I must be getting adulty....
I had, on my monitor, two tickets to the Springsteen show in Albany.... and I let them go (several times over) because I couldn't get seats I felt were "good enough."
Honestly, I love Bruce. Y'all KNOW that. But I've been to enough shows that I can close my eyes and BE there, in my memory. So getting stuck in the upper tier (for over $100/ticket) is actually cause for me to say "do I really NEED to be at this show?"
(and since my usual partners-in-Bruce can't commit to the show, I'd be buying on hope, not fact. Yes, I COULD have gone alone - and as a singleton I could have gotten perfectly acceptable seats - but it's just not as much fun.)
There will be other shows. There will probably be other shows this year, and closer to home (not a 90 minute drive each way). And hopefully those will be shows my partners-in-Bruce will be able to commit to at the time-of-purchase.
Responsible Adulting. It's actually not all that bad. In moderation.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go sulk. And eat a cookie.
