So, my work schedule these days is brutal. Add the 120 mile a day commute to a 7 day, 65 hour work week......well, I am just plain tired.
So I notice that Motley Crue has added Jackson, Ms to the tour, and I am psyched. I went to the Birmingham show and they just blew me away. Best show I have ever seen. So I say, fuck it, I will go see this one to. Only problem is, I work when tickets are scheduled to go on sale online through ticketmaster. Hmmmmmmm.
Ok, my mom has saturdays off, how tough can it be to go online and buy the ticket? So I tell her. They go on sale at 10am. Get on there at like 9:57 and just keep hitting reload/refresh untill the page goes active.
Now, since I have already went to the show, I tell her, if promoters and shit have already bought all the good tickets, don't bother. Only get the tickets if it's in section A, B, or C. Floor, rows 1-20. I am not paying $90 bucks for a shitty ticket right.
So heres what happens.
She does exactly as I asked. Gets online right on time, clicks refresh untill the page comes active, and wouldn't ya know it, first ticket available..........SECTION A ROW 1 SEAT 6. HOLY FUCK! I have NEVER, in 34 years, got a front row seat to a show before, much less a kick ass show of my favorite fucking band ever! She starts filling out the info to buy the thing and realizes that she put her name on the ticket, so what does she do? She fucking clicks the "back" button!!!!!!!!!!FFFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!
If you have ever purchased tickets online you realize that this cannot be done because of the demand of tickets and will put you to the back of the cue. GOODBYE SECTION A ROW 1 SEAT 6, HELLO SECTION C ROW 13 SEAT 30!!!
For 45 seconds for the first time in my life, I had front row tickets. S I G H!
