White Stripes tix....but not the ones I wanted

I swear I establish new marks for stupid thinking, or lack thereof, sometimes.

This morning White Stripes tickets went on sale for their show at Keyspan Park in September. Seeing as I had missed the Stripes the last couple times they came to town, I was determined to get tickets for this one. So at 8:58, I had the page loaded up on TicketBastard and was refreshing it constantly to get in at the first possible moment.

I searched under best available and it came up with "field" gen admin tix. Of course, because TM is retarded, they didn't have an accurate map of the venue -- the only map was the "boxing" configuration. Because of this, I wasn't thinking straight and interpreted "field" as "lawn" seating. Not terrible, but not great and certainly not close.

So I opened a new window (as not to lose the tickets I had already found) and searched specifically for "stadium" tickets and found a pair. I bought those.

Of course, after I had hit the "buy" button, I suddenly realized my mistake and felt really foolish. Now, it's going to be difficult to get close to the stage.

A question may occur to some of you: "Why not just buy the tickets that came up when you searched under 'best available'?" Let's put it this way....TM has a distinctly different definition of "best available" than that held by any music fan. I don't even know what their definition is. I just know that if you try several times, you can usually find very different results. This time, however, I should have trusted their results.

I am so annoyed. I'm sure I'll get over it though....it's just that momentary "I screwed up again" feeling.

So anyway, I have two White Stripes tix for Sept. 24. Who wants to join me?
