Concert Ticket
Its a long one.
My mate wanted to know if I wanted to see Roger Waters. This was 2002. Obviously i would, but he wanted the money NOW! Even though it was going on his g/f credit card, and she wouldn't have to pay for it for 30 days. Wanker. So I said, i can't right now. So I had to forfeit my ticket rights.

Fast Forward 6 months and its concert day. I can't not go. I look on ebay and get a 20th row ticket for £40. Borrow some cash of Papa and get my arse to Wembley.

I'm waiting outside for my ebay contact, but he is running late. I hear the tanoy telling me that Roger Starts at 8 with no support and he'll be starting in 10 minutes. I think "Well, i made it this far. 10mins won't matter". The ebay guy is running late, scarily late. then jsut as everything seems lost, this guy approaches me and asks if i am waiting for someone/ticket? I said Yes and he walks off. I then call out: Hold up mate, whats the beef? He tells me his girlfriend is ill so can't make it. The ticket is face value (£32), 8th row from the front and he'll wait with me while i go through the barriers, so I know he is legit. So now i have extra money for a beer. He gets me in, I get a beer, 8th Row. Sit down, the lights go down and the show starts. Best night ever. Oh, and my mate was somewhere near the roof and near the back. In the words of Alan Partridge, needless to say, i had the last laugh. Felt a bit bad about the guy from Ebay though.

So wait, did he charge you for the ticket?

Did you post this story on completely the wrong messageboard?

I don't think so...

OK. Fair enough.
It's just I didn't realise this week's question was "Mundane Acts of Commerce."

Soz.
