Dear Queenie,
Why does someone who goes alone to an event have to pay more to get in than someone who has a date? I sometimes see them charge something like $25 for a single ticket but $40 for a couple.
Queenie, why don’t they charge the same for everyone? Do you think this is fair?—Just wondering
Dear Just wondering,
Did you ever hear the expression “cheaper by the dozen”? It is the same logic as buying in bulk at the supermarket. The idea is to sell as many tickets as they can. And at the kind of event you are thinking of, there is another pertinent expression: “the more the merrier”, meaning when more people attend everyone has more fun (including the organisers, who will raise more money).
