Remember how in March it was a big deal for me to take Liz to see Bon Jovi at Mohegan Sun (casino in CT)?

Bon Jovi recently announced that they would be playing two shows in July here in Boston at the TD BankNorth Garden just before they finish their tour.

I can’t even believe I am doing this.

I got six tickets at a pre-sale event this morning.  I am taking the wife and my FOUR (count them: Ben, Gabe, Chloe and Grace) FOUR kids to see Bon Jovi.  I don’t know how I let Liz talk me in to this.  I think I am a giant push-over.

These people owe me for this.

So we got six tickets, but they aren’t very good seats.  When they go on sale for the general release - I want to try again and get better seats.  We’re in the balcony (section 301).  I think it shouldn’t be too hard to sell the current set I have now if something better comes along later.  If you go to this webiste, you can put in section 301 and it should show you what kind of view we’re looking at.

The customer service rep. I talked to initially said there was nothing for six people together, except for behind the stage. 

“But its not like you won’t be able to see from there.” he said reassuringly.

“Yeah, as a matter of fact, its JUST like I won’t be able to see from there!” I responded hotly.

He was ticking me off.  He was trying to get me to buy tickets BEHIND the flipping stage and trying to sell them as if they were just as good as being IN FRONT of the stage.  I referred to it as “the proper side of the stage” as opposed to “the-ass-end of the stage”.

dumbass.

Anwyay, we have tickets and the little woman is resting easier now.  Still, I wonder if I can talk someone else in to going instead of me.
