So, we headed to the Toyota Center in Downtown and parked. We walked towards the arena and had a few conversations with some scalpers who quoted tickets at three times their face value. Hmm, no. Then, we went to the box office and inquired about what tickets they had too. But they were still more than we wanted to spend.
So, we kept walking and thinking to ourselves that this might not pan out. To be honest, we didn't see as many scalpers as we thought. From previous experiences, we have been hit up by tons more scalpers. We agreed to just wait until after the concert started at 8pm and then see if they got a little more desperate to sell. But as we walked back towards the Toyota Center, we didn't see any scalpers. They must have sold their tickets or took off. So, as our last ditch effort, we walked back up to the box office and thought we would see what they do with the Will Call tickets that don't get picked up.
But while we were in line waiting, a guy came up to us and asked if we were buying tickets. I said we were trying to. He then told us about how he had bought tickets for he came up from Mexico and had bought tickets for himself and his two friends. He told us that they bailed on him and he had two to sell and he just wanted $100 each for them, which was lower then face value. But we told him honestly that we didn't want to spend more than $80/each and would be willing to accept that. He quickly agreed so we had a deal.
When we got to our seats, we were anything but disappointed. We were just right of being center stage and in the lower level. They were great seats!! Score!
We saw a few songs from the opening act, who were okay. Neither of us knew any of their songs so we just chatted. But finally, after their set and the waiting time, the time was upon us. And she finally arrived!
The show was really good and we were both glad we ended up going. I only knew about half the songs she sang, but she sang all the ones I wanted her too (Just Dance, Bad Romance and Telephone mainly). She and her dancers were just amazing and she did show a lot of artistry in her show. But I have to just say that we both agreed that we still love Madonna and her show better (but we also concurred that we may have a biased opinion having grown up on her music).
We had lots of fun and I am glad things worked out that we got to go. Thanks, Monica, for venturing out with me. And thanks to my dear husband who took care of Andrew so I could go. James even sent me a picture of Andrew. Even though I was having fun, I was missing him on my night out. This is the message that accompanied the first picture below: "Hot. Took my shirt off and playing computer games."
