There was no end to her greed. I bet those tickets have fetched a bit more than that since then. I have one that I got for $50.00 on ebay, but you have to be very careful of the fake ones. My dad had tickets to that concert and got the refund. I was so mad at him then. He wishes he hadn't done it now. Great story!

Probabaly a very savy move. The estate was going bust at that time.
