(I have actual vacation days with this job!! I'm taking two days off, the day of the show and the day after, and I'm still getting paid for them. This "vacation day" thing is something people take for granted. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, cos I've never had it before. It's weird and awesome all at once.)
Actually, the day the tix went on sale, I was here online, ready to go, and there was something monumentally messed up w/Livenation/Ticketmaster's site. The minute the tix went on sale, I put in 2 tickets to the DC show, best available and hit search. Did their stupid captcha thingy, hit search again, and was told "sorry, we can't find any matches for your request." This went on for two hours, and only two or three times could it find any tickets available, and they were on the floor in the back end of the arena, for $149.00 each!! No thanks.
I went to stubhub, and found a pair on Ed's side, a little higher up than I wanted, but 3rd row of the section, for about what I would've paid for the main concourse seats I wanted in the first place. A little nervous for their validity, but at least stubhub guarantees if they're not valid, you'll get your money back. I'd hate to miss the show, wow would that s*ck, but at least I don't have the added worry of being out $350 as well....
