I failed miserably to get tickets to see Kate Bush in concert, after an hour on the phone to various box offices trying, I remembered that I had to go out, so I handed the reins over to my maid of all work Carmen. I didn't hold much hope, so imagine my delight when a short time later Carmen called me to say that she had been successful and has got two tickets for £15.00 including booking fees! My excitement was feverish to say the least, Kate Bush, her first concert in 35 years and I've got tickets! After the excitement had died down, alarm bells starting ringing in my head. £15.00! I bet the stupid bitch has paid £1500 off a tout. When I got home she proudly showed me the confirmation, she printed out. I snatched the paper out of her gnarled claw and eagerly scanned the page. What's this? This isn't Kate Bush. It's a play, a who-dun-it starring Kate O'Mara. My language was choice to say the least and not for the faint hearted "Kate O'fuckingMara" I was so livid, my mood ring my grandmother gave me on her death bed had melted. However, the next day or two later Kate O'Mara died, she must have felt my wrath.

Last year I got a ticket to a supposedly sold out show by going directly to the box office at the venue. Maybe worth a try?
ReplyDeleteDon't you mean, "supposably?"
DeleteThey could only be purchased online or by phone.There was a huge demand for tickets, all 22 dates had sold out in 15 minutes. Tickets are being resold by scalpers for up to £1,500, I'd be stoked in the head to pay that much, I could have a month in Benidorm for that and have a much better time.
DeleteDarling Mitzi,
ReplyDeleteWe have tickets to see Rufus Wainwright!! Budapest rocks........
Shall we see you here one day? All together we could put on a greater show than Kate Bush......maybe?
My maid of all work Carmen adores Rufus Wainwright she often goes around the house armed with her feather duster listening to Rufus singing the songs of Judy Garland on her ipod player, drives me potty when she sings along to it. You're right of course, we could put on a much better show, than that washed up old 1980's singer that sounds like a goat with a pneumatic drill between her legs. I could do my Cadbury crème egg trick to the tune of the birdy song to the adoring masses.
DeleteNo, I take it back, what I said about Kate Bush, I'm still bitter about not getting tickets.
DeleteDarling Mitzi,
DeleteTotally adore the idea of your Cadbury Creme Egg trick......and, after all, it is nearly Easter! Perfect timing!
Hang on to the tickets! They'll be worth more than twice that amount in ten or twenty years.
ReplyDeleteAlready got a refund. Kate O'Mara I wouldn't go to the top of our street to see her.
Deleteand I'm seriously thinking about putting Carmen in a council run care home.
DeleteNo bastard tickets either. I admit I was choosy not wanting to have a limited view...fifty quid to see a dot on the stage...and my feet can't do standing not even for LA Bush. So after nine minutes of watching a buffering dial thingy, it was all over. A friend of mine did offer solace/ 'she'll be so freaked out after all this time, she'll cancel the tour. So, you killed Kate O'Mara. xx
ReplyDeleteI would pay £50 just to be in the same room as her. Lets hope she does cancel it or failing that, I hope she only sings the songs from her last two albums, sat at the piano facing away from the audience the gloating bastards!
DeleteI guess you showed Kate O'Mara.
ReplyDeleteI didn't kill Kate O'Mara, Kate Bush did, if she had booked the 02 arena to perform her concerts instead of a theatre there'd be a fair chance of getting tickets and all would be happy.
DeletePoor Kate O'Mara... she's wuther'd her last.

She looked like a coconut mushroom type girl to me.
