But wait! There’s more…
I don’t go to concerts that require giving a cut to ticketmaster or clear channel. OK, it limits my options a bit, but less and less.
Data mining exceedingly poor.
Hey, c’mon, it could have been worse: Eric Cantor could be asking you to go to that concert with him…
Is this a promo to lure out the subs?
Is there a package that gives you the opportunity to thrash Nickelback with a cricket bat for half an hour?
I’d rather listen to my cat hack up hair balls for an hour. At least it’s original.
Two summers ago, I went to Hersheypark with my wife. Hersheypark Stadium next door to the park was hosting a Nickelback concert the same night.
The two venues share a parking lot, and the concert let out just as the park was closing, which meant extended gridlock for everyone trying to get back to the highway. Worse yet, I stopped to fill my car with gas at a nearby Sheetz, and the store was FILLED with people in Nickelback concert shirts. A huge room full of happy Nickelback fans clutching their Nickelback CDs and Nickelback shirts and other Nickelback paraphrenalia.
I don’t think I’ve come so close to going to my car, fetching my tire jack and clubbing a roomful of people into submission in the name of all that does not suck in my life. Since these fans were the musical equivalent of flat-earthers, they wouldn’t have understood that I was doing it to HELP them.
TBogg, the possibility remains that Casey is pulling a fast one on you. Or is hiding a terrible secret. The cache never lies…
Given that TBogg seems to be a good and decent father, I think it’s more likely that one of the victims of our beloved Demonic Conservative Ridicule machine has decided to strike back with low blows.
The real scam is that of early access to tickets. It’s bull. And the other scam may very well be Nickelback themselves. I think they had one song awhile back that vaguely made my radar, but then again I’m no concert goer. Saw Kiss in Denver during the 70’s, Harry Chapin at the US Air Force Academy fieldhouse in the same era shortly before his untimely death, Jimmy Buffett, and David Crosby here in Jackson a decade ago.
I’d rather sit on my deck and listen to my stereo. It’s less hectic. Am I the only middle age white guy living in the ‘hood blasting Young Jeezy into the sphere?
Enjoy.
Don’t get me started on Nickelback. Thanks to my wife, whom I love dearly anyway, a Nickelback song is the most played song on my iPod. It’s so bad that my son plays it, even though he hates it too, just to taunt me.
Barter for a Personal Photo Opportunity with the Bassets! I think they would pay YOU for THOSE Platinum Rockstar packages.
I want my nickel back.
