War Child
... I'm in serious need of advice. My situation:
I have two tickets to see Bruce at the Orpheum. Unfortunately, my dad bought them for me and a friend. (I'm sixteen; I don't have a credit card.) We didn't think there'd be any problem in him coming with me and my friend and explaining that he bought them for us. (I have a driver's license; I can prove that my last name's the same as his and that I live at the same address.)
Bad news is, we called the Orpheum and apparently that's still a no-no. They can't change the tickets to my name. The anti-scalping rules seem to be a total gridlock. So you can, I hope, see my problem. Both my friend and I are (were) incredibly excited. My dad's not really a big Bruce fan.
So what I want to know is, how exactly are they doing it? Is there any way to thwart the system? Or should we just try to brazen it out, attempt to make the box-office people see logic? I have no idea what trying to get in is like. (I've never been to a concert like this!) How loose are those wristbands?
Help is greatly appreciated. I really don't want to tell my friend that she can't go...
