Wishlist question:  I am getting an option to select myself and an additional ticket for myself. I don't remember this option last year. In the past I have had to select a "friend" to buy an extra ticket.  Can I buy two tickets for an eevnt for myself?

Yes. This would give you the chance to get a ticket for someone who isn't on your friends list already. It also would let you get a ticket for someone on your list without messing up their wish list and blocking them from some other event they wanted.
