accounting for the KKK

i have a wrinkle that could make some of the accounting on here awkward.  i'm a member of an organization that essentially gives away unsold tickets to events.

for $89 a year i'm given up to two tickets a day to events on an ever-rotating schedule.  events range from whacky (and bad) off-strip stuff to the occasional big act.  since joining last summer, i've seen 23 shows.  (i could tell you what i've seen through them, but they reserve the right to revoke my membership immediately if i do, so i won't ... i also won't say the name of the organization ... but ask me through a side channel and i'll tell you either/both.)

although they probably wouldn't advertise themselves this way, i consider my ticket organization to be a KKK provider ... after all, my average so far is less than $4/ticket, and that'll drop with every show i see.

BUT not every show i see is something i normally would have kut anyway ... so i'm only recording the shows i would have tracked down and saw without any knowledge of my ticket agency (which means i'm excluding some truly excellent shows i have seen as well as some true crap).

also, ticket subscriptions aside, i often deal in multiple tickets for my friends ... in all cases i'm just reporting the savings and expenditures for a single ticket.
