Concert Tickets

Finally your favorite artist is doing a tour and finally he/she/they’re coming to your country. Say hello to your heart almost beating out of your chest, sweaty hands, red cheeks, thoughts going crazy, exploding ovaries or whatever. Finally you have the chance to see them. But then the next challenge presents itself; will you be able to get concert tickets?

In my case it always seems to be a huge struggle to get tickets. The first time Bruno Mars (yep, there he is again) came to the Netherlands I found out one day before the show and of course there were no tickets available *le cry*. I promised myself I would never let that happen again and indeed, the next time I found out that he was coming a lot earlier. About 3 hours after all the tickets were sold out. I was never that frustrated in my life before. But I learned my lesson and a couple of days after that show a new show was announced.

So this time I knew about the show in time. Yay. But Bruno was becoming reeaaally popular so I wasn’t the only person in this country who wanted to go to his show, and people in this country are like sharks (sorry guys) so this was about to get difficult. To make things even more complicated I was having a test at the moment the tickets would be up for sale (you can imagine that I failed that test). Me and my friends convinced our parents to cancel all of their plans for that morning and sit in front of the computer and get those tickets or else…. I’m glad we did that cause the tickets were sold out in about 15 minutes (I told you they are sharks) and miraculously they got tickets. Apparently 3 times really is a charm and I was finally going to see Bruno. 

Well, I (barely) survived that  and then I got the chance to get tickets for Jason Mraz. I’ve been waiting for a chance to see him for almost 4 years so the sweaty hands and irregular heartbeats were back. And once again I had something to do in uni that I couldn’t miss and the friend I’m going with had a test. So once again it were our parents getting the tickets. I’m really starting to think that whoever decides when these tickets are up for sale has some form of deep hate for me, but I’m finally on the winning hand.
