Madonna's tour kicks off at NYC's Roseland Ballroom tonight! No tickets were sold and its on a first come first serve basis so people started lining up yesterday! I was told by someone, seeing as I have a job (surprise!) that requires me to be present, that a good way to keep your place is to pay a homeless person. They were serious.
Has anyone actually ever done this? There seems to be so many complications: Why would the bum stay there? Say you pay him after, he may still get bored or give your ticket to a higher bidder. Say you pay before, then there is no incentive to stay. If you go half before and half after, he still has more in his pocket than he did earlier and may not be able to resist the urge to go buy some food.
For those like me who don't have 4 minutes to save the world let alone 48 hours to stand in line, the show will be broadcast live on MSN.com and then re-broadcast on 15 May around the world.
Party in my bomb shelter of an apartment on May 15. It's exclusive so send me an email if you want to come. Costume required.
Personal side note because I feel like confessing: I love Madonna! I have never seen and will likely never see her in concert. I was willing to do anything for a ticket. So I swallowed my pride and called the X, who writes for X and has some pull, and asked/begged. I haven't seen him in forever, so this was a huge deal. Plus, I hate asking him for anything. Sadly though, he couldn't get another ticket so now I am not only prideless but super depressed.
