I am proud to report that even though I am incredibly sore, I still did a bit of exercising last night. My typical M.O. is to exercise too much one day and then be so sore that I don’t do anything for several days, then just forget that I was going to exercise at all and before you know it three months have passed. One of the things I do when I have time is just put my ipod on and put on a very busy playlist and just dance (I remember when I was going out to the clubs on a regular basis and dancing for four or five hours at a time… I was very thin then, even with the large amounts of alcohol I would consume… I still have a pair of Z Cavaricci (remember those?) jean shorts I used to wear back then - now, I think maybe one of my thighs would fit in the waist band, but I can’t bring myself to get rid of them). I AM GOING TO LOSE THOSE PESKY POUNDS!!!
In 2 ½ weeks I’m going to see George Strait and Reba McIntire; I still don’t know where my seats are, which makes me a bit nervous, considering the concert sold out in less than an hour and a half. Here’s the deal I get through work: before tickets go on sale, they ask anyone who wants tickets so send an email and a check for the number of tickets they want. They only give a few days, and after the deadline they submit a sponsor request to the ticket broker for X number of seats, we then have to wait a few days until we find out if they are doing sponsor block tickets or not and whether our request was accepted. We do find out before the tickets go on sale whether the sponsor ticket request is accepted or not. If the request was accepted, we get the number of tickets we requested and they deposit our check. If the request was denied, they send our check back and we have to fight with everyone else at the ticket location or on line. Sounds like a pretty good deal, right? Here’s the catch: we don’t know where our tickets are in the arena, they could be anywhere from floor to ceiling, we don’t find out until we physically get the tickets in hand; also, it isn’t a guarantee that if you purchased two tickets that they will be together. However, we don’t have to pay the outrageous ticket broker fees either, our tickets were $89 and we paid a total of $93.50/each - the people that bought their tickets from tickets.com paid about $16/ticket extra.
