Summary: 


	I believe that you can deduct an opera/symphony ticket:

	IF it meets the charitable contributions laws defined by the IRS
	AND you donated that ticket to the charity (you didn't go).

	You can deduct the portion of the ticket that was donated to a 
	charity	(on your behalf thru the ticket seller).  The portion 
	that was donated to the charity should've been defined when you
	bought the ticket.
