It began at the end of February. I heard that Iggy was coming to Vancouver so yay I got really excited until I found out it was at the Commodore Ballroom (fuck your age restriction!!!!). That venue is strictly 19+ and me, being a poor 18 year old whose birthday isn't until September, got really sad and took it to twitter (lol bc that totally solves all my problems right) and saw that Iggy tweeted that all the shows would be all ages. So I tweeted at her and oh my god SHE REPLIED!!!
Iggy said don't worry so I didn't worry. I went ahead and bought tickets because yes bitch I was gonna see her live!!! I waited and waited and waited (for like a couple months) and contacted the Commodore two times asking if the concert really was 19+ and both times they said yes it was.
So finally I took it to twitter again and once again THANK U BASED GOD Iggy replied to me!!! AGAIN!!! (excuse the fucked up times on the tweets, I took the screenshots not chronologically and also Iggy deleted her tweets before I got a change to actually screenshot the entire conversations so I put it together like so using my excellent MS Paint skills)
Oh and this happened on April 21, so exactly one month before the concert so I was like yay I don't have to worry again now bc someone will totally contact me!! I mean I still had my doubts about it happening so I tried not to get my hopes up too much but I think it would actually happen like this was a dream come true?? I literally had daydreams of someone letting my friend and I through the back and us meeting Iggy and everything.
Then yesterday the day of the concert finally came and I waited for someone to contact me but nobody did. I tried tweeting at Iggy but she didn't reply so I waited until 2:30pm and at that point I gave up. I started messaging people who wanted to buy tickets on craigslist and no one replied so I eventually put an ad on craigslist myself. At first no one was replying and I started getting nervous because it was like 3:30 and finally someone texted me about the tickets and I ended up selling the tickets to a guy and his girlfriend for $150 (I had bought the pair of tickets originally for about $80). As I was heading to the skytrain to meet up with the girlfriend and sell her the tickets I started getting a lot of texts and emails about the tickets even though I swear I deleted the ad before I left the house but here's one of my faves lol
So in the end I didn't get to go to Iggy which is really sad (but at least I get to Childish Gambino like a week and a half ago but still). At least I made a profit off the tickets??? I mean I felt bad for charging that much for the tickets but u gotta do what u gotta do. I still got love for Iggy but hopefully she comes back soon!!! And the next time she comes back I don't give a fuck which venue she'll be at b/c I'll be legal by then bitches!!!! Ok bye *looks at pics and vids from the concert and lives vicariously thru those instead*
