At 20 when an acquaintance told me about how she had been to a Madonna concert and passed out drunk in her seats it was akin to being told that someone had passed out in a church. I was just aghast, for one why would you want to drink so much you pass out in one of the greatest entertainers in our generation concert? For another, why would you pay good money to do it?
In any event. About a month ago I circled February 27th on my calendar-since that was the day Madonna tickets in Dallas went on sale and the day I decided I would be getting tickets to a life list item. 15 minutes before the tickets went on sale I logged onto the ticket master site and hit refresh for 15 agonizing minutes. When colleagues came over to my cube I waved them away in a manner that would suggest I was making life and death decisions in my cubicle.
When the moment came...the tickets were no longer available. Gone.
Because in a matter of 30 seconds scalpers snapped them up.
My sister and I exchanged incredulous text messages before committing to paying double for nose bleed seats from a reseller.
BUTTTT...the tickets have been bought. And in October I will be on "Holiday" with my sister-seeing the great Madonna live.
