Mother of the Year goes too...........

Mother of the Year goes to                     

 ME

Today ticket sales for "One Direction" were available from 9am. Who the hell is One Direction?,  i hear you ask. If you have teenage girls you should know. If you have never heard of them, they are a boy band from the UK.

As we have moved into Broadbeach i was up at 430am and i walked in the dark to the Gold Coast Convention Centre to sit at the Ticketek Box Office. I was the first to arrive.
On my way there at 430am

Arriving to find i was the first to arrive

This is what i was greeted with

Sun is up

Our place is the furthest high rise (is that how you even say that sentence?)

Here is a few of the people in the waiting line. Check out the chic giving me the thumbs up..

I sat there thinking "what the hell am i doing? this is crazy"
By 530am another girl arrived then 6am another and then another. By the time 9am came and the Box office opened there was many many more.
They opened only 2 of the 3 windows. So of course i got the lady who was the slowest and the other window had given out two lots of 4 tickets, by the time my lady had got me 2 lots of 2 tickets.
In the end I GOT TICKETS. Not the best seats but seats. It is crazy how the system works as being first in line means not much, as the people who got tickets after me got better placed seating. Ummmm
Anyway all i know is, i have one happy 14 year old and i will be going to bed early tonight.

My job today was a complete success.

  2. Oh no you didn't!!! I couldn't even get on to the Ticketek website! Thankfully, my daughter has neither disowned nor murdered me, but she's only (nearly) eight, so we've still got a way to go!

    Enjoy the concert girls!

  4. That is dedication for you! up with the sparrows, I like how your photos became less blurry as you obviously woke up! haha Apparently all the One Directioners even crashed the Tickatek Website! I can't believe that they wouldn't put on more concerts, they'd sell them all out in another heart beat!

    Have a great day.
