For Sale: Mountain Goats Ticket for $1 (That's Basically Free)

I woke up this morning realizing I purchased an extra Mountain Goats ticket for tonight's show. It cost $28 or something like that, so you can save a bunch of money by buying my extra from me. It costs $1. That's a pretty big savings, right?

Pick up the ticket downtown, or I can meet you at the venue. Contact me at knowidyuh@gmail.com. Scalpers need not apply, because I know who you are. I would prefer selling this ticket to a Mountain Goats fan who happens to be poor.
