This is what happened when I decide to go to my first circus...

My friends and I decided to go see the Ringling Bros. Circus. When we
received our seats we found them in the nose bleed section. My friend and
I went up to find our seats. When I sat down and looked back down to the
ring, I began to panic from the height and how steep the seats were. My
friend had also freaked out, and we went to our other friends. My other
friends freaked out just seeing up where the seats were, and we went to
the Customer's Service office and told them what happened, and to see if
we could get lower seats. They said there were no seats available. So we
tried to go on and watch the show, only causing me to have more panic
attacks, because of the stress of the situation. People, also, kept taking
our seats every time we moved. After the circus had been running for an
hour, I had a total of 5 panic attacks, and the Mackenzie Arena said they
could not give us a refund, after a talk with the Circus provider we were
given lower seats, but I was too traumatized to even reenter the building.
So three of our group of four left the Circus completely terrified me and
ripped us off of our money. For this being my first time going to a
circus, I never see myself ever going back.

This is what I wrote to the News.

I did have 5 panic attacks because i'm terrified of heights.
They never did anything about the seats till an hour later when they were threatened.
