The text on the site explaining what "BP" means: "A Buyer's Premium will be added to each successful bid. For this sale: 25% of the successful bid (minimum $49) per lot. Please see #2 in our Terms & Conditions."

Most ticket prices are pretty reasonable at face value, but they get bought up by bots and resold at insane prices on resell sites that take even more insane fees. And even if you do manage to get face value tickets, ticketmaster usually adds at least 30% extra in "service fees."
A screenshot from the ticketmaster app of a random concert I just picked. Floor seats for $95 each which I think is a reasonable cost for really good seats. Ticketmaster adds an additional $29 each in fees for a 30% increaseAnother screenshot from the ticketmaster app for the same concert, the cheapest seats. $30.50 each for the tickets, but with $12.75 in fees which means Ticketmaster added a 42% increase to the price!!!!! That is insane!!! They make it impossible to buy tickets from anyone else then charge you outrageous fees for the "convenience"

I think about this post a lot

It only took a couple more than 20 questions and very few of them seemed helpful to me but he still got it. Honestly blows my mind every time!
The akinator genie correctly guessing that I was thinking of Harrowhark 'Harrow' Nonagesimus from the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir.

Wow it's kind of insane to me that anyone would make Cordelia's argument in earnest. Of course not following traffic laws is bad, but not all cyclists do that and it is not unique to cyclists. I watched THREE cars in a row run a red light this weekend. I don't turn around blame all drivers for that.
Cordelia Chase from Buffy in a class discussion on The Merchant of Venice: "Shylock should get over himself. People who think their problems are so huge craze me. Like this time I sort of ran over this girl on her bike. It was the most traumatizing event of my life, and she's trying to make it about her leg, like my pain meant nothing."

This is very niche to me, but I found these two stories written by children when I was in college and thought they were the funniest things I'd ever read. Was recently able to find them again thanks to you. It looks like the site still exists but doesn't have these particular stories anymore.
A story from Bedtime.com (and a complete ripoff of the movie Up) called "Down Go the Aliens." Once upon a time, there was an alien. His name was Mr Fredrickson. He always wanted to go to Earth. So, he took a UFO and flew it down to Earth. He had a good time. Oh and I forgot, he had a friend with him named Russell. Then he and Russell flew back home. They lived happily Ever After. The End. Written by Charlie Age 8A story from Bedtime.com called "The Cat and The Tiger." The tiger and the cat were wondering the same thing. Why hadn't the tiger eaten the cat yet? Well, right before he was about to put his mouth on the cat's head his memory came back, they were fooling around and got caught by this elephant. Well, before they could run they were smacked in the head and that's how it all began. The End. ©2009 Jeremy Donadio
