Article: When considering how much you want to spend on a gift, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable with the amount you are giving. Knowing how much you can spend will help you determine which kind of tickets you should get. Some tickets can get very expensive while other tickets are cheaper to get.  Other things that you could consider are the importance of the occasion and the importance of your relationship with that person. If you are getting tickets for a family member, you'll most likely want to spend more on it than if you're getting it for a friend or acquaintance. Think about the person's personality and the things that they regularly like to do. You want to get tickets they will be excited about. Once you have a list of potential tickets, you can start to narrow down your options based on budget and their schedule.  For instance, if the person is a sports buff you should get them tickets to see a sporting event. If the person's favorite band is coming to town, you can get them tickets to see them perform. Figure out when the person works or if they have a vacation coming up. Consider their schedule when purchasing tickets and try to choose a time or day when they aren't usually working. You can also ask the person about their schedule without making your gift intentions obvious.  Say something like "I know you don't usually work on the weekends, but are you going to be doing anything on the 25th? Want to hang out or something?" If the person has time off from work coming up, you can purchase them tickets for a longer vacation. Tickets make for great gifts because they are an experience that can leave lasting memories. When you are purchasing tickets for someone, consider if you can go with them. If you are good friends, they will appreciate the company, and you can share the memory together.  For example, you can both see a sports game together, go to the movies together, or both go to a play. If you are getting vacation tickets for someone in your family, see if you can adjust your schedule to go with them.
