judecorpI am so stressed out right now.
I have spent the last several weeks being nothing but giddy about the Simon & Garfunkel concert tonight. And then while I was at training, Jen left me voicemail that said that Peas and Sarah had gotten us $5 tickets so that we could sell our tickets and sit with them. And I was even MORE excited, because then I would have my money back and I would get to be with cool people!
But then later she let me know that the tickets are up high and behind the stage, and now I have this enormous decision. I hate enormous on-the-spot decisions, and I'm so freaked out now that I'm not even excited about the concert anymore. I mean, I can sit with my friends and sit behind the stage, and look at the back of S&G's heads for $5, or I can sit in our already purchased seats way up in the nosebleeds but in front of the stage, and may not see anything but blobs for $60. And then there's the possibility that we wouldn't be able to sell my expensive tickets even if we wanted to. Or that we would sell them and I would regret it, because they might have screens up in the nosebleeds or something.
I hate this.

Date: 2003-10-22 02:10 pm (UTC)in a nutshell - back of stage - no guarantee there won't be equipment blocking view
front of stage far away - there *will* be screens for the nosebleed sections.

Either way, enjoy the show!

Date: 2003-10-22 08:38 pm (UTC)I'm sorry you couldn't get tickets. That rots. I ended up sitting in the $5 seats and selling my two $52 tickets for a combined discount price of $70. Not too shabby. I wish you could have come with!
If you can't make out the song I left on your voicemail, it's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters."

Date: 2003-10-24 02:23 am (UTC)The only tickets I heard about for the show out here were $460 each, and I thought that was CHEAP!
What the heck?

Date: 2003-10-27 08:56 pm (UTC)I am treating myself to something occasionally, but we're backing off of the concerts for a while.
Maybe I'll take my [still somewhat hypothetical] son to a Simon and Garfunkel viewing someday and the Sunnyside Old Folks Repository. By then, I'll be able to afford it.
