Boston show; secondary ticket agent vs. ticketmaster

[GoldDustOrphan]

I'm taking my cousin to the show at Banknorth Garden for her birthday, which was yesterday. She hasn't been to a concert in 15+ years; loves Stevie and Rod Stewart. Haven't told her we are sitting in the 8th row. (Section A, Row 8, seats 4 & 5.)

I purchased the pair from a ticket agent because I wanted really good seats. If I purchased them directly from Ticketmaster, the pair & $33 in extra charges would have cost me $333. The secondary ticket agent: a total of $460. I thought this was a great deal - an extra $62 bucks per ticket was worth it for amazing seats and no stress. But I soon realized how distorted my reasoning is. An hour ago, I unearthed my stub for FM's show at the Garden on Oct. 31, 1987.

My friend Sandra and I waited out over-night and were first in line at a ticketmaster in Salem, Mass. Our dream came true. Front row tickets to see Stevie on Halloween night.

The price? See the photo below.

I feel old.

She should feel old as well so I am posting this on her Facebook page.
