Maybe you should consider hitch-hiking; you could save $268.25 on each trip and meet some very interesting people in the process.

Get real pal; sounds like you are complaining just to hear yourself complain! An expired ticket is just that EXPIRED!

In closing, if you want to buy something that doesn't expire, go to the post office and get some of those "forever" stamps; 2 years from now you can still use them, maybe you could buy enough and mail yourself somewhere.
