My early birthday gift from Sir Paul arrived today! Turns out I am an Emerald VIP for his upcoming concert at the United Center. I'll be honest: when I was finally admitted into the Ticketmaster "room" to purchase my ticket, I clicked "best available" and all I focused on was completing the transaction before the timer hit 00:00. I really didn't care what "best available" got me.
As an Emerald VIP, I get a box of swag!
That's a lanyard with a VIP pass, a "cross body belt bag" (aka a fanny pack you wear across the chest) and my favorite – a Paul McCartney wristwatch. The black/white cat on the floor on the left is Roy Hobbs. While I was squealing over the tour merchandise, he was plotting against the black/pink mouse toy on the floor on the right.
Is this worth what I paid for the ticket? Nah. But then, I can't possibly put dollar value on seeing Sir Paul end his world tour in Chicago just days after my birthday – and from the 11th row of section 101! He's 83 years old now, I'll be 68. I don't know how much longer we'll keep meeting like this. I'm going to savor it.
How exciting and you deserve to treat yourself!!!!! Happy Birthday too!
ReplyDeleteOne of my students received tickets to see Sir Paul for his 18th birthday (as per his wish) and this trip to Pittsburgh has turned into his birthday and graduation gift trip. He is so excited. I'm excited for both of you!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I'm so glad you got this.
