Two beers cost family $2,550

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2 (UPI) -- An Indiana family said they were shocked when their credit card statement said a pair of beers they bought at a convention cost $1,497.50 each.

The family, who asked not to be named, said the beers at the NFL Experience concession stand at the Indiana Convention Center Jan. 28 were supposed to cost a total $14, but they later found their credit card had instead been charged $2,995, WXIN-TV, Indianapolis, reported Thursday.

"We just went up there and grabbed two beers signed it, got our drinks and went on," the credit card owner said. "Even though there may be lines and people waiting and everyone wants to get through quickly, still make sure you check the cost of everything and when you get home check your statements because you never know with such a big event there could be an error somewhere."

The convention center's concession manager, Centerplate, issued a statement Wednesday night saying officials are working to correct the overcharge. The company said such problems are rare.
