As the media is obsessed with Taylor swift, what is your equivalent?
Mine the fa cup semi final 2011 , first time ever at Wembley
 
During, or in anticipation?

For anticipation, probably the 2000 US Open golf tournament, although that turned into a snoozer because Tiger Woods just ran away with it. Maybe a college basketball game in 1998 when North Carolina played at Cal and Cal won in an upset. It was during the 1998-1999 NBA lockout where there was a lot more interest where tickets were kind of hard to come by.

During, I remember a college basketball game that might not have been one for the ages, but it was near sold out, went two overtimes, and was won by a point via a floater in the lane with about 2 seconds left. I also went to the game where Klay Thompson scored a record point total in a quarter. Both of these games I attended on a whim. I decided to go to the college game after work and there were tickets available (actually for anyone to be in the general admission student section). The latter I was actually there to buy Disney on Ice tickets where the box office was open and I could save on Ticketmaster convenience fees. But there were single tickets available (even though technically sold out) although I bought one from someone approaching me with a group ticket where someone couldn't make it. I paid a little bit less and got a better seat.
 
Probably “ Hamilton” after it was postponed twice due to Covid. Also Cirque Du Soleil O which we saw in April when we went to Vegas as it was my “ bucket list” cirque show.

Now I am anticipating seeing Broadway shows on Broadway on our trip to NYC in August.
 
When we went to Madison Square Garden to see Paul McCartney in concert. It was at the top of my bucket list and DD knew this, and also knew I'd never spring for a ticket- so she gave me my ticket for Mother's Day!
 

I have been to A LOT of concerts in my 73 years, but I can remember being very excited to see Barbra Streisand in the 90’s and more recently seeing Andrea Bocelli and Adele!

Of course, I was pretty excited to see The Beatles in 1964.

It’s hard to pick one.
 
Definitely showing my nerd here, but it's a toss up between the premiere of Revenge of the Sith (I had been waiting a billion years to see the fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan), the premiere of The Force Awakens (Episode VII was NEVER supposed to happen), or seeing Mark Hamill for the first time at Celebration 2010.
