We have been so eager to get back to concerts, but with COVID, it's just been such a struggle. Places are back and forth with their policies and I'm still hesitant to get in large crowds if people are not vaccinated.
I don't mind being outdoors though. I go back and forth a lot with my comfort level. I want things to get back to "normal" but I know that will never be.
Anyway.
I saw that Chris Stapleton is coming to our town this summer and I immediately texted Steve to ask if he'd want to go (knowing he would). We've been waiting to see him.
Tickets go on sale this week and I'm so anxious.
I don't do lawn tickets anymore - I'm just too old for that shit. If we can't get seats that are covered and we are ergo protected from the elements...then I'm not going.
Plus, having seats just makes everything so much easier. You have your designated spot.
If you have to go to the bathroom? Go ahead - no need to worry about your spot getting taken.
If you want to refill your beverage? Same thing - no need to worry about people pushing their way into your spot.
And you can sit.
The best is when Steve and I got aisle and the first row before a break so there was no one in front of us or to the side of us.
We'll see what I can score for us this time.
And it's the night before we leave for vacation so it'll be a sweet way to kick off vacation!
THAT was stressful!
I signed on to my Ticketmaster account right before 10am to make sure I was ready to go once the tickets were released.
I was hoping to get 4 tickets, all around $150 or so.
Yeah.
That didn't happen.
The tickets were disappearing as fast as I could click on the available seats. I swear, I thought once you clicked on your desired seats they were "held" until you checked out.
Well, I'm not sure what was going on, but they were unclicking as fast as I was clicking.
I called Steve and told him no luck.
Spending 3 minutes on the site the tickets were already up to like $235.
So I stopped trying.
I waited 5 minutes and hopped back on.
I scored decent seats for me and Steve at $185 + fees. Whatever. As long as we're covered (from the weather) I'll pay a higher price.
So YEAH.
Kicking off vacation with a concert!
