How do you even get these TicketFast tix? Is it an option on ticketmaster to avoid the (in)convenience fees? I've never really noticed the option...though it's not like I really looked. As much as I bitch about paying the extra fees, it's almost worth the extra $8-10 just to have a real ticket stub of the event. I'm a bit of a packrat that way! I keep all of my ticket stubs from concerts/plays (all my Playbills, even when it's a repeat visit...I have a serious problem w/ that! I can't help it! It's genetic! My mom's a HUGE packrat, as was her father. I didn't stand a chance!) I was also wondering before you mentioned that he had a ticket for himself, if he was going to the concert as well. I was thinking maybe he was just selling an extra that a friend or whoever couldn't use, so you'd know that it was legit, since he'd be there too...guess that's no the case though. Unfortunately, I guess there's nothing else you can do but wait and see.
Oh, and I'm not sure when they're performing, but Bono's also performing in a special number to benefit the tsunami relief effort. Here's the blurb from U2log.com:
"This year’s 47th Grammy Awards will be marked by a unique rendition of the Beatles’ Across the Universe, with all proceed going to the tsunami relief. Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich contacted Yoko Ono and managed to get the right to the song, which will be performed by such stars as Tim McGraw, Alicia Keys, Brian Wilson, Al Green, Stevie Wonder and of course our very own Bono, and all that backed by Velvet Revolver. After the performance, the song will be made available on iTunes, with the entire $.99 cost going to the tsunami relief charities.
In addition to this, donations will be taken via CBS.com which will offer an exclusive video stream of the performances, as well as some bonus footage.
The Grammy Awards will be broadcasted live on CBS, sunday February 13, 8pm Eastern Time.
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)
