Ok, so today is a mixed bag.I set my alarm to be up in time to buy tickets to see Madonna.From what I got from Ticket Master, there were two pricing options–$48 and $350. You can guess which ones I wanted. I budget and to see this hag on stage (granted, a hag I loved in the 80's) I wasn't willing to pay $350. I call Ticket Master promptly at 10 am. They're sold out of the cheap tickets and no way am I paying $350 per ticket. For some reason, missing out on this concert makes me want to cry. I come upstairs because…well…it's Madonna. It's like missing one of the other big event concerts I love. I mean…Stones…Lilith Fair…Cyndi Lauper…Cher…how am I missing Madonna?!I decided to check out Ticket Master online because I hoped the customer representative was wrong–because before I cry I like to explore if there is another alternative. Well, what idiot failed to tell me is that there is a middle ground. Again, steeper than I wanted to spend, but I made the impulse buy. So for slightly under $400 total (for a pair of tickets) I shall see Madonna. I blew my budget a little (which sucks for upcoming months a little, because I had banked on keeping nearly $300 of that nearly $400 for other luxuries), and that freaks me out, but at the same time, it's Madonna. Do I like her now? No. Do I respect her music from back in the day? Absolutely. It'll be a show. I still have to pay on furniture next month, though…albeit a little less than I planned to put down. Still…Madonna. Considering what's coming to musical venues thus far–it's the one big event concert I want to hit. Would I have liked to see Nickelback with Bush? Sure. Candlebox? Yeah. Kid Rock? I guess. However, Madonna is getting older. How many tours does she have left? She'll wind up in a casino like Cher. So, I guess it's good to go. And I can't deny the fact that November 8th is now something to look forward to. CONCERT!
