20. I have a good story about how I got 4th row seats & was able to take my mom

I went to wait in line for tickets and I was about 20th (pissed!). Mind you, in the "good ol days" I would lay out at night to be first or close to it. (And you may be aware of all that follows) So Ticketmaster didnt go in order of the line in order to STOP people from doing the overnight thing. You'd draw a number and that was your new position in line. The girl comes out with the bucket of tickets & tells everyone "The way these tickets are numbered, number 300 will actually be number 1" So I do my duty & draw....number 335. UGH. But the couple in front of me; the lady looked at her husband and said "SO this is 302 that means we're 2nd in line?" And I jumped in and said "I'll give you 40 bucks if you'll buy my tickets". The husband said "well I'm going to renew my DL after this so that will pay for my license AND lunch. OK"
I couldn't believe it. And boy was my mom surprised. Never had that luck again.
