I must have been 16 or 17, because I was old enough to drive, but I certainly didn’t know squat about buying concert tickets. I had been to numerous concerts in the past all over the area, but had never been responsible for the purchasing of the tickets and had no clue to all of the decisions and issues involved in trying to get a good seat within a reasonably priced ticket.
I think it was Alice Cooper that was coming to town and I drove down to the mall where there used to be a Hecht’s Store that sold event tickets in the basement, what a mess that was. And what a bunch miserable human beings all crammed into this hot, smelly, over crowded and unventilated basement (smoking was still permitted in this shopping center) area that reminded me of a race track and this area being where the bookies set up, take the bets and pay off the winners. It wasn’t a pleasant experience but I did get some decent seats and Alice Cooper was a riot!
Now a days you can go right online and purchase all types of event tickets. sports, concert, theatre, dancing, etc….They offer tickets for all kinds of budgets and they Fed Ex every ticket. Radio City Music Hall Tickets, HONDA CENTER TICKETS, FENWAY PARK TICKETS, DODGER STADIUM TICKETS, AIR CANADA CENTRE TICKETS or even Alpine Valley Tickets with seating charts available for most events so you can see where you are going to sit when you make your purchase.
