My high school teacher told me, 'You should go to college even if you're in the F column because there's a huge difference between a high school graduate and a university graduate,' but the salary of the companies you can get into from the F column is the same as a high school graduate, so it's pointless. - Togetter

My front row ticket became the last row

On October 19th, at the e-sports event 'Red Bull Home Ground APAC Qualifier' held at Ryogoku Kokugikan, I went to the venue with a ticket for the front row of the box seats, which was purchased on a first-come, first-served basis, but there was an entire row of seats that didn't exist. Those who had tickets for that row were made to wait until the very last moment before the show started, and as a result, they were guided to the last row of the box seats. A staff member explained to me, 'We issued the ticket for the wrong row, so this is the seat you were supposed to be in.'
That day, tickets for the box seats were on sale for 20,000 yen (including merchandise) or 12,000 yen, but the back row of the box seats were on sale for 4,000 yen as student seats with a limited view, so it was strange that the last row behind that was the original seat. As an alternative seat, it was a downgrade at best.
