Kris’s favorite band, Def Leppard, is coming to Summerfest
again this year. I tried to get tickets
a couple of months ago when they went on sale, and even using the fan club
pre-sale codes, I could only get in the yellow reserved sections at the Marcus
Amphitheatre. Not great, but not bad, at
least for the price. But I have learned
over the years that you have to check back every couple of days and there is a
chance that better tickets might get taken off of hold and released to the
public for sale. That happened a couple
of days ago. I snagged two tickets in
the red section, dead center stage, but about 20 rows back. Much better than the yellow section
seats.
But now I am left with two extra tickets. The last time this happened was the Foo
Fighters a couple of years ago. And of
course, I couldn’t unload them, even at face value. I am not letting that happen again. It shouldn’t be hard to sell two tickets to a
Summerfest Mainstage show for face value, should it? Well I can tell you it is much harder than
you might think. Even a ticket broker
(legalized scalper) wouldn’t give me face value, when he is going to turn
around and sell them for at least $50 over the face value of the ticket. I have a few things in the works, but I
refuse to get stuck with extra tickets again!
