music Awards in Miami in a couple of weeks.

Dale Mitchell

An Edmonton electrician purchased 18 winning PROLINE tickets on August 12, 1991, and won $895,333.48. One of his tickets won $113,621 and that is likely the biggest win on a single ticket.

John Matheson

As we did the previous two years of this partnership, Rock Financial will do many things to help enhance the game day experience. We'll be involved in pre-game tailgate parties, ticket giveaways, contests, premium giveaway nights and the Rock Financial parachute drop. We also will provide opportunities for fans to win trips, tickets and merchandise during the broadcasts and in-game.

David Hall

I'm a promoter of this sport so if I've ever got somebody who wants to come watch and can't because they can't get a ticket, that's just breaking my heart.

Steve Bellamy

I haven't got a ticket but anyone who knows me knows how desperately I want to go to that concert.

Conrad Smith

There's the purchase of the ticket. There are the seats on the airplane. I think those are the two most valuable things that airlines offer to customers.

Jim Cron

Come on, a bit of egg isn't gonna spoil a rock show for someone standing at the back of a 46,000 strong crowd. Everyone got a show they'll remember for the rest of their lives. If I was at that show I'd want to keep the ticket stub because it'll go down in history.

Sharon Osbourne

Yeah, I was a little concerned about that and maybe getting a curfew ticket or something, but it will be worth it to get the word out of how important this issue is.

Stephanie Ortiz

For the price of the ticket, this is the best you can get in the state of Ohio. From a coach's perspective, if they can get the most out of their kids, it's going to be an exciting night.

Leroy Bates

Nobody needs to be holding a raffle for Anne. With a resume like hers, she can write her own ticket.

David Taras

That's a tough one. I'm not going to pretend that's not an issue. But as with any ticket they buy, tickets are non-refundable.

Bill Rapp

We went out to dinner and to see the 10 Tenors a couple of months ago with friends. It takes us buying a ticket, putting our money where our mouths are.

Carol Green

I remember when I was a kid having the Friday night games or the Saturday night games - a South East Melbourne versus Melbourne . . . they were huge, sold out, you couldn't get a ticket.

Andrew Bogut

Everyone was congratulating me, patting me on the back. I had several people say I should buy a lottery ticket or go to Vegas.

Delashaun Dean

People want to use their cards for smaller ticket transactions.

Barbara Coleman

My husband is a big joker and my son-in-law thought he had somehow dummied up a ticket.

Frances Chaney

If you miss four or five games as a season-ticket holder, either Reid or Reese or myself is going to call you [asking] where you've been. We really get to know our fans.

Jay Miller

While the main focus is on the meal and that is the big draw, I do think that some people come just for the activities that are held. There certainly is plenty to do without a meal ticket.

Janette Epp

People are tired of paying high ticket prices, ... I think it's finally caught up to them.

Jerry Mickelson

My dad used to take me when I was little. I always try to catch the show now, because it doesn't cost too much more than a movie ticket, and live events are always more attention-grabbing.

John Moyer

Given that Nader is running on the Pat Buchanan Reform Party ticket and is openly accepting both financial and organizational help from Republicans and their allies, the answer is no.

Jano Cabrera

It's a small ticket. When the average account size is around $10,000, the most a broker might earn is $300 to $400.

Joe Hurley

There have been cases where one co-worker claims he bought the ticket himself and won't share, so it's worth making the office pact and writing it down in advance along with your lottery ticket numbers so there's no dispute between colleagues, the lottery and the IRS.

Bob Scharin

Everybody wants a ticket. But it's really exciting to be playing at home.

Jeff Ballard

We believe the December sales performance reflects not only our continued need to update the store base, but also a need to increase the average ticket and to drive more traffic, exposing a broader base of consumers to the new Circuit City.

Alan Mccollough

None of us were there. Only she knows what she dialed. And she can be real adamant. But then again, if you look at a phone book, there might be six or seven ticket companies all in a row.

Bonnie Poindexter

Ticket sales have been disappointing. It's been a learning curve.

Nick Leeson

We haven't had much time to think about what we wanted to do. Just thinking about getting that ticket turned in.

Chasity Rutjens

We never have gone up that much before. Some (students) see it as a ticket into college.

James Rice

The reality is that most of us sit at home and read about the Super Bowl and the $1,000 parties, and we won't have an opportunity to participate. When I look at a $400 ticket, I blanch. This allows everyday people to get involved.

Charlie Anderson

We can make a door on the side. I'd love for that to happen. Otherwise why is there a little ticket booth there?

Roy Christopher

Definitely buy a season pass. If you have a WRKR Rocker Club card the series is only $60. That means your ticket price per event is under $9.

