Inqlings: Ticketmaster has a glitch with Chesney show in Philadelphia

You paid $25 for a club-level ticket to the Kenny Chesney show at Lincoln Financial Field in June?
Better cough up some more, says Ticketmaster, which notified online buyers that they were undercharged because of an "inadvertent error at the box office." The price of an upper-deck club-level ticket is $99.50. Plus fees.
TicketNews.com, which broke the story, says Ticketmaster is giving buyers the option of getting a refund or paying the additional $74.50 by Friday.
Between 200 and 300 tickets were affected. "This was an unfortunate glitch that when discovered was immediately rectified," said Eagles rep Pamela Browner White. "It was an unfortunate error where both parties stepped forward to fix it."
Ticketmaster policy states that it can cancel tickets if there's an error. Spokeswoman Amanda Mills declined to comment.
The June 18 show's 60,000 seats are all but spoken for, said a rep of show sponsor WXTU (92.5).
Note that $25 is the price of a cheap seat. The others sell for $59.50, $99.50, $125, and $225. Plus fees.
A new game
Sportscaster Phil Andrews is now behind the camera.
On Monday, Andrews - who spent 10 years on Action News before a three-year engagement on Comcast SportsNet - has started as television coordinator at Radnor High.
Andrews is guiding the school's cable channel, RadTV, as teacher Nikki Krohn takes maternity leave.
"I'm just here, trying to keep the ship steady," says Andrews, who is seeking his teaching certification by taking classes at Cabrini College. He previously coached soccer at Radnor.
Andrews plans to teach kids the basics of writing and on-camera work, "and in return, they'll teach me [editing on] the iMac."
