Chapter 9 - Silly Confusions

"They are the wrong tickets. These aren't valid tonight! They-"

"These can't be the wrong tickets, I bought them online for the 23rd of September and today is that day! I booked for Joe Sugg and Caspar Lee Hit The Road meet and greet tickets plus the show. This can't be a mistake!" Says Claudia in a fluster

"If you would have let me finish. These were for yesterday. Today is the 24th. You missed your show."

"We can't have, this isn't happening!" I scream. "Can we do anything?"

"Let me check at the availability of seats."

She turns her eyes to the computer in front of her. She types in some letters and numbers and moves her finger up and down the computer. Her facial expression does not look good. Then suddenly she pops up and faces us.

"You need three seats?"

"YES" we say in unison

"Row 1, seats 12,13,14. Is that good?"

"Yes! That is perfect thank you so much!" Claudia says, and she grabs the newly printed tickets.

"Holy fuck that was close!" I blurt out.

"I'm super sorry guys!" Claudia pleads.

"It's fine, we are the dumb ones who thought today was the 23rd!" I say, starting to laugh

We all start laughing and enter the building. Once we are inside we search for the merchandise. I finally spot the counter and run for it. When we get closer we see the massive queue of people all lining up to get t-shirts.

"Jumpers are sold out!" Someone yells across the room!

"Nooo! Damn it we need to get in there fast!" I say to the girls.

"Lets go get drinks and food, find our seat and then come back, there might be a shorter queue then." Rose suggests.

"Wait, how about you guys buy the food and drinks and sit while I wait in the queue. Once you have put your stuff down you can come and join me and we can buy the stuff. Is that good?" I suggest.

"Great idea Tara!" Says Claudia and her and rose go to the food counter. I push in line.

...

15 minutes later I am at the front of the queue when Rose and Claudia turn up. They arrive just as it is my turn.

"Can we have 3 t-shirts and 3 posters please?" I ask, but the assistant nods bad expression. They could have sold out.

"We only have the medium size left." He says shaking his head

"How many?" I ask.

"Only 2. Would you like a keyring?"

"Can you check for any more?" I plead

He nods his head unsure. We wait for ages until he pops up again.

"3 medium t-shirts and 3 posters. $150 please."

We all breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank God!" Rose mumbles.

I laugh under my breath

"Thank you!" We say as he hands us the bag.

We suddenly hear screaming. It's starting. We run to our seats and the light go off. I can't believe I'm here!