Jackie Mitchell

Because we have offered mini-plans in the past, we've received a number of inquiries as to whether we would this year. Based on the demand we've experienced and how well season ticket sales have gone so far, it's not practical to offer them this year.

Ron Minegar

Some of our players are cognizant that they purchased tickets and some aren't. I'm not surprised that no one's called. They may not have any idea that their ticket matched. Or maybe they're sitting there in stunned silence. Or maybe they're already finding legal or financial advice prior to calling us and claiming.

Leticia Vasquez

I couldn't find a way to get her down there, so I bought her a ticket myself. That's one of our concerns of the moment once we match people, not having the transportation to connect them. It's tragic.

Lee Reed

Jimmy says he'll never tell a lie. Well, I lie all the time. 1 have to -- to balance the family ticket.

Lillian Carter

I probably got a half-dozen e-mails from fans and season ticket-holders like that. But once I explained to the season ticket-holders that really what we're trying to do is get companies on board, I think they understood.

Steve Violetta

It's open to all. They don't need a ticket, it's free and they don't need to be of any particular political persuasion.

Paul Hickman

Howard Dean did in fact offer Wes Clark a place on the ticket in a one-on-one meeting that Trippi did not attend.

Matt Bennett

One thing you learned as a Cubs fan: when you bought you ticket, you could bank on seeing the bottom of the ninth.

Joe Garagiola

I simply believe we have a duty to go on, to ourselves, ticket buyers, staff, promoters, big and little people. I also have a duty to myself and my dependent family and friends. I also want to help guide Roger and the rest of the band at this time, all of whom have been shaken by John's death.

Pete Townshend

You can say right now that we intend to maintain our ticket prices. But we won't announce it until this spring.

Heather Smith

You can imagine him on the ticket, either as the presidential candidate or the vice president, and Virginia automatically becomes a competitive state.

Merle Black

We are able to go back and find this guest that has taken the ticket. In almost every case we are able to get the money back to the rightful owner.

Walter Sirorine

We are hoping to increase our season ticket sales by another 3,000.

Paul Fletcher

At the very least, even if you don't get a discounted ticket, by buying in advance you'll have that ticket in hand and you won't waste time early in the morning in line when you could be going out onto the rides themselves.

Robert Niles

I do not have a problem with the price increase. If you park where you are not supposed to, then you deserve a ticket.

John Dawson

Since its inception in 1976, the Charity Preview has raised over $58 million to help children throughout the Detroit area. For example, a single Charity Preview ticket provides free transportation to 16 women for prenatal care appointments and well-baby visits.

Richard Genthe

Judging by the sluggish ticket sales for the Cardinals-49ers (on Oct. 2), ... Mexico City fans know quality football when they don't see it.

Dan Bickley

It surprises us when the money is unclaimed. You never can tell just why. Someone might have been here on vacation and bought a ticket. Sometimes people just forget to check and then forget they have it.

Courtney Hill

I didn't pay $50 a ticket, wait till the tickets come out on June 4 to have hundreds of people push me over and knock me down on the ground.

Wendy Roberts

We continue to refine all the things we do, be it working with retailers or refining things like ticket dispensers.

Rebecca Paul

We just want people to have a good experience and the only way we can guarantee that is if we know you have purchased your ticket from a legitimate ticket source.

Dave Olsen

We look for a rebound due to the recycling of oil money, such as in high-ticket orders from oil-producing nations.

Takehiro Sato

She would come home and just work long enough to get enough money for the next plane ticket.

Becky Sarro

Our information from players over the long term is that while the top prize is a motivator for some to play, players are motivated for the entire experience of playing an instant ticket. They find fun in playing instant tickets. There's a thrill in the reveal.

Arch Gleason

Most artists are making more money on tours than from CDs. That's why ticket prices and the cost of business went up. ... We don't voluntarily go out and write bigger checks.

Michael Rapino

There wouldn't be any difference in cost for the season ticket holder, ... It's something we're thinking about. It's something we'll continue to discuss.

Tony Tavares

That's not including the cost of attending events or cost of getting to and from Indianapolis. And it's incredibly conservative. It doesn't take into consideration the premium on hotel rates and the additional fans who came without a ticket.

Bob Schultz

For everyone who has ever wished to press an Easy Button and be instantly organized or have a gourmet dinner on the table before you get home, there is a ticket waiting to be found! And since our to-do lists keep getting longer, what busy professional wouldn't want 'The Easy Life'?

Shira Goodman

I will never be back to Grand Rapids, ever in life... as soon as I can pay this ticket, I will never come back to Grand Rapids for nothing.

Johnnie Johnson

You're only going to need one ticket, only one set of check-in for baggage and everything else.

