PAUL MCCARTNEY IS COMING TO STOCKHOLM AND I HAVE A TICKET TO SEE HIS SHOW.

Today I fulfilled one of my life’s greatest dreams.  I bought at ticket to see Paul McCartney in concert in Stockholm on December 10.  It’s been a dream of mine since high school to see the cutest (and most talented) Beatle perform but I never expected it would come true in Stockholm, Sweden.  The ticket cost me $180 for a terribly high, and far from the stage nose bleed seat but for those of you that know me and my best obsession, that is a small price to pay to see the best performer and musical artist alive. 

I found out that Paul McCartney was coming to Stockholm today in my Swedish class.  I gasped and couldn’t breathe for a second.  My classmates and teacher laughed at me, but I begged the Brazilian girl to tell me more about the concert.  She told me she was going to the concert with her boyfriend and that it was on December 10^th.  Tickets went on sale on October 14 so I started to pray that there would be some tickets left.  At this moment, our teacher turned on the radio and it was playing “Help”.  I knew that this was a cosmic sign.  For the rest of class I could think of nothing else but how to get my hands on a Paul McCartney ticket.  And, if I hadn’t switched Swedish classes because of the bad teacher and annoying classmates, I never would have found out about the concert.

My teacher gave me bad directions to a ticnet ticket booth where you can buy tickets for any events happening in Stockholm.  So, I set out to find this ticket booth because I wanted to be holding that ticket AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.   I wandered through Ostermalm, and Norrmalm, and T-Centralan. I ended up, after asking four people where the nearest ticket booth is, in a very big shopping center called NK.  It was like the Stockholm version of Harrod’s and I’m sure I didn’t look like I belonged there in my gray hoodie and 18 dollar Kohl’s boots.  After finally finding the ticket booth located at NK Press, I waited in a long line.  Then the cashier just told me that I have to call ticnet.  Or go to ticnet.com. Dammit. 

So, I trekked home in the cold rain though still not discouraged-and of course, had bad timing, missing every bus and train I needed to get back to the woods I live in.  I was going to buy the ticket online, if there were still any left.  On the first site I checked, no tickets. But on the second, I found one. $180.  A little expensive so I had to call my mom and ask if it was ok.  She said “Go for it.”  I am so happy that I did! I’ve been waiting at least seven long years to see Paul McCartney perform! And I can’t believe it’s happening in Stockholm! 

Living the dream!!!
