George Strait at Jack Trice-5/25/24

[VeloClone]

I missed that Floyd show because I was taking calc 2 (math 166) over the summer and had a final the next day. Remember studying outside our apartment over on west street and could hear comfortably numb from there.

My only stadium concert there was McCartney. Somehow I skipped the Stones and then U2 because I had a stupid gf back home. What an idiot I was.

I was working at Happy Joe's when McCartney came around. His caterer showed up at the store one morning and wanted us to provide lunch for the entire crew that day. We immediately turned on the rest of the ovens and called the owner, Hank - "Uh, Hank, I think you better get in here." We then figured out a menu on the fly using no meat or animal products. It was a hell of a day but great for Hank because he was still trying to recover from the financial hit of the first flood less than a month before.

That day may have been the difference in keeping his business above water.

I had just started working at the ISC as well so the days I wasn't at Happy Joe's I spent unloading trucks at the stadium. A full day of loading/unloading one 53' trailer after another in the summer heat really takes it out of you.

I always got the 12 hr night shift. So I basically sat on the fork lift and tried not to wish someone would put me out of my misery.

I eventually worked my way up to the fork. I was on that big Sellick fork for two shows the summer of shows but then in an office for the third. When the first show got there Ugly, from the road crew, kept trying out different fork ops. When they did something he didn't like he would send them away and try out a different one. I got sent away once, but the next time I was there he must have thought I was the best he was going to get so he kept me. He kept me there for the rest of the in and out whenever I was working. When he came back with the BJ/EJ show he saw me and asked where my machine was. He was disappointed when I told him I wouldn't be forking for him anymore since I had other duties.

Yeah, the fork trainers were sketchy. Especially mine .

With some of these stories you share, I feel like you could write a book.

If you gotta ask, you cant afford them

Sukup is $425 and cheapest to get in the door is $192 (those prices include fees). There are some crazy expensive seats for this concert.

Well, when you have 2 for sure headliners, arguably all 3 are headliners.

Finally got through the Ticketmaster mess and purchased tickets. Section V halfway up or so cost $206.81 after taxes and fees. That was for a $165 ticket, which was the cheapest I could see after I finally got in.

Ticketmaster made ~$222 on the purchase of my 8 tickets. So stupid. I had to waste 45 mins of my time with their terrible services. Should have taken 5 mins.

Log in to an American Express credit card account then navigate to entertainment offers and find the George Strait event.

Looks like cheapest is around $165, but they go all the way up to $450.
