Concerts/Shows

I'm tempted to write a Holden Caulfield-esque entry about hanging out at the playground yesterday, but that's overdone, and I don't want to be unoriginal and emo.

Instead, I will whine about not being able to get good tickets to the Jason Mraz show in Toronto because of my super slow computer. Ugh.

The ticket selling time was 10:00 am EST, I got up at 9:40am (usually, I wake up at 11am!) I turned my computer on, and I waited until it was 10. And then my computer took a ridiculous amount of time to load pages, which is probably why I ended up with tickets at the level 200 (which is not what I wanted, I wanted level 100 tickets). So then I tried getting tickets at Livenation, directly, not Ticketmaster, and I ended up with level 100 seats... at $62 each!

Which I suppose isn't bad because $62 isn't $100. But here I am thinking, I can't really afford this. $62 is almost as much as a Wonderland season pass, which I didn't end up getting when all my friends got one. Spending $62 for one night seems like alot compared to the seasons pass, which you can use as many times as you want.

Then again, I've been known to walk out of CD stores with $100 purchases, or go on shopping sprees which go over that amount expedentially.

I guess I'm glad I work at the Molson Amphitheatre, where the show is happening. I'm hoping that my boss will let me off of the show early, and I'll be able to enjoy most of the show on the floor, free of charge.

Last year, I was able to see John Mayer, Backstreet Boys, and Simple Plan (haha whatever), all at the front. Unfortunately, I was working the whole time when Maroon 5 came by.

  2. I'm just hoping that Butch Walker won't ever get super famous! I loved him in a small venue where I stood right beside him when he jumped into the crowd.