Randy Petersen

Not a single ticket has been sold so far as the process of police verification is taking too long.

Sukhdev Singh

Ticket sales have increased quite a bit. I think this is definitely solid news.

Peony Kao

I don't like the fact that he's given more money — up and down the Republican ticket — because Republicans are by and large against [homosexual] folks.

Andrew Tobias

We decide on what items to replace based on the demand and popularity of the item and also if it is our only copy of it. We are not going to replace CDs, however, since they are a large ticket item. As you can see, this causes a problem because we cannot replace everything and that means that our community will have to do without.

Deb Beisell

There are nine separate ways to win. So with a lot of first- time buyers out there all across the country, don't throw your ticket out just because you didn't win the big jackpot.

Rebecca Paul

Ticket sales are very solid, to say the least.

Chuck Morris

I vote Libertarian, straight ticket. But otherwise, Kinky Friedman, because he's not a politician, even though he's a liberal. I'll forgive him for that.

John Sheffield

I think there's more interest in the league right now, but it's on a franchise-by-franchise basis. It depends on the market, ... If you're in a good market, the collective bargaining agreement helps you a lot. If it's a marginal market, with a bad building deal, small season ticket base, I would say wait and see.

Sal Galatioto

I see no danger is seeing persons spending a dollar on a lottery ticket, but I have had patients who spend enormous amounts of money just on the lottery.

Donald Black

The railroad does not dispute that that night was a horrific night. It should not be a lottery ticket.

Tim Thornton

We want to do special things for ourselves. That's why 'The Nutcracker' sells out every year. It's not a cheap ticket. But it's part of your holiday. It's part of America.

John Konarski

Basically we found tonight that our backup system wasn't nearly as fast as our primary system. That caused a slowness at the ticket window. I'm sorry for all of those who were affected, but I thank them all for making the decision to come to the game.

Rick Greenspan

Moonlight, along with neighboring Big Sky Resort, flank opposite sides of Montana's Lone Peak. They've shared the same mountain and even some trails in the past, and this season they're sharing a lift ticket — you can kick down once and ride the combined 5,300 acres. That makes Big Sky and Moonlight bigger than any other U.S. resort (Vail is second with 5,289 acres).

Kurt Hoy

The things that got me through grade school are helping me out later in life. It's like, I show up on time. If you buy a ticket to one of my shows, I'll show up. I'll be there. And if it says 10:00, I'll be on stage at 10:00.

Chris Isaak

The average selling price right now for the AFC game is $547. That's far and away the highest average NFL game this season. The average ticket to the NFC game is going for somewhere in the $300 range.

Sean Pate

The thing that has really accelerated this and magnified this situation is the Internet, ... It seems everyone is getting involved in this now, and tying to make a big profit. A lot of ticket brokers are being forced to buy on the secondary market, and that seriously cuts into our profits.

Robert Jones

We don't want you to be caught off-guard. The first time you find out about a new law should not be when you're getting a ticket for breaking it.

Jenny Mack

You're not going to find entertainment like this in the South, and maybe in the United States, for free anywhere. Anywhere else, you would pay $50 (or more) for a ticket.

Wade Moore

If he played in a system where he had to constantly have his back to the basket, he would not have been successful. He would not have had fun. And that's not Kevin. He knew what he wanted. He knew that was his ticket.

Dave Rogers

If you are on foot, you will be checked. If you are a fan and you have a ticket, you need your ticket with you.

Neil Sullivan

Frank didn't know until 2 p.m. yesterday that he was the winner, ... His winning ticket was sitting in an envelope at the bar, and even though they knew the winning ticket was bought at Pell Lake, nobody tried to look in the envelopes and see who had the winner.

Don Walsh

To do this is nickel-and-diming. People will end up bypassing the skycap altogether and going to the ticket counter, or they'll book tickets on another airline.

Mike Boyd

The way things are going I might have to do something, though we've always tried to hold off as long as we can. Our buses get about six to seven miles per gallon. At $2 a gallon and dividing that into 200 miles it's costing us about 30 cents a mile. At $2.80 a gallon it costs us 40 cents a mile. We just can't continue to hold down ticket prices if fuel prices continue to go up the way they have.

Tom Forseth

Ticket sales are very strong. There is still the possibility that additional tickets will be made available later in the week.

Chris Semrau

Anybody who comes to that event, whether they make a wish or not, will receive a ticket to the Amy Grant concert. Even though it's a free concert, you need a ticket.

Donna Brown

We're selling the heck out of [the season-ticket plans], which is terrific. It tells you a lot about what these people think about the team.

