MTV Awards

Dave had been offered the chance of a life time. The MTV awards were coming to his home town of Liverpool and Helen and Andy had 3 extra tickets. Would he like to go? He quickly weighed up the pros and cons.

Pros:

-Live performances of a few good songs.

Cons:

-The tickets cost £65 each.
-Award ceremonies are generally very boring.
-Britney Spears would be there.
-Amy Winehouse would be there.

It really was a no-brainer, Dave respectfully declined. Jean however had clearly miscounted the number of pros and cons and decided to snap up the offer.

Andy and Helen placed the remaining two tickets on ebay. They sold for around £600 each.

".. £600..?!?!..."

Jean suddenly felt more than a little guilty for taking the ticket. She tried to convince Andy and Helen to sell her one as well, but they had agreed to take her and were true to their word, even knowing they would be £535 better off if they left her behind. A greatly respectable couple. All Jean could do now was go and enjoy herself.

None of it made much sense to Dave.

"Seriously? £600? They know Britney Spears will be there right?"
