I don't remember how old I was but I remember once my mom told me she and my step-dad had tickets to go see Chicago. I thought it was very odd that you needed a ticket to get into a big city. I imagined cars lined up at all the entrance points into the city to give a ticket to someone in a booth......kinda like the lines getting into the parking lots at Six Flags.
