I've got an extra ticket to the 2/11 game against the Avalanche. Lower bowl, aisle seat (Section 115, Row T, Seat 12). It's free to the first person to e-mail me at: <removed>. I only ask that you make a donation to the Clarence Fund in return. I'll be leaving Kansas City to go to the game around 11:00 so that's the cut-off. I'll e-mail the ticket to the winner.

Thanks,

A couple of years ago I distinctly remember trying to give a gratuity at a concession stand and being told that they weren't allowed to accept tips.  At Saturday's game I witnessed several concession stand workers aggressively vying for tips and in some cases flat-out stealing. For our first round of beers we didn't tip (didn't think it was allowed) and saw the worker put a dollar in his pocket instead of the register.  My wife bought the next round of beers and a different worker only charged her for one drink and asked for a fat tip. I made the last trip to the concession to get one large beer to split with my wife.  As I walked up I clearly had $10 in hand (large beers are now $9) and  was only charged for a regular beer ($6.50).  Once again it was made clear that a nice tip would be appreciated. Then he went ahead and gave me a regular sized beer as well.  I only had the $10 on me so that's all he got.

So, is tipping officially allowed at the concession stands now?  I'm more than willing to give a tip and I don't need free beer in order to do so...
