next time...

...she should save up for the cruise ship experience. from a wsj article on ticket sales:

To score a pair of tickets to see singer-songwriter John Mayer in Cincinnati on July 27, Beth Collins of Radcliff, Ky., spent $172, including about $30 in service fees, for the best two seats available on Ticketmaster at the time, in section 700, adjacent to the rear lawn at the Riverbend Music Center. Ms. Collins, a 27-year-old homemaker whose husband works in a UPS warehouse, borrowed $75 from a local loan service to help pay for the seats; with interest, she paid the service about $100.

Two weeks after her purchase, she heard that the concert's promoter, Live Nation, had dropped its service fees for the month of June. She went back to Ticketmaster, searching again for the best seats available. This time, she says, she was offered a much better pair of seats—in section 400, about 20 rows from the stage—for the same price.

"It went right through me. I'm just hurt," Ms. Collins says. She called Ticketmaster in hopes of exchanging her tickets, but was told her purchase was final, she says. "I felt like if I hurried up and got them, I'd get decent tickets. Weeks later the great tickets came out."
