I just had to start yet another thread about myself to say that I ended up getting a ticket for Cream after all!

I can hardly contain myself! For those who just happened to stumble upon this thread, I am just posting an update to a previous thread about how I couldn't get a ticket for this show.

http://www.prince.org/msg/8/131881

Anyway, for anyone who read the first thread about it, I just wanted to let them know that a very kind soul saw my pleading/begging thread I started at a Zeppelin site and decided to contact me about an extra ticket he had. He was planning on selling it for an extremely high price on Ebay (like everyone else seems to be doing) but then decided not to be greedy, and sell it to me instead. Tickets are actually selling for up to $6,000 for the best seats now.

I can't even believe that I am actually going now. I already have a flight to London.





So this was just an update for all those sweet people on here that gave me this -----> when I was this ----->

Now, I only need to find a place to stay there.

I'm very happy for you but I have to point out that you are probably going to be sitting next to the "generous" guy so I'm guessing that maybe he is hoping for other forms of payment Maybe you can stay with him



But I'm sure you will have a great time

thats great minneapolis! now i'm just hoping somewhere down the line i can get a u2 ticket. be sure to post all details of the concert. and pics to please!

Fantastic!!! That is great news. I knew you would make it in. That is a cool way to get the ticket to. Love stories like that!

Have fun and we expect a FULL report!

I will be sitting next to him, that's true. We'll see what happens.

Well look at you.

I was going to say, in my 1st post about your Cream situation, that I thought something would work out for you.

But then I didn't want you to worship me any more than you already do.

Seriously though, i'm happy for you kiddo you deserve it.

Let me know if your benefactor turns out to be less than a gentleman.
I've got a friend over there that can teach him some manners.

Thanks.

I don't know about this statement though: "But then I didn't want you to worship me any more than you already do. "



Yeah, and I'll let you know if he needs a little roughing up.

Yay! That's good news. I'm glad you were able to secure a ticket without having to sell everything you own. My bf is a HUGE Cream, Clapton fan. I'm be sure to tell him to make him jealous.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I can't wait. Yeah, tell him about it. I'm just lucky to be able to go. Well ANYONE who has tickets is because it was pure luck when it came to trying to get them.

There's this Japanese guy on Ebay that wants tickets (one for each night) and he's got a whole list of rock rarities and collectables that he wants to trade for tix. He sounded pretty desperate.

"Oh, wow." That was the reaction - damn mild-mannered Midwestern men.

RipHer2Shreds said:

That's what my dad's reaction was too.

And my mom was like, "Now who was Cream again? I don't know them."

Then I started singing the first few chords of "Sunshine of Your Love" and then she knew, and said "Oh well, I remember al these songs but I never knew who actually DID them." (she only listens to classical music)
