Sorry for a Thursday morning rant, but I'm so mad that before I get on the phone with "the man" I need to release some of this anger.
If you'll remember back a few posts ago, I was way excited about giving my Dad Eagles tickets for Christmas - favorite band, never seen them in person - all that jazz. Fast forward to Christmas - He loved them! He was so surprised and I was happy knowing that I had made him that way.
Okay, where does this go badly you ask?
Yesterday was the day of the concert. My parents left early so they could go to dinner first, you know have a nice evening. They get to the arena and the sign on the door says, "The Eagles concert originally scheduled for today, was moved up to yesterday. For refunds please call..."
MOVED UP!
No one knew it was moved up. I believe the sign went on to say that they tried to get a hold of all ticket holders, but I'm still waiting on that phone call. They also had my email address and my home address. It's 2009, there are ways to get a hold of me people!
When my Mom called to tell me, I cried (shock) and then got really mad! My Dad assured me that it was the thought that counted and that he would rather me get a refund and let us do something as a family over my Spring Break. He's great, but really, who moves a concert up without making it like a huge deal!
This isn't my first rodeo. While I've never had a concert postponed on me, the artist has had to that on occasion and he/she always makes the headline on their website, it's advertised on the radio, etc. I checked their website - no mention of the change. No mention! I guess I was supposed to have ESP with them or something.
Anyway, I'm waiting for them to open so I can get my refund and tell them my thoughts on their very private change of plans! Grrr....
