» THE BIRTHDAY SURPRISE - CONCERT TICKETS

By China at 9:51 PM

My girlfriend called me and she really wanted concert tickets for her birthday. She loves music so she really didn't care which tickets I got for her, and so I went online and I found some really great places to get tickets, but mostly I was finding sports tickets. Well, I found a good set of football tickets really cheap, so I bought them, after all who can resist some cheap football tickets. Then I came across some theater tickets, so I decided that would make a great gift for my parents anniversary which was coming up in a few weeks. Still no concert tickets. That night I went out with a buddy of mine for a few beers and I told him that I just couldn't find a place to get cheap concert tickets. I told him I couldn't see getting them from ticket master or somewhere like that. They would cost too much and why bother when I knew if I could just shop around I could get a really good deal. He gave me some ideas of places that he had been able to get some concert tickets for a really good price in the past. I went online and sure enough I was able to find some great tickets for a really good price, like about half of what the tickets sites would have charged and they were really good seats. Not only that but I was able to get tickets for the actual night of her birthday, so I could take her to dinner and the concert and it would be a great evening. I could have told her that I got her tickets, but I decided to surprise her, and each time she brought it up, I asked her how disappointed she would be if I couldn't get the tickets. I was just stringing her along, but it was really a lot of fun. The week of her birthday, I told her I was taking her to dinner and then a movie. When we were waiting on our desert I handed her a little box that had the concert tickets tucked inside it. She thought it was just a regular gift, but when she opened it up and saw the tickets she was really happy. We went that night and had a great time. Still weeks later she is telling her friends about the great birthday surprise. I am really glad that I was able to get such a great price on those tickets and could surprise her with them. It was a lot of fun.
