Rain Check

Categories: Credit

Spelled differently, it could have been all about the time that King Wentzeslaus ruled above Prague.

But spelled as is, a rain check has to do with a canceled event. You paid $282 to get into the nosebleed seats at Wimbledon, and then it did what it does best in London. So they had to halt play until the skies cleared and the grass court sucked down all the rain.

Ticketholders would then have received a stub or ticket or receipt to return, without additional payment, at a later date, at which point they can go back to their seats and watch the remainder of the match between Federer and whomever Federer is beating this year.
