Don't get me wrong, I totally see where you're coming from. You've just got way more stamina and patience than I have when it comes to ticketing! I'm sure it'll all end up working out in your favor in the end (I mean it would. You'll either end up getting all your money back selling the tix at face, or you'll sell on eBay for a profit of some size as long as you don't start the bidding low in hopes of drawing bidders from the start).
$130 isn't bad at all. That was Canadian though, right? So hell, at least it pays for one ticket. If you can do that on another, it's like only having to pay for the flight, etc. Oh, and if push came to shove w/ B_S_T falling through for a place to crash, you could probably spend a night or two at my dorm. I'll have a couch. They limit you to two nights w/o having to go through some whole rigamorole (??) w/ paperwork and stuff. Just know that's an option should the whole b'day at the Waldorf fall through!
But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)
