The Foo Fighters are one of my favorite bands, and they are in concert Wednesday night at Target Center. I bought tickets 2 months ago and have been anxiously awaiting the concert. The tickets are in an awesome location too. Plus I've never been to a concert before so this would be my first one. I'd love to go.
My problem - getting a Babysitter. I've been asking my parents a lot lately to watch my kids, and I feel guilty having to ask them again.
Other factors - I did pay a lot for the tickets, so to pay more for parking, stadium beer, and food just wouldn't be financially smart. So I'm thinking about selling my tickets, and maybe making a buck or two.
What would you do if you were in my shoes and your favorite band was in town?

What did you decide?

Back to page topI ended up rocking with the Foo... and it was awesome! Glad I went! Tickets I had were in the 2nd row on the opposite side of the stage, then halfway through the concert they lowered a 2nd stage that was about 20 feet from where we were sitting. They were so close we could see their spit!
Hope you had an umbrella!...
