How much is the man’s ticket?

One. How much is the man’s ticket?
Man: Can you tell me how much a ticket is for Saturday’s performance of Macbeth?
Woman: The front stalls and the circle are the most expensive at ￡16.50. The middle seats in the stalls cost ￡15 and the back three rows cost ￡12.50, but the view isn’t so good. All seats are ￡10 for students.
Man: I’ll have one in the middle please. I’m not a student. I’ve got my credit card here.

Three. Why was the man late home?
Woman: Hi! Have you had a busy day at the office?
Man: Yes, sorry I’m late. I didn’t get the bus because Pete offered me a lift. We didn’t realise the motorway was closed because of a lorry accident, so it took much longer than normal. I’ll be even later tomorrow with the train strike.
