In a lot of cases the face value of the ticket isn’t the biggest expense. You can have travel costs, parking, lunch (whereas you’d otherwise cooked at home), possibly some time off work. And that’s before you touch on the emotional expense of being excluded from an activity you were looking forward to and which your friends and family were let into. While these are all expenses that the patrons happily take on, that is under the assumption that they are allowed to enter the venue. I know I’d feel pretty peeved at having gone through all of that for nothing. It just adds to the frustration of the day.
