the day Bono is scheduled to come to town (and Larry and Adam and the Edge)
Well, I bought my U2 tickets today - it was the fan club presale, so I thought I'd be getting in early on a piece of the action. I guess I did.
I didn't want floor seats (and I use the term loosely - it's all general admission/no chairs) as I'm just getting too old for that. I'm also unable to line up all day to make sure that I get a good spot. So, why bother? I was more than willing to shell out the bucks for (good) side seats.
I got side seats. They're, really, not bad. I have had worse. I have happily had worse. They're just not as good as I'd thought they'd be. I now have to wait for the tickets to go on sale to the general public and see what kind of availability there is. Perhaps the pre-sale tickets really sold out that fast. Or, the pre-sale tickets were limited to some so-so tickets (two of which I got). It may be impossible for me to get anything better and, if that's the case, I'll pay my visa bill and be very happy. However, if I am able to locate better seats on Saturday morning, I will then have a dilemma: spend another whack-load of cash on better seats and try and offer my mediocre (yet just as pricey) pre-sale seats to friends, or let it lie and go buy a pair of binoculars.
It's just going to be unsettled for the next couple of days. I have tickets. I will still get to see Bono in Vancouver on their only Canadian date scheduled so far. I will still probably buy a t-shirt or, at least, another key chain. I will still relentlessly listen to How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb and, closer to the date, all previous U2 albums to the point of driving my husband insane and questioning his will to attend the concert with me.
But I probably won't renew my subscription for the next great pre-sale offer.
