Back in July, my sister, my friend, and I went to a Chris Brown concert in Cincinnati, Ohio. We were very excited about this concert but we didn't have enough money to get a hotel room in the heart of Cincinnati. My dad gets points that he can use to get hotel rooms, so we had to get a hotel that was about 20 minutes away from the concert venue in Erlanger, Kentucky. The good side to being that far away is that my dad said he'd pay for our Ubers to and from the venue.

Once we got to our hotel, we started getting glammed up for our big event. Going to see Chris Brown was so exciting because who wouldn't want to see a man as hot as him?! Anyway, after about three hours of outfit changes and attempts to put on fake lashes, we were ready to get the show on the road. We got on the Uber app and requested a driver to take us from our hotel to Riverbend Music Center. That ride was only $22, which was surprising in such a busy area.

We got to the concert a little late because of all the traffic, but we made it just in time for the opening acts that we wanted to see. The concert was full of people and turned out to be AMAZING! Chris Brown? One iconic man. We all had the best time and didn't want it to end, but unfortunately, it had to. After the concert was over, we started walking to the designated pick-up parking lot while trying to call an Uber. I got on the app to call one and the price had jumped up to $79. We all realized that we couldn't call one just yet. The prices would be high since the concert had just ended. We waited a bit before checking the prices again, but it only lowered a whopping two dollars.

I called my dad to tell him about the expensive prices. He had a fit but realized that Uber was the only way we could get home, so he gave us the OK to get one so that we could leave. The price for it ended up being $78, and we all felt really bad. The good part was that we had a really nice driver who was very outgoing. After about 30 minutes of traffic, we finally made it to our hotel.

After I got back to the room, I got the notification asking if I wanted to tip the driver. I opened the app and looked at the final price in shock. The overall total ended up being $101.31, not the $78 that we thought we were paying. My dad had just gotten the emailed receipt and called me in anger. 23 extra dollars were being charged for our ride and we had no clue why. My dad ended up calling the company and complained to them about the situation. That was the last time my father ever paid for any of my Ubers.
