Until posting this, I hadn't noticed that the tickets for Arcade Fire are listed as balcony seats. I went back to Ticketmaster checking on floor seats, and there weren't any available. Tickets went on sale at 10am, and that's when I purchased them (my confirmation email was sent at 10:03am). How the hell could floor seats sell out THAT fast? I'm kinda irritated that I spent $70 (stupid Ticketmaster fees ... the tickets were $25/each, but the fees made the total amount cost almost as much as 3 tickets should cost) to get tickets for a show to which I won't be able to get close to the stage ...
I decided that for now, I'm only purchasing tickets for the Decemberists show on the 12th, because I think it'll be tough to get two Sundays off in a row (the 11th for the Decemberists and 18th for Arcade Fire), not to mention the fact that I'll have to get several other days off throughout the month for the other shows that I plan on attending. I've already seen them twice, so I guess I can sacrifice seeing them two nights in a row a second time. If I find that I can get the day off, I may go back and purchase tickets for the Sunday show (provided there are still some available).

I've been the closer at work all weekend, and I am again tonight (I'm enjoying the no sidework thing). So far the weekend has been decent, minus the part where our computer system went down on Friday night and we had to deliver hand-printed checks to our guests and manually process credit cards. When the computers finally came back up, all the information from before the crash was no longer in the computer, so that night we were only able to leave with the money we had made after the computers had gone back up (that, and the manually processed payments, too). Luckily they were able to get everything squared away last night (after our owner spent a good 15 hours in the office processing information on the computer), and we were given our money then.
I'm hungry.
