Nope, we don't know what you

I like the money saving early bird deals, but what they never tell you is that you're going to get socked with the stupid convenience fees for doing the tickets at home. I work in downtown Raleigh, and I'm just going to the Farmer's Market to buy the advance tickets in person. You can get the ride tickets for the same price in person, you don't get the free adult ticket for spending between $40 and $100, but the advance adult ticket is only $5, and your service fees are likely to be more than that.
I save a lot of money by not
