To Whom it May Concern,
I didn’t realize when I purchased Lauryn Hill tickets that the real price of my ticket would be:
1) $80
2) Standing in heels on a concrete floor for hours
3) Being pressed up against the back of a giant man, who felt the need to break out his best dance moves–6 square inches of personal space be damned!
4) HOURS of waiting
5) A little piece of my human dignity
At 10:30, I finally decided that hearing Lauryn Hill sing would not improve my mood or my night. Although I do hope, for the sake of the hundreds of people there, that she came out and sang with the sweetness of the Baby Jesus backed by a choir of angels.
I realize that I cannot expect you to un-elbow my ribs, un-blister my feet, or refund 3.5 hours of my life (preferably weekend hours), but I am asking for my $80 back (and while I’m at it, the $80 I spent on my friend’s ticket), since I would have had a better musical experience sitting at home on my couch with my laptop, watching YouTube videos of Keyboard Cat.
You can rest assured that I will tell all my friends, and the internet, about the worst concert experience I’ve ever had. But my story can end with me saying “…but at least Double Tee Concerts did right by me, and refunded my money…”
Or I can say “…And then Double Tee Concerts told me that my ticket to this hostage experience was non-refundable.”
Sincerely,
RJ
