The Deftones are playing two unscheduled shows in the next week. No tour, just these two shows. In the whole country. One of them just so happens to be 20 minutes from my house. The show sold out in ten minutes, and I managed to snag three tickets. Life tends to rule right now.

What was your best ticket score ever?

the craziest ticket ordeal i went through was once when i bought tickets to go see tool in san diego. i stood in line for tickets, but here they pass out random numbers to everyone in line so they each get an 'equal opportunity' to see the show *cough* bullshit *cough* but i ended up getting a decent number and bought my ticket. i took it home, stashed it away in my room and forgot about it until about a month later when the show was scheduled. the day before the show i go to my stash spot and my ticket is mysteriously gone (either it got stolen during a party that i'd thrown or my roommates girlfriend stole it, i'm still not sure). so of course i freak out/get pissed/call around for tickets, but the show is sold out and there's no way i can get tickets.

i figure fuck it, i'll go to the venue and see if i can get a scalped ticket. when we get to the venue i walk around the parking lot and absolutely no one is selling tickets, which of course, is fucking unheard of. as a last resort i figure i'll go up to the ticket window to see if by chance there's a ticket for sale. i go up to the window, but it's only will-call and they basically tell me i'm fucked. as i'm walking back to my friends car i see some dude walking up to people and asking them shit. i run over to him and sure enough he's selling two tickets, they're both floor tickets (better seats than i had) and he only wants to get his money back on them.

i bought both of them, sold one to a friend and enjoyed an awesome show.
