Linked from that really good Super Bowl article:<p>Consequential Damages: These are intended to reimburse the injured party for indirect damages other than contractual loss; for example, loss of business profits due to an undelivered machine. In order to recover, the injuries must &quot;flow from the breach,&quot; i.e. be a direct result of the breach, and be reasonably foreseeable to both parties when they entered into the contract.<p>Your opinion sounds like it comes from experience, which is usually useful in legal matters. However, buying a new ticket at the inflated price seems very reasonable to foresee by both parties and the small-claims court judges I&#x27;ve known are usually no-nonsense. If this came up in my life I would personally buy the tickets and take the risk in small claims court 3 months later.
