My, how things have changed #101

I have always loved going to musicals and concerts.
From the very first concert that my Mum took me to when I was still in primary school in the Philippines - Sarungbanggi which had Sylvia La Torre in it, to the last concert I saw - Pink Martini with Tim, each concert I have been to has brought me much anticipation and excitement, always wanting to get the best possible seats to ensure the best experience.

For the life of me, I cannot remember every single concert/musical I have seen. I know of the following and will admit to.
-Young Talent Time - I begged my parents to take me when I was 12!
-John Farnham
-Bobby Brown
-Pops Fernandez and Martin Nievera
-Prince
-U2
-BB King
-Michael Buble
-Earth Wind and Fire
-Pink Martini - several times
-Les Miserable
-Miss Saigon
-The Phantom of the Opera
-The King and I
-Bombay Dreams
-Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
-The Boy from Oz
-Mamma Mia

I also got very lucky as my former employer Tracy was a subscriber to the Kennedy Centre in Washington DC and would always palm off Symphony Orchestra tickets to me whenever she could not attend a show.

Unfortunately, since having children, my disposable income is no longer as it used to be so concerts and musicals are no longer a priority. Add the fact that tickets to concert these days are  well over the price that I am willing to pay - usually around $150/each which makes it at least a $400 exercise if Tim and I want to go out. No thanks!

Anyhow, today, I purchased concert tickets once again. The anticipation and the want of getting the best possible seats have not changed. At exactly 10.01am, I was on the computer trying to purchase pre-sale tickets currently only available to subscribers. I kept looking at the venue floor plan, hoping that the seats I got were going to be good.

Bingo! It seems as if we did manage to get good seats.

Unfortunately (or rather fortunately) for me,  I won't even get to go to this show. Instead it will be Noah and Tim going together.

Tim is taking Noah to his very first concert - The Wiggles, the farewell tour in December. I am so excited because I know how much Noah loves the Wiggles (and I hope that he still does in December) and if Noah takes after me, it will be the first of many.

My, how things have changed!
