What are we rich?

Prom is next Friday, April 11, and it will be an extremely special time in each junior’s life. But the cost for everything is outrageous; a limo for 500 dollars, a tuxedo for 150, dresses for hundreds of dollars, and tickets for 65, not to mention if your going to buy your dates which makes it 130. Now another bump in the prices has taken place. Ticket prices have gone up due to a deadline that has no meaning at all. Prices were 65 dollars per ticket before March 28, but anytime after were 70 dollars for tickets. The increase may be minor but if you buying your dates ticket it is an extra ten bucks that someone may not have.
There is literally no reason for this change. They already have the tickets so why charge even more for kids to go? It is hard enough for most kids to go with all the other money requirements. Some kids may not have the money until the week after it has changed because of numerous reasons. Maybe there check from work didn’t come yet, maybe there waiting on their parents for money, there’s also the chance that they literally don’t have the money for financial reasons, and they simply could have forgot. So why punish kids for things they can not really control? They have no explanation for it.
A solution; just keep the prices how they are, plain and simple. Although they are already high, we all rather them be as low as they possibly can be. Of course tickets are only going to be sold for another week, so the chance for this to happen is doubtful. I guess we will just have to suck it up and pay up.
