Canal Street Sell-out
Bad Otr Experience
I go to canal street to buy tickets on Thursday night. Turns out they're
closed. This is very disappointing as I realize I will have to buy tickets
on DOS but the two dollars extra doesn't really bother me - its OtR. So I go
down again at 5:15 (during their posted Happy Hour - and on a Dragons game
day, no less) Well the door is closed and there is a girl (who looks like an
OtR fan BTW) sitting on the front steps talking on a cell phone. I roll down
the window and ask her if they are closed. She says "yes" I then go on to
lament aloud, "They were closed last night, too. How can I get tickets if
they are closed?" She shrugs her shoulders. I say thanks and drive on.
So that night we get there and she is still there in front of the line. A
man in the line in front of us says that he went in and bought a ticket at
6:15. Of course, by now they are no longer open. Well - when the doors open
a little after 8:00 we find out they are sold out. I happened to have a
ticket, but my friends who had come with me did not (it was theirs I had
tried to secure those previous times) So I got in and they didn't. I was
really torn between selling my ticket and going to Celtic Fest with them, or
going on and seeing the show. Well, like I said - its OtR.
So there in the very front center is this girl. She deserves this seat - she
waited patiently for it. But what I want to know is why she told me they
were closed? Would she really sit two feet away from the door in the sun and
not actually try the door? Was she lying to me? Did she just answer without
hearing me because I was interrupting her phone call? I would just like to
know. My faith in humanity is not fed here. Why can I not ask a stranger
(an OtR caliber stranger at that) an honest question and get an honest answer
in return? Should I have just not asked her - or after she said they were
closed, insulted her by asking if she actually tried the door before making
this assumption? I'd really like to know, because due to this misinformation
and my failure to doubt her and see for myself, my friends waited in line to
be turned away at the door. It rather irritated me.
So, you read this list, Front Door Cell- Phone Girl. What's the deal?
