Instead, for many parents, the they endured Tuesday trying to score concert seats left them empty-handed and frustrated B次元官网网址� and their kids disappointed.

B次元官网网址淚 was trying to buy tickets so my best friend and I could take our pre-teens to their first concert and waited literally all day to finally get in to buy tickets and not one ticket was left,B次元官网网址� Micah Woods, who lives near Little Rock, Arkansas, said Wednesday.

Others who did battle on computers eventually scored, some after being kicked out of the online queue numerous times or struggling with error messages.

B次元官网网址淚 was pretty worn out afterwards. Just the stress of it,B次元官网网址� said Natasha Mitchner in Dayton, Ohio. B次元官网网址淏ut itB次元官网网址檚 worth it. She puts on a good show.B次元官网网址�

After nearly six hours in the queue, Mitchner madly scooped up tickets for herself and her two daughters, ages 17 and 20. She sprung for a bonus fourth ticket to be used by her husband or a friend of the kids. It will be the fourth time the Swiftie family has seen her live.

B次元官网网址淢y 20-year-old said even if you donB次元官网网址檛 get them, I still love you,B次元官网网址� Mitchner said, laughing. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 kind of our thing to do together. I would have been upset. I just tried to be calm.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淚t was sad. It was so sad,B次元官网网址� said Vivica Williams in Clarksville, Maryland.

She lost out trying for her 14-year-old daughter and a friend. The girls were in gym class when tickets went on sale so mom was tasked with the job. The Philadelphia show was going to be a birthday present.

B次元官网网址淭hey were so excited. I tried to get on and I tried to get on it. It crashes and it crashes and it crashes and it crashes. And so finally, eventually I get in the queue, and IB次元官网网址檓 like yay! Then, oh, there are 2,000 plus people ahead of you in line,B次元官网网址� Williams said.

She was kicked off the queue four or five times, having logged on about 9:30 a.m., which was 30 minutes ahead of the sale.

B次元官网网址淚 never got past 2,000 plus people in line. So finally around 2:30 I gave up. IB次元官网网址檓 like, forget this, IB次元官网网址檓 an adult person. I canB次元官网网址檛 sit here all day with Taylor Swift on my phone,B次元官网网址� Williams said. B次元官网网址淚 was complaining to my daughter the whole time. Like, this is for the birds.B次元官网网址�

With another chance at tickets Friday, she has already informed the young ones: B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 on you now, girls.B次元官网网址�

And with tickets for the pre-sale up for grabs in the middle of a school day, Williams wasnB次元官网网址檛 the only parent left with the job.

The tickets, for a Nashville show, were supposed to be a Christmas present B次元官网网址� and their daughterB次元官网网址檚 first concert without parents B次元官网网址� but they went ahead and told her now.

B次元官网网址淚f youB次元官网网址檝e ever wondered what the teenage girls screaming with unbelievable excitement for the Beatles sounded like, I can now describe the sound to you in what IB次元官网网址檓 sure is a pretty accurate way,B次元官网网址� Allison wrote on Facebook. B次元官网网址淲e still arenB次元官网网址檛 sure how Jon did this. WeB次元官网网址檙e kind of in shock. But boy is it fun seeing your daughter THAT excited about music.B次元官网网址�
