I can't afford to buy a ticket to Hamilton--I couldn't justify it, I have family who need that kind of cash before spending it on that pricey a ticket.

But if that's the going rate, someone is affording it. It just ain't me.

No need for you, though, to be singling out a DUer and getting all ugly like that.
