I did it.
I did something today that I didn’t think I could do. I didn’t dare to do.
But the stars were all aligned - it was meant to be. I bought tickets for the musical Hamilton. The show is in New York City. The date is in March 2019.
I’ve written about why I don’t make plans months in advance - I don’t need to go into that. Buying these tickets is a big step for me.
M1 is a song & dance fan. She can appreciate a good theatrical production & she has been wanting to see HAMILTON since she first found out about it. I love musicals. I’ve checked online & I’ve done my reasearch and it is impossible to buy from the original source unless you sign up in advance for pre-sale tickets. Even then, when new blocks of tickets are available you must pre-register for a lottery and only if you get chosen do you have a chance to actually purchase the tickets on a specified time & date.
I submitted my email address into the lottery a couple of months ago. Last week I was notified that a new block of tickets were going to be available for pre-sale today at 10:00am and if I was selected from the lottery I would be sent a special code a couple of hours before the sale time. I was travelling to a hospital appointment this morning when I got my code, and when 10:00 came around I can honestly say I haven’t been so excited about something in a very long time! After some technical glitches we were able to buy our tickets! Yeah!!!
When I was called into my appointment this morning around 10:30 I was still trying to finish my online ticket sale. The nurse had a nice laugh with me over my excitement but I had to quickly calm myself down. My blood pressure is always taken at these appointments and it was 185/105!!!
Today I am happy. It is a good day.
Y.C.
