Try again! It certainly paid off for me today! Back in June, on the way home from the Bon Jovi concert at Milton Keynes, Clare and I were talking about how great it would be to see Robbie Williams on his tour, and I tried to get tickets when I got paid. Sadly they sold out just 6 hours before the money appeared in my bank account!
Torturing myself, I've been checking See Tickets and Ticketmaster for a week or so, to see if any new tickets had been released for sale, and lo and behold, there have been more available. I hopedn and prayed that they would still be available by this morning, when I got paid, and got up at 6:30am to get online and check. Yep, tickets were still on sale for the date I wanted - Monday September 18th, at the Milton Keynes Bowl.
Frantic texts between me and Clare ensued, the conversation going something like this.
Me: I can get Robbie Williams tickets for Milton Keynes on September 18th. I'll buy, you drive and pay petrol costs. Interested?
Clare: Great, but I've used all my holiday and can't get the day off.
Me: Never mind, next time he tours .... have a good day.
Clare: What time would it start?
Me: Gates 2pm, first supporting act 4pm
Clare: I'll have to work until 2pm, I can only get 2 hours off.
Me: Fine, we'll be there just after 4. Shall I book?
Clare: Yeah, go for it
Me (10 hours later!!!) BOOKED THEM!!!!!
I'm not even a massive Robbie fan like Clare, but I saw my musical heroes, Bon Jovi, and it will be great to be able to contribute to Clare having the same experience. I do like Robbie a lot, so it will be fantastic ... 25 days to go!
