Getting Stressed About Tickets
So I’m sitting there Tuesday night, scrolling my phone, and bam! Bulls vs. Warriors game next month. My brain screamed: gotta go. Golden State visiting Chicago? No way I’m missing Curry drop buckets in person. Panic hit me fast—these tickets sell quicker than hotcakes.
Where the Heck to Buy?
Hopped on the laptop first thing Wednesday morning. Official team site? Sold out already, obviously. Ticketmaster? Okay fine, let’s look. Found seats, clicked, got all excited… then saw the fees. Man, fees slapped another $75 on two tickets! Felt like getting robbed.
Checked out these spots next:
- SeatGeek: Their map thing is kinda cool. Colors show cheap/expensive zones. But man, nosebleeds were still pricey.
- StubHub: Found better deals here, trust level low though. Heard horror stories about last-minute cancellations.
- Vivid Seats: Ads everywhere! Prices looked okay, reviews said they nickel-and-dime you hard later.
My Wallet Screamed “No”
Almost gave up Thursday. Good lower bowl seats cost more than my car payment. Felt stupid refreshing pages every 30 minutes at work. Boss side-eyed me hard.
The Hail Mary That Worked
Friday morning, tried Ticketmaster again. Magic happened! Two tickets popped up in section 115—decent angle, near the tunnel. Grabbed them so fast my finger cramped. Credit card? Smashed those numbers in, sweating bullets. Got the confirmation email… sweet relief!
Blood Pressure Back to Normal
Total damage? Base price hurt, fees hurt worse. But whatever. Done. Pro tip: Check early, check often, and brace for fee-shock. Don’t wait—just click buy when something halfway decent shows up. See y’all at the United Center!
