It just doesn’t seem like you Space to buy a ticket for a show and hang out in the downstairs bar the entire time. You’ve changed!!
Honestly, I don't recall who bought the tickets. I guess it would have been pretty crappy of me to let someone buy me a ticket and then not hang out with them*. So maybe your point is valid. But I don't recall, this was 25 years ago.
*I'll await for a slightly zippy response from Julian or a less than slightly zippy response from Cock.
