The results of my solution are different because I assumed that the statement 'Pizza OR Burger along with a Side and Drink' means that there should be counted only 2 types of tickets including Pizza, Side and Drink (1) or Burger, Side and Drink (2), meaning that those tickets that include both pizza and burger should not be taken in consideration. Also, I thought that 'since June 2013' should include June, but to be closer to the results provided in output, I excluded this month in the filter. 

Anyway, thanks for the challenge, it was interesting!
