The price of a ticket?


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

There is no reason to prefer one ticket over any other. There is no maximum ticket.
