7 Stages Of Buying Concert Tickets
stubhub.com

Buying concert tickets is a sport. In the span of about 10 minutes you go through every emotion you have ever felt. It takes all your energy to buy a front row ticket to your favorite performer or band. If you are an avid concert goer or true fan, its front row or nothing… and getting front row is NOT easy to get.

1. Clearing your schedule your schedule for ticket release.

You email your professor saying got the virus that’s been going around or you call in sick for work. Nothing will stop you. On this day your only objective is to get the tickets, and you will put in a day’s worth of energy to do it.


2. Counting the seconds until the tickets are finally on sale.

Your cursor is on the button. Your heart is racing. You start sweating in anticipation. And your anxiety levels are through the roof.

3. Putting your click speed to the test trying to get front row seats.


You're screaming both internally and externally at this point. Front row is the first to go so you have to be the first to get them. You are in a mad dash amongst hundreds of other fans to get the best seats.


4. The anxiety you get when Ticketmaster gives you the “Sit tight, we're securing your Verified Tickets..."


It only takes about 5 seconds to verify whether or not you got the seats, but it feels like five hours. It’s the moment of truth. You’ll either be crying tears of sadness or tears of joy.

5. Typing in your credit card information as quickly as possible.


This is when it comes in handy to memorize your card information.

6. The sweet relief of getting the conformation that your tickets have been purchased.


It’s over. You got the tickets. You're probably still in shock, fingers shaking, staring at the screen, mind blank, maybe a small tear at the corner of your eye

7. The pure excitement that sets in after you realize you actually just bought front row seats.

You did it – you got the mother loving tickets and you're going to be front row.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
