Hi guys...
I know, I know, this is the wrong area for this, but mods, PLEASE don't move it anywhere else...
You guys may know me from other areas of this place, esp the News section...I just discovered this place , I mean, just came out of lurkdom mode in PLEBA a week ago or so...I'm the gal who felt guilty about drooling after Edge at the Grammys, with his personal crisis going on (thanks for everyone who replied to me for that BTW...Made me feel a lot better...
)
The reason I'm putting this here is b/c I'm sure I'd get some kind of reply..you guys seem to be a connected bunch...
For the Yanks on here, esp from the Northeast: (I'm from Albany, NY)
Here is the thing: I have a nasty feeling that the rumors will be true, that the third leg of the tour is being announced on Monday, and that tix are going on sale NEXT WEEK????
I just got done with the whole drama of the 1st leg!! My God, luckily I got tickets to the top show on my list, and possibly another one, but the band hasn't come to my hometown yet, they always have ever since we got an arena in 1990 and Albany was one of the rumored postponed dates...
Hope I don't bore you with a sob story, but be patient with me and listen...I'm sure everyone has a ticket story, and I guess I should feel lucky I have any at all, but here goes...(I'll make this as short as possible.)
A year andf half ago, I began saving for the tour. I assumed that the prices would go up to as much as $200 so I planned for 4 shows, 2 tickets each (the same way I did for Elevation, and the first tour I could afford to go to more than 2 shows.) But last May, my grandmother had a stroke, and it was a bad time financially for my mother, who had to take turns with my uncle caring for her at her home (we couldn't afford a home health aide.) Luckily it was the midest possible stroke and only her hand was affected. But as she lived 4 hrs away from us and wouldn't leave her home, the travel expenses etc got pretty high. I had to help; what could I do? So from May-Sept. 2004, I watched as my carefully built up tour fund (a little each check for most of a year) largely vanished. Luckily, duting the holiday season, my boss let me work some overtime, but that was only enough for me to be able to afford 1 ticket.
The 3 shows I wanted to go to were NYC, Boston and Albany, in that order. I knew no-one in Boston to wait in line for me, or order for me (I got the '01 tix thru Propaganda....that enabled me to relize a 20-yr dream for U2 in Boston...2 shows, to boot...RIP) I put out a "help!" message in Wire, and someone answered from the City of Blinding Lights. He offered to cover for me for MSG, and he came through for me in the general sale. Boston, though..I still haven't been able to get. GA? I don't care. I ordered for GA only once, for the 1st "9/11 show" at MSG, and being there, at that first of the 2 shows, 2 feet from Edge...well, that is the pinnacle of my concertgoing life, and unless I experience my own version of the Melpop roll (don't we all wish, M
nothing could compare.
The tickets my new frined got were the cheaper nosebleeds, so I had no problem saving up to pay him. He was going to let me wait to pay...
Wll, you can see where this is going....what I want to knowis, since I am even broker than I was before (my refund isn't even coming until early April! DANGIT!) the only thing I can try for are GA's, that's all I can afford, but I know I won't be able to get them, I'll never get through. I have an unused code, but not the fastest computer...I am getting hold of my friend alerting him about next week, he does... (OMG!?!? My nerves!!) but what I want to know is...
Since my friend will only be able to get NYC tix (and not good ones at that....he does not want GA, and the brokers willtake all the lower tier again..) can anyone on here cover for me for Boston (F they play there, I don't see why they would though; they usually don't in the fall, and not after 3 dates in the spring?) and/or Albany and NYC? I will not try to order Albany b/c I can wait in line there, but after the stories about the people who waited in line not gettng tix...
Well...here is what I am interested in: NYC (if they play there..I want a cover in case my friend is too broke to buy now)
Boston, and Albany, in that order...GA"s if possible, and if not, the pricey ones. And here is the catch: I will be honest and say I can't send the money right now. I will have to pay you back in stages. If I wasn't totally broke, as well as being not connected!!!
It would be great to have one person per city looking out for me...I don't know any fans personally, and my family ceetainly won't buy for me. And it;s just for me.
Thanks for readong this, and I hope someone replies!
Pre-sale, general sale, I don't care how you get through, but could you buy an extra ticket for me, and wel willwork out payment arrangements!!

No laughing matter. My sister has epilepsy and has only gone to a couple of concerts long ago for that very reason.
