19:52 – I recently decided to patronize my local concert hall on a whim, arriving only a few minutes before the concert started. As I was approaching the box office to purchase a ticket, a woman intercepted me and all but insisted I use the spare ticket she had, as one of her family members was not able to make it. Before I could consider the consequences of doing so, I graciously accepted, and she sat me among her family members on the second row to the stage for a very intimate two-hour concert. Because of the proximity to the stage, I'm worried that these were rather expensive tickets. Should I try to compensate her somehow? She also invited me to her church. Do I have to start going there? Do I need to buy her a ticket to something now? – A Ticket Tagalong in Texas
