Hawaii, April 8th (and 9th?) - Aloha Stadium! - Part VII

[Thora]

Thanks Carmel. Everything does seem to be working out well for the most part, which is good. My stress level is surprisingly low, which is a blessing.

And yes, I love how much I am needed at work. Gotta love that kind of job security.

Thanks, Carek. I'll definitely give them a call to see what can be done.

 

[Carek1230]

Good luck Thora!

 

[Lila64]

definitely call thora - you got nothing to lose. Maybe sound a bit distraught too

 

[faithingrace]

Okay I've been in a Literacy workshop all day, what is the news? Second show? Don't have time to read the previous posts.

 

[Carek1230]

So far no announcement.

 

[faithingrace]

Is April 8th sold out yet?

 

[Carmelu2fan]

I found this link that explains a little bit about how to obtain the berevement fares and how the process works. Hope that helps Thora.

From the zoo:

I sent an email to ETS Tours asking about group rates to help fellow Zootopians get organized and to see if we could get a deal. Anyway, check this little tidbit - maybe slip - in their email:
Quote:
Tickets: You do not mention whether or not you need tickets for one show or two. Maybe everyone wants to attend both shows, maybe not. We can deal with that. As a special service to people planning to camp out all day, we will arrange an early ticket pick up on each show day. If people want to attend the Friday Luau event, they can be pre-ticketed there. We will also likely run an early shuttle to get fans to the stadium first thing in the morning.

Faith will be rewarded!

Thanks for the link, Carek.

I noticed it said it's for immediate family only. I'm giving my airline a call in the next few minutes, once I get off work. It's definitely worth a shot.

I definitely can sound distraught, Lila! All those years in acting class will be put to good use (finally).

to all.

 

[Carmelu2fan]

That was Carmel not Carek who posted the link but it was Cerek who put the idea in my head.

 

[Thora]

Whoops! Can you tell how fuzzy my brain is right now?! Well, thanks Carmel. You both have been very helpful!

 

[u2forlife]

I was gonna suggest the bereavement fare too, but you are right. Sometimes, it only works if you are a close relative.

Give them the waterworks Thora
That should do it

and point out you are young, living on a budget or fixed income, yada yada. School loans to repay, car, rent... I don't know - use those acting skills!

 

[Thora]

Only a few more minutes of work, then I'm off to call.

I don't think I could lie and say it was a family member, but I'm sure it will be easy enough for me to sound upset, and make them feel sorry for me, and give me a reduction in the fare.

Lila's pretty good at this....

 

[faithingrace]

Friday??? NOOOOOOO!!! I'm flying in Friday.

Tell them it is a sister in law or cousin. Maybe that will work. Good luck!

And good info from ETS too....Something to make one go "Hmmmmmm" about....the LUAU???????!!!!!!!!!! I was
under the impression that was for Hawaiian residents only.

Well well well.......... maybe there is yet hope for an
ANNOUNCEMENT!!

 

[kellyahern]

Friday??? NOOOOOOO!!! I'm flying in Friday.

I think Friday is only for the ETS Luau. (They're having a luau? . )

I'm flying in Friday too.

 

[Carek1230]

I am flying in Friday too.


A Luau???!!!!!! I want for Interlanders to have a Luau!!!




EDIT: Oh and so the ETS folks get bussed in, do their Luau and are there in line. Hmmmmm No fair.

I wonder is this only for the ETS people or can anyone attend. Carmel and Kelly will need a drink once we get there on Friday

 

[kellyahern]

Kelly will probably go to bed because of jet lag

 

[Carmelu2fan]

Cerak is the smart one really, I did not even know a bereavement fare even existed

Hey u2forlife

We need to talk about the car

 

[u2forlife]

Hey u2forlife

Yes, we should get one

There is a small chance the band may wait until the results of the Grammy awards on February 8th. A sweep of the awards would likely result in a new wave of plublicity for the band which would guareentee a sellout for the 2nd show.

 

[Carmelu2fan]

Oh I keep forgetting you do not drink.

In that case Carmel will have a drink on the plane and bring Kelly a refreshing soda when I see her in the GA line

 

[Lila64]

it may be hard for thora to tell them she is a relative, as they may ask for proof

feel sorry for all the east coasters who will have jetlag... the flight from S.Calif is only 5 ½ hours from here

Noooooooooooooo do you really think they would wait that long? Even after the Stones make an announcement?

 

[Carek1230]

5-1/2 hr flight and we GAIN three hours! Hehehe.....we leave here at 9:30am and get to HNL around noon! I LOVE THAT!

 

[Carmelu2fan]

Yes, we should get one

I will shoot Jules an email, she has the discount code we need.
We need to decide if we will be styling in an SUV or remain practical and get the mini van

I do not mind having on a skank top in a mini van

Are the Stones really going to play Hawaii? I think there is a small chance the band would do this, otherwise why not put the second show on sale this Saturday?

Another tactic is they may want to wait a couple of weeks so that people at least get their next pay check.

If another show is not announced within one week after the Grammy Awards, then I'd say they are definitely only doing one show.
