Last summer we had our first family vacation in six years and we stayed at the AKL because the pool at the CBR was under renovation. Our 13 year old dd loved it so much she couldn't wait to visit again. She didn't remember our last visit (we stayed at the CBR) since she was only 7 at the time.
Then August came and I surprised her with Jonas Brothers tickets at Madison Square Garden. This was her very first concert, and where else to be, but at the Garden. We went the first night and let me tell you, the seats we had were great. Section 83, if it were a hockey game, these were the seats to have. We had a great time, and even I was amazed at these talented kids.
So anyway, this past February, we returned to the AKL and as usual, had the best time ever. So much so, we're returning in July.
Then the Jonas Brothers announced their tour schedule:
Holy cow, you would have thought the world was coming to and end...."when are we going to Disney?"
"July 11-18"
"Jonas Brothers are going to be in New Jersey when we're away!!!!!"
So I check the website and lo and behold they're going to be on Long Island a couple of days after we're back. Now I hate driving on LI, and driving on LI during the summer, I don't care what time of day it is, I sit in traffic. But, we're talking the Jonas Brothers.
So, last Monday, I'm sitting here at work, on the computer with hi-speed internet access and it literally took me a couple of hours to get through for tickets.

I didn't know the site crashed.

I couldn't figure it out! So after waiting forever and a day, I finally got section 6 on the floor. I would have rather have something a little higher, but hey, it's floor seats. And judging from the seating chart, they seem to be ok seats.
But now I have purchased tickets, I can no longer purchase any more tickets for this tour using the fan club presales. So I purchased a membership for me, just in case they decide to come to the Garden, which I would prefer.
Next time, maybe I'll just do StubHub.
I'll be doing a lot of travelling this July.
