I finally got over myself... took a deep breath and said to myself.. "ok... calm down... you can buy a ticket off someone that sells them for the double!!" i looked on all the internet seller pages...NO TICKETS TO BE FOUND....
Finally after a week i found a ticket...a girl was selling it for about 100 euro( terrible) but i thought maybe i ould negotiate... i grabbed my phone called her..no answer...crap!!! called again...someone picked up and without even letting me ask the question said" IF YOUR CALLING FOR THE TICKET..IM SORRY ITS BEEN SOLD!
I had no plan B... there was nothing else i could do...so i tried to forget about it...and just get on with my life..
and so i did....
p.s ive never been to a concert in my life.... thats why i was so upset
Anyway.. the day arrived......... I got up went to work...... and when i got to my desk i had an email : two coldplay tickets for sale 63 euro each! so i ran to my colleagues desk looked him in the eyes and said one of your tickets is mine! he looked me back and said..... sorry sold!
Its my destiny...im not supposed to go...its the biggest event of the year(in my point of view) and it would be my first concert..and there is just no way....so on the tram back home a woman came over to me...and said " excuse me, i need to go to the stadium.. you know? the concert?? can you tell me where i have to get off?" i felt like kicking somebody's ASS! maybe her's...so i could take her ticket.... but i would never do that... so i just looked at her and said yep....8 stops from here... enjoy!
I called my friends and asked( begged) them to take me to the stadium so i could listen from the outside.... not very exciting..but hey! better than nothing... so at 21:00 they picked me up and took me there....i could hear everything! while we parked the car they played CLOCKS, FIX YOU, Charlie Brown!... i cried.......yes i did.... all the songs i would listen to in the most depressing moment of my life were being played and i was outside(with another unlucky 400 people" or more" ) i could hear people screaming! singing along... it sounded like a great time! so i cried even more....... i stood by the gates next to the police...and the security for at least an hour...watching people trying to jump over the walls...and getting found and kicked out ( so i didnt try myself).
My good friend was with me...holding my hand through the drama (shes not really a fan..so i give her credit for putting up with me)
In a mix of music and off mode i was in the middle of doing a video and i hear my friend in the background saying " what?? omg he said he's going to let us in..." i imediatly turned the video off..and looked up to see a security guy staring at me..eating chewing gum with his mouth open...his body language said : im a total d**** So i looked at my friend and said...erm..... he's not really gonna let us in...out off ALL THE PEOPLE HERE! it's just not going to happen EVER!
I looked around me...there where desperate people everywhere....everyone wanted to get in... and my friend said...." COME ON!!" i pulled back saying NO WAY! im not going to be humiliated in this way....this security guy is playing mean...im sure he's laughing on the inside... but i was pulled to the door of the gate anyway....and as i expected.... the security at the gate stopped us...and said "where are you going??"..i looked down to the ground embaressed... thinking how could i have believed that i would be chosen out of hundreds...?? but then.............
THE UNTHINKABLE....the security guy AND his chewing gum came up to the gate from the inside and said...."let them 2 girls in...i said they could"...I COULDNT BELIEVE MY EARS!!! peple starting screaming" WHY DO THEY GET IN?? IT'S NOT FAIR!! BITCHESSSS!!!!" but i didnt even stop to think..i just RAN!! before he changed his mind..i looked back and saw the gates close after us and people pushing and throwing drinks at us but we where to quick to be hit! we RAN..and RAN
it was pitch black....but at the end of the tunnel....my whole world was lit with lights... 40.000 people all with a lit up bracelet...it was magic! i was glowing in the dark....i was in paradise....i was yellow..i was a scientist.... i was having a rush of blood t the head! and it was INCREDIBLE!!!
I know it wasnt fair...i know.....I DIDNT PAY!
i know... but really? In that moment.... I COULDNT CARE LESS!!
was it luck? destiny?....... that i dont know.....you decide......
