MarcO Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 sucks the big wazooo. probably would have been better if you hadn't been told of the seats. sorry, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Posted September 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Thanks guys.... I actually shed a tear about this when I found out... people at work think I am strange, no doubt.... I do not think I will be able to socially interact with these people until late next year.... I've had break-ups that have been easier than this....

shainhouse Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 I don't feel sorry for you at all Mary, we're all in the same boat. Atleast I saved nearly $600 Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainhouse Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 I didn't mean to be rude because I didn;t intend the last message to come out that way, I'm just in the same boat as you and many others, so we'll just save up for summer tour. Everything's gonna be alright... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 That is flat out nasty! Although I do not know the details of the deal you had worked out, if it was me, I think it would be years until I spoke to that person again. I am working my butt off to get tickets. I *HOPE* I get extras because this is the first please I will turn. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Posted September 17, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 That's ok Shainhouse... I actually wasn't banking on getting any tickets through mail order... the big deal for me is just the combination of how great it all would have been.... the pristine package of 1st night back in NYC on new year's eve coupled with front row centre....... being that close on that particular night. Oh well... I'll just obliterate myself elsewhere I guess! ------ Brain - Thanks..... I know... I don't think the person did it to be nasty but I'm sensing some bribery was involved (?) anyways, the same person who did this also got me into Radio City for Phish so I guess I can;t complain too much.... I am going to have issues though being around these two for both the hype and aftermath of this event..... distance could be the best remedy....

Basher Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 This brings up an interesting hypothetical: You end up having 2, 4, or however many extra tickets to NYE@MSG. All your immediate and closet friends either have tickets or cannot go. You decide to offer up the extras to the Sanc - you have decided NOT to make hundreds/thousands of dollars by sellling the tickets to scalpers. HOW do you decide who to sell the extras too? I would *love* to be faced with this dilemma, and I know it may be a little farfetched, but how would YOU go about doing this? Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberHippie Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 Oh Mary, that's such a nasty burn! I'm sure it will work out for you though. Maybe not front and center, but you'll get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
