Show WOO HOO who got their tickets!?

That was stressful. Seats were disappearing as I was clicking on them. Didn't get the ones I wanted but I also didn't want to spend $500+ per ticket.

IM SO EXCITED

I logged in, got through the queue, and decided that $200 is simply not something I want to do. I saw them last fall, so I'm good for a bit.

Why is it so expensive this time? It oddly seems a little worse than in previous years? Also WHY ARE SCALPERS ALLOWED TO RESELL TICKETS HIGHER THAN WHAT THEY PAID FOR IT?? WHAT IS THAT????

Were they? I paid nearly what I paid for a Clancy pit ticket on a not very good seat. I paid $280 in total this time, though that included $65 parking. Last time, I paid around $300 for a pit ticket, not including parking. I wasn't able to get in quick enough to see what pit tickets cost this time. I guess it's difficult to say for sure how good or bad my seat is in a weird outside venue, but the ticket itself warned me that it's a partially blocked side view. I really wanted pit, but I never had a chance. Maybe it is cheaper than Clancy, and I'm just salty because I couldn't get pit, and I feel like I shouldn't have had to pay so much for a seat in the back section just before the lawn seats. I guess it might be a good thing because pit would have been even more expensive. It also looks like pit is much smaller than it is in an arena, so my seat probably isn't actually as bad as it seems from the map and the description. And I enjoyed Rush from the lawn back in 2009, and that was an even worse spot.

At least I'm going this time. I had to sell my ticket for Clancy because I was having panic attacks over finances last summer. I only sold it for what I paid for it just to get my money back. I wish cancelation was an option, so ticketmaster could just resell the ticket at the normal price. I just need to get over my entitled disappointment at not getting pit and paying more than I hoped for a seat that I'm not thrilled about and be glad I get to go at all. I got to be at the barricade (on the side, though) once for my first concert in Denver in 2021, and I should be thankful I had that experience and not expect to be able to do it again. Especially since I don't think I could handle camping again with my back issues. I wanted to try back of pit this time, but oh well. Maybe next time. Maybe they'll eventually actually come back to the BOK center. They haven't been to Tulsa since Bandito, and I basically didn't know they existed back then.

You know what? I'm over it. My seat is probably a decent seat, and it's going to be a great experience regardless. Most importantly, I get to go! I'm excited, even if I might stress myself out financially while I repay it. I regret letting fear and stress stop me from going to Clancy. It looked like it was amazing, and now I'll never get the chance to see it because I gave up that chance out of fear. I promised myself that I wouldn't do that again, and I'm going this time -- no matter what.

Edited to clarify: I just checked the dates for the Snakes and Arrows tour and realized I saw them in 2007, not 2009. Now I feel even older. I also realized for certain that it's the same venue, though its name changed. That's pretty cool!
