Save Those Pennies.

You know what I hate? Besides big venues, Uggs, meat and Live Nation?  I’ll tell you what.  I hate assholes who try to sell you tickets for a show that originally cost them $12 for $30 each!  Are you crazy? No, seriously they must be missing chunks of brain matter.  I have, on many occasions, paced outside The Church like a caged lion awaiting my prey, people with extra tickets.  I have always succeeded in scoring two or sometimes three tickets at original price or even cheaper.  But there are always those greedy poachers who want more.

When Passion Pit came to The Church I knew I would get into that show one way or another.  So sister and I did our thing. We begged and pleaded for tickets.  One guy wanted to sell us two tickets for $40!  The tickets were originally ten.  Even if they had paid the dreaded service charge, it wouldn’t be anywhere near twenty bucks.  Another couple was willing to part with their beloved, extra tickets for fifteen bucks each.  Much more reasonable yes, but still not acceptable. I was not satisfied.  Just as I began to lose hope, my angel came along. Finally, some nice and economically friendly hipsters sold us two tickets for less than original price!  I wanted to give a big SUCK IT to all the money mongers and shove my cheap ticket in their faces.

I am not sure where all this hostility came from, maybe from the fact that I make less than poverty level?  Regardless, I was thrilled that I got to see Passion Pit and that the price was right.  So, a big thanks to the reasonable people out there and a big SUCK IT to the greedy ones.
