GUYS! I GOT SOUNDCHECK FOR DALLAS OH MY GOD IM SO HAPPY I COULD CRY!

It's in section 100 though so I couldn't get standing but I DONT CARE CAUSE IM GOING TO SOUNDS LIVE FEELS LIVE SOUNDCHECK OH MY GOD

But can someone explain to me how the whole receiving your tickets works? Cause one part said 3-5 days before the concert I'll get an email with info for pickup but another part said I get my ticket 90 minutes before the concert? But if I'm going to soundcheck I need my ticket way earlier than that so I'm confused. Does anyone know?

ANYWHO IM SO EXCITED! If you are waiting to get tickets I wish you the best of luck!

Calum tapped his foot as he pressed the button to his floor. He was in the elevator in the underground parking lot of his apartment block and he jolted when he heard another loud crashing noise in the distance; he hated thunder and he wanted to be home already, safely locked inside. The doors were about to close when a familiar face waved at him, signalling him to hold the elevator. Calum sighed; that was his way-too-friendly next door neighbour and he did not want to be stuck with him for the whole ride upstairs, for five whole floors. However, deciding not to be rude and forcing a smile on his lips, Calum waved back and stopped the doors.

"Thanks, mate," Luke nodded as he stepped inside as well.

"'lright man," Calum smiled. 'Weirdo,' he thought to himself. He swore one day he caught his neighbour trying to teach not-so-normal things to his dog, on the balcony.

As soon as the doors closed, Calum pulled out his phone; anything was better than being engrossed in a conversation.

"I think there's a storm approaching," Luke said as he looked at Calum.

"Really?" Calum frowned. Although what he wanted to say was, "congrats Genius, if you didn't know it yet, that was on the radio all day."

"Yeah, the weather doesn't look so good outside. I was just coming back from the coffee shop where I work and couldn't wait to get home."

"Oh, I'm coming back from work as well."

"Of course," Luke rubbed the back of his neck, he felt like an idiot. Why was he always nervous around that guy? He must be thinking Luke was a weirdo and always said inappropriate things. Gosh, Calum was obviously coming back from work, why else would he be in the parking lot?

"Yep."

A loud noise was again heard and the lights blinked before going off. The elevator stopped and a red light turned on in the corner.

"What's going on?" Luke asked, looking around in the semi-darkness.

"Looks like the elevator broke down; must be a power cut due to the bad weather."

"Wh-what? Po-power cut?"

"Chill mate. It's probably just for a minute or two; there's always a back-up power plan."

"Ok," Luke whispered as he clutched the handle of his messenger bag tightly.

"Fück," Calum mumbled. He knew he should not have held the elevator for Luke; he should just have left the other in the parking lot.

"It's been a minute, why aren't we moving?" Luke asked in a breathy tone.

"Man, give it a minute, it's not magic, you know."
