So, I've won tickets to Brandon Flower's show at the Riveria in Chicago, IL next week. Problem is, I'll be gone. I want to give my tickets to my friends who are big fans, but my name is on the will call and not in physical tickets. I'm wondering if they can go without me.

I have VIP tickets to a taping of the Colbert Report at the end of this month. I'm wondering what that means with regards to the show. Googling seems to indicate it's just a time-frame thing...you don't need to stand in line and are sat first. I'm wondering if any other perks go along, like perhaps [squee!] meeting Stephen.

I was issued two citations for speeding from New York State Police in the mid 90's. I never paid them. When I got the second one, I assumed that the officer would arrest me or at least mention the first but he did not. I have never had a New York State driver's license and I have had licenses renewed by the state of which I was a resident at the time and the one in which I have resided for ten years. Nor any problems with insurance. Should I do anything about this?

I really want to get two tickets to the third day of the third test between England and Pakistan at the Oval (in London). The only tickets on public sale are in the premium section at £100ish each. Any cricket fans know if there's likely to be another release of tickets nearer the time, or whether there's any other legitimate avenue for buying tickets?

Can someone explain the interplay between Consumer Rights and Non-transferable purchases? I mean when I buy 'something' I feel that one 'should be able' to give it to a friend instead of using it myself. But with certain things like Airline Tickets, some software licenses etc I can't do this. Does this not contradict to the ideas behind 'consumer rights'?

I last flew in September and the price was 300 bucks for one way non-stop flight. Now, in April, it's 600 dollars for the non-stop, and the cheapest flight has a layover, AND is 80 (380) dollars more. Is there a reason for the large increase in flying costs these past 6 months?

I was pulled over for speeding in the Adirondacks. I went to court. The officer didn't show up. The judge told me that I could plead guilty to a (no-points) charge and pay $100, or the prosecutor would drop the charges and then refile them, forcing me to drive 2 1/2 hours to court a second time. So of course I agreed to plead guilty and pay a hundred bucks.
Is this legal? Or is it double jeopardy? Is there anything I could have done? YANML.

I'm not impulsive or a risk taker, but I'm going to surprise my wife by taking her to see Lady Gaga in NYC next weekend (I'm from Ohio). I don't have tickets, the show is sold out. Have any of you had success in getting tickets to sold out shows? If so, how can I emulate your success?
Thanks a lot!
Oh, and I'm not soliciting for tickets. I'm sincerely asking for your advice. Thanks a lot!

Given that the airlines are reducing the numbers of flights due to the economic downturn, what is the optimal time to book cheap flights? In the past, I've had great success booking domestic flights 2-3 days before. This time, we will be booking 2 round trip tickets. I just booked a flight from the western US to Montreal for my husband, three weeks ahead, as we found the planes were filling up rapidly. We didn't get much of a deal.
Standby is not on option as I'll be flying with an autistic person.
Any and all hive-mind thoughts are welcome. Thanks!
