Randomness

I was in Kroger this evening & noticed there was a ticketmaster. So I asked the lady at the counter whether Lion King tickets had gone on sale (show coming this summer/fall). She proceeded to tell me that all the tickets for Fridays & Saturday were already sold out. Look, I've been around the block on this ticket thing so I knew she had to be mistaken.

Fastforward to ticketmaster's website. Sure enough, tickets hadn't even gone on sale to the public - will start Feb. 14. But there was a carrot ... if you had a promotion code, you could buy them immediately. What the heck is a promotion code? Ask google. Shortly & fast I was armed with the required promotion code.

Swoosh. Sound of my credit card being swiped for . . . drumroll please . . . 6 tickets!!!!! Two for myself and the rest for the lovely, gullible people of Columbus. Figured that between now & August, I would be able to ofload these tickets for at least double what I bought them for. Brilliant. Pay off my credit card & have some popcorn money! Talk about fiscal responsibility - spending money to make money.

Long live scalpers!
