That. Is. Awesome!

It was really incredible. Amazing, amazing show

Sounds cool. I'm pleased to see they were serious about making sure you'd obtained your tickets properly. It annoys me when ticket scalpers snap up all the tickets and resell them for twice as much. Events are way too expensive, but if people are going to pay such prices the money should be going to the people running the event (hopefully mostly the artist), not to unscrupulous jerks who are in the right place at the right time.

(Just be glad they didn't build the stage out one more row so you were under it! :-) )

Oh, people are still doing that. Tickets are going upwards of £1000. No idea how they get past the ID checks

She's amazing. And excellent!
