I really do enjoy what you have to say in all your posts. However, are you aware that you create extremly long sentences? Was puntuation and writing what you excelled in, in school? Perhaps chellervisu would like to add her input?

I have a love/hate relationship with Ticketmaster.com. The service fees are exorbitant (of course), but its a tremendous service.

I remember paying only $ 6.50 for an outdoor concert, gates opening at 10 am with over 10 bands performing throughout the day & night with Fleetwood Mac being the final act, I also remember a nasty dust storm appeared just as F/M left the stage, the crowd were running for there lives, fences were falling down, it was crazy & awesome..

That was probably the result of the band playing new songs to the audience!

You could either call the 800 number, or ticketmaster used to have little stores in our local strip malls. It was either brave the weather and lines, or be on hold for an hour. Either way, good seats were impossible to come by. We ended up in the back, near the lawn. Which was fine once I saw what the Time lineup was... but I digress.

Oh, you didn't know the lineup going in????

LOL, but not quite!!! although it could of been amusing when they returned for their encore, with the band on the stage watching 1000's of people running away & breaking down fences to get out of there. Come back we have NOT finished yet!!!!

I remember waiting in line for Bruce Springsteen tickets when I was fifteen in 1985. My mother wouldn't let me sleep over on the street in front of the record store , that sold the tickets. But she did let me go really early, at like 5 am or something, to meet my best friend and stand in this line until the record store opened. We went to the beach the day before, and got way too much sun,and we probably didn't eat and so I remember that I passed out on the line, the medics wanted to take me to the hospital, because I hit my head on the sidewalk , but I was not leaving that line. Anyway, we got our Bruce tickets, and that was how I used to get my tickets, by waiting in line in front of the good old " Record Factory", on 86th Street, in Brooklyn.
PS>The ticket was $17.50 and the Venue was Giants Stadium