Tim Schuldt

I believe this company is able to get back a couple of billion dollars in revenue, and business intelligence was our ticket to do that, ... That is an absolutely sleeping giant in our portfolio. That's a $15 billion to 18 billion market where there's no one clear market leader. I had very high expectations for the role of business analytics.

George Shaheen

What's lower than writing a man a ticket for sleeping on the street? If he had somewhere else to go, don't you think he'd be there?

Gary Jones

It's not just a matter of the cost of the airplane vs. the cost of an airline ticket, ... You have to factor in the amount of time an executive wastes waiting for connecting flights or being forced to stay overnight on the road instead of flying direct.

Robert Mark

We found that our success depended heavily on the support we received from the business world. It's because they have seen value in the project and in the partnership opportunities that we've been able to come here five years later and state that we haven't had to raise our ticket prices!

John Swiatek

We don't have anything to report in terms of a winner or their representative coming forward or anybody with a ticket or anything.

Brian Rockey

We're going to have a very good group of performers this year. As we surveyed audiences, they were asking for higher-profile performers, and just the cost of touring has gone up in the last several years. To get to what people expect, it takes a bit larger ticket price.

Lucy Fleming

Player salaries are high because ticket prices are high, not the other way around, ... The only way teams can charge high ticket prices is with fans willing to pay them. The only reason they're willing to pay is because they want to see talented players. But if you cut pay for players, it would just mean more money left for owners.

One of the city officers noticed that the inspection sticker on Mom's car was expired and gave her a ticket as a joke. But Dad wouldn't change it, and she had to go pay.

Dean Cox

People don't care anymore. All they care about is a cheap ticket, a cheap quart of milk, a cheap whatever.

Gary Brown

Anyone who bought a ticket from that store for Saturday's draw should be holding on to it very tightly, especially if they are out and about on holiday.

Trevor Hall

Ticket prices are going up. You have to pay for the product.

Bruce Lakefield

This is kind of our nod of the cap to our season-ticket holders and longtime fans.

Ron Minegar

Overall, advance ticket sales for Speed Weeks are trending ahead of last year.

John Saunders

The likelihood that an investor might be able to randomly pick the next Picasso -- that's a lot like buying a lottery ticket and hoping to win big. You have no real data here on what the average return is from a random purchase of art.

Michael Moses

If we still had the six-game season ticket available, I'm convinced all the five-game packages would have been six-game sales. But it was a record-breaking year for ticket sales no matter how you look at it.

George Ade

Well over 60 per cent of the subscriptions have been sold, ... I've spoken to a lot of different groups and apparently there is a new energy that's hitting the city and as a result ticket sales are up.

Robert Raines

The mayor says he supports the Republican Party, but we do not yet have a bipartisan commission. The mayor is not running a Republican on the ticket, but is always reaching out for the Republican vote.

Frank Alonzo

This is a modest increase in our ticket price in order for us to continue to move forward our basketball programs. One of our short term goals is to begin a feasibility study for a new basketball practice facility for both our men's and women's basketball teams, and this move is the first step in making that happen.

Skip Bertman

But they didn't get a sponsor, and the best quote they could get from anybody was Papa John's $5.50 a pizza. So if everybody had turned in their ticket if we lost, the bill would have been $83,000. Good thing we won.

Dan Pearson

They work in tandem so you can't really get a street-cleaning ticket in San Francisco unless we're really street cleaning.

Maggie Lynch

Look at ticket prices to the Rose Bowl or NCAA Final Four -- they're pretty high, even though those players don't get paid. If it was player salaries driving, the tickets would be much cheaper.

Bruce Johnson

Relationships with our customers have never been better. We made the investment into their emotional bank accounts, and they are paying the dividends with their increased frequency and ticket averages. It truly is a win-win relationship.

Pat Lewis

The Spitzer ticket misses the point. The way to create jobs and improve the climate for businesses is to cut taxes and control spending.

Andrea Tantaros

We expect our ticket for Germany. We must not miss such a chance.

Mateja Kezman

Its going to make an impact because one person that gets the ticket is going to tell someone and they're going to talk about it.

Janice Davis

This shows you people are splitting their ticket as they're thinking about going down the ballot.

Thad Beyle

Wal-Mart's lack of an aggressive advertising campaign after Black Friday likely impacted traffic and (average) ticket, as competitors were very promotional.

Deborah Weinswig

(Thursday) it was $3,200 for the low-level, just-get-in-the-door ticket.

Jennifer Swanson

Does Syria not care that young guys from Yemen or Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan or Iran come into Damascus airport with a one-way ticket and no job and no place to stay and then find their way into Iraq where they strap bombs to themselves and blow themselves up and kill children in a market? Women and children in front of a market?
