I bet you could call the Ryman and ask if she could sit in your lap. She is little, so they ought to. If you could work it out, we would definitely have fun at the show. This would be the second show that we have been beside each other on the front.

I might give them a call. I do have a ticket to get her in the door, and I would think that would be all that mattered to them. 'Course, she's not quite as small as she was the last time you saw her! She's nearly as tall as me!

Then again, don't you think we'll be standing up during most of the show?

I'm afraid that the people answering the phones at the Ryman would tell me that would be ok, but one of the "security" guys standing up front the night of the show could make us move---my kind of luck. That would stink if I've paid the $$$.

I almost bought a set of AA tickets last night from a broker...then I saw the outrageous "service fee" in addition to the ticket prices. Just couldn't do it! (It's still on my mind, though, I won't lie!

)

Hmmm, decisions, decisions!

Be sick for a day wouldn't be the problem. It'll cost me a workweek. Flyin'in from Amsterdam isn't gonna work for a day babe. I'd LOVE to have fun with you at the show, but this is an impossible mission for me.

Hey, I didn't notice the Amsterdam part.

Well, I wish you could come over and see the show with me. Maybe another concert?

Tell me about it! I paid a hundred and something/almost two hundred dollars in service fees and that doesn't count the two tickets at $285.00 apiece. Also, the shipping charge was $25.00. Really, I'm losing quite a bit of money selling the ticket for only the $285.00, but I decide if a real fan bought it and I got part of my money back; it was worth it. It is just crazy, really, to pay that much. I just couldn't pass the tickets up. If it took him this long to tour again, I really doubt if he'll tour ever again after this, so I decided to just go for it. You should take someone with you. They can sit in your other seats with your daughter, and you could take the front row ticket. It is just an idea.

Two hundred bucks in service fees? WTF. That is robbery. I hate the 12 buck TM service fee..

. These brokers make so much extra on just the ticket itself...its pathetic to add on all the extra charges too. Even 285 for a front row is crazy..for Lindsey at least. I hate brokers so much!

I know it is totally crazy, and it makes me soooo mad!!!!

But here I am allowing myself to fall victim to the ticket brokers and their prices. I know it is wrong to do it, but man, I want to go front row so bad. This was the only way. I just wish Ticketmaster would actually honor what they say and not sell to ticket brokers. They should release ALL the tickets to the general population, and let the best people win them. That would be fair.

Funny but, I think I'm the one that bought your extra front row ticket! I just came on here and started reading, and realized I think I'm gonna be your neighbor at the show! Thanks so much again by the way....it's gonna be SOOOO amazing. I'll let you know when I get the ticket in the mail.
