I had to buy a plane ticket which costed 80 $, and since I needed to do two super quick checks before buying it I obviously waited a month. Plane ticket is now 280 $. Cheers

    One time I went basically the whole year planning to go to a big music festival in town with a friend, just to realize literally the fucking night before that I’d never actually bought my ticket (I was checking that I had everything ready to go for the next day). I then had to frantically go to grab one off StubHub for a several hundred-percent markup at like 3AM.

    Then I get a call waking me up at 7 AM, from StubHub, saying that the ticket they sold me turned out to be invalid but that they’d get me another free of charge. Which was great and all but then I was completely unable to get back to sleep and had to go the whole day running on just 4 hours of shuteye.

      My rule of thumb for concerts is always buy the tickets as soon as you get the plan. Usually the orice is never going anywhere but up, so as soon as you decide you want to go to a show or festival you have to just buy tickets and then figure the rest if it out as you can

      This was for a music festival too, at least I immediately bought the ticket for that and for flying there, so that was quite cheaper
