So ~ Our yearly trip to a Celtic's game. Pre-game meal at The Cheesecake Factory. Delicious as always. Left the restaurant and drove down to the TD Bank Garden. As we were stuck in heavy traffic, it hit me...I left the tickets at home! Not a joke. I'm very organized. This is not something I would do. I bought them off StubHub.com, so we tried calling them. They were going to refund the tickets and then have me buy them back. They wanted me to do this so we could then go somewhere and pick up new tickets. ??? Okay. So we decide to do that. They connect me to someone else. In the 30-45 seconds this takes place, our seats were put back on StubHub.com to be purchased, and they WERE! So, now our $140 seats were gone, but they had $40/$45 seats available that must have been so far up in the rafters we wouldn't see anything. PLUS, we were stuck in traffic still and the game was about to tip-off. Absolute hell! We still had to go somewhere to pick up the new tickets and then get to the Garden. Quick discussion about just saying "Eff it" and getting a refund. We got out of Boston, listened to the game on the radio until we got to Prince Pizza in Saugus and watched the game in their bar. We still had fun. This is one trip we will never forget. To make it almost worse, The Celtics actually WON and we weren't there to see it live! OY!
