Last week we found out that Paul McCartney was going to show up in Montreal again this summer on July 26! Fantastic news for two people who tried valiantly to obtain tickets!
Unfortunately, when the presale announcement came out, I was at a work BBQ helping out for four hours and missed the announcement. There dashed my chances at some decent seats, or seats at all.
But I tried, and tried and tried and the pop rock Gods smiled upon me and I managed to scoop up a pair of tickets in the 100L bowl of the Bell Center! I couldn’t pass it up.
The funny part of this of this story is that it’s the most I’ve ever spent on a concert…two tickets cost $550. I didn’t even pay that for two tickets to the entire Ottawa Bluesfest!
I thought “Is Vero going to kill me?” My gut said no but my head said yes. Last year we tried so hard for tickets that if someone showed up with a pair of tickets for $500, we probably would have bought them.
In the end, Vero laughed at the insanity which was us paying that much for Macca tickets (or any concert for that matter) but we realized that these types of concerts aren’t going to last forever and sometimes it’s worth it to treat yourself to three hours of Beatles music!
