  To Ben, or Not To Ben... I may have a pair of tickets for this Saturday's Ben Harper concert coming but I won't know for sure until tomorrow. I checked out the message board on urlLink Ben's website and found someone with a pair that he can't use (his trip to Florida has been cancelled).
The guy's in Virginia, so if he can't do something with them soon, he'll be out the $70 he put into them. Of course, me being without a job and having no friends willing to put out face value for a ticket, I simply can't afford $70.
So... I asked him initially about trading for them and he said that's a possibility (I could send him some CDs or something), maybe a half trade/half cash thing, but I let him know that, because of my situation, I could only do about $40-$50 for them. He really would like to see the tickets used, plus he'd like to get something for them (as opposed to nothing), so it looks like he's going to send them out to me tomorrow and then we'll negotiate further from there. They're really decent seats too (not that there's a bad seat in Ruth Eckerd Hall), Row N, seats 15 & 16.
Now I just have to wait to see if he's going to send them, and then I have to find someone willing to buy my spare. I've already asked Sue, and now I have to check with JP and Rob. If I strike out all around, I might just take my nephew, Jesse, who's never been to a concert. It's funny; when I had a job, I never went anywhere or did anything, and since I quit, I've went to two concerts and may be heading to my third. Go figure.
