Must be nice!

Phone conversation that took place tonight, about half an hour before the start of the show:

Me:  Hi, is this ?
Patron: Yes.
Me:  This is Angela at the Candlelight Dinner Playhouse.  We have some tickets for you for tonight's performance of Big River.  Were you still planning on coming?
Patron:  No, we actually can't make it.
Me:  Oh, okay.  Would you like to exchange for another performance?
Patron:  No, that's okay.
Me:  (pause)  So you just want to let the tickets go?
Patron:  Yes.
Me:  (pause)  Okay.  Well, have a good night.

I still can't imagine just throwing the money away.  Seriously...come again or give the tickets to someone else.  But just letting it go?  I wish I had that kind of money to just throw around.  Must be nice!
