Poll question: Got my tickets to see Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson - problem
in Des Moines Iowa. Nice, one might say - or, inevitably, someone will post a comment about how Bob can't sing or that Willie is Country and Country sucks. Whatever. Anyway - the tickets arrived and today the radio told me that Bob and Willie just added a show in what amounts to my backyard. :grr:

I can only do one show. The tickets amount to over 100$ a pair and to go to Des Moines involves boarding the animals, driving 4 hours each way, finding a place for the kids, etc.

Should I...

1. I can't wait to see that show!
I'm waiting a couple more weeks before I buy tickets to the Memphis show. Maybe I'll find a date to go with me. I've never tried to sell concert tickets on ebay but that sounds good. Isn't that illegal though? :shrug:

3. Have fun!!!
I saw Bob Dylan when he was touring with Paul Simon. We flew to St. Louis from Topeka to catch that show. Dylan was having a blast, it was a cool night and he just rocked. I couldn't tell one song from the other but it was still cool to see him. I actually went to see Paul Simon. I drove 35 miles in an ice storm with friends to see Willie 2 years ago. Never a huge fan I appreciated him so I went and loved the show. He is amazing and I was very happy we took the risk to get there. Have fun, what a show that will be.

4. Go to both!
I saw Dyan a few years ago, and he was great. I've seen Willie a few times as well. They both are worth seeing more than once.

:hippie:

5. Try Stub Hub.com
The buyer can usually get face value if not more for the tickets depending on demand.
