    I'd scalp the fuckers in a heartbeat.
  • As stated - this is a no brainer. You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't make this happen.

    There are certain things in our lives that we MUST do, and our employers need to be flexible enough to accommodate us in these endeavours. If only employers understood the morale boost, and the extra dedication that would result from such simple concessions, then we would have a lot more lenient bosses out there.

    Of course the problem with this is, people take advantage of everything!

    I missed a few bands that have since broken up (Veruca Salt being my fav band at the time, was one) and I have vowed never to let work get in the way of such critical events.

    Unfortunately, I'm hearing rumour that the boys are touring Down Under in December, and not November (where I booked all my holidays), so I'm gonna have some work ahead of me if I'm gonna make the Aust tour work!!

    JUST DO IT!!!

    Maybe Eddie could write a note for your boss. :)

    You really do HAVE to go. And you will. You'll figure it out. I have faith. :)

    It was an odd ticket. PJ only sells tickets in pairs, so this was a single.

    What made him decide to sell it for "only" $120 dollars?

    The auction ended... but I did see it for $1,700....
    JA: Why do I get the Ticketmaster question?
    EV: It's your band.

    I take that back.... did he end it himself?

    Because I don't see a winning bidder. :P

    He got caught and is embarrassed?

    Obviously he noticed us posting, and probably forgot his ebay username is the same as his Pit username... (busted) ...but if he did end it himself, it's probably easier to scalp tickets anonymously on stubhub or on craigslist.

    That's what it looked like to me too.

    Then he came on to that other thread and made a lame excuse - sorry, but not buying it. :P

    I'm sure he's the nicest person you've ever met... you know just like Snoopy is... but still, he lied about it and is part of the PJ community where we look out for each other and help each other out. He could have updated this thread, no?

    Unfo, some folks don't think that way, is okay with it and rather attack those like me for pointing that out. :roll: Then this "looking out for each other" would be a moot.

    I've said over and over, I am far from perfect but I am not afraid of holding myself responsible when I fuck something up and I would be honest about it. I would expect others to hold me accountable too.

    Like I said, Karma is a bitch. :mrgreen:
