I called the ticket office and asked to be put on the waiting list for season tickets. I figured it might take 15 or 20 years, but by then I’d be able to afford the tickets and hotels so it would all work out.

The lady from the ticket office told me, “Honey, those tickets stay in families for generations. We get so few non-renewals each year that we don’t even bother with a waiting list.”

was the last time that season tickets were easy to come by.

In the 1990s those families still held on to many of those tickets.
