Picture it. Saturday January 23 2010. Two fearless woman drive to the Oracle Arena to procure tickets to that night's show. As we drive up to the parking area we see a signing stating $30 to park! 30 dollars! WTF? So we flip a chewy and park along a side street near the BART walkway overpass. The crowd walking to the show is minimal along the way. We are getting more and more excited the closer we get to the arena.
Box office OPEN! Good sign! We walk up to one of the open windows and inquire about the discounted tickets that we saw online a few days earlier. Why buy online with all the ticketbastard charges ($11 plus the $2.50 for the building fees)? The woman tells us that she does not have discounted tickets but to check the next window over. Our thoughts...why wouldn't both box office windows see the same tickets? oh well. so we walk to the next box office window and ask the same question. This woman tells us that those tickets were for internet sales only. Sigh. "Do you have any $50 tickets left?" She asks "How many?". I reply "there are 2 of us". At that moment the woman from the next window leans over as our box office lady hands us pre-printed tickets that someone had turned in because they could not use them. She even tells us which doors will get us into the show faster! We thank the two women repeatedly and nearly ran to the door. We were nervous that this was a joke but the tickets scanned and we were in.
What LUCK! What KARMA!
The show was fabulous! Eddie is a must see for anyone who enjoys learning and English comedy!
All in all we saved $160!
