You would need to pay the difference in fare or $.90 because you can't use the AAA discount since your not buying a ticket 3 days in advance.

Ah. So instead of getting a ticket that could be used practically anytime on Friday I purchased a ticket that officially could only be used on one train. I outsmarted myself.

Luckily, it's only 90 cents that I might have to pay. As long as the AGR points post properly, no problem.
