It happend for the third time this past weekend. 
Yellowman was in Mpls on Sunday and I was excited to go see him so I bought a ticket online and figured I would crash for a few hours before driving out...3hrs later the alarm goes off and I dont feel like making the 45 min drive. 
The other two times was for ACDC and for Heart. Heart concert set me back a bit cause I bought three tickets one for me my neice and her dad. I have to move closer to the cities so when a good concert comes I can take the bus or walk.  |

Edit: Make that a Yes. I forgot about a phish show I bought tickets for in college . . . ended up starting a new job so I "sold" my ticket to my girlfriend's sister. Of course, they never ended up paying me for it. So really, I bought two tickets (gf's and sister's) to that show and still didn't see it. Oh well, she was kind of a b anyway.

She lost her ID before the show, and they wouldn't let her in, so we left. Also, I got tickets to a henry rollins spoken word show. I ended upnot being able to make the drive from arkansas to kc for the show.

i've ended up going alone to probably a dozen shows, but never missing one. on the topic of going alone- all the most enjoyable concerts i've seen, i was alone for. |

Bought tickets for the wife and I to Disturbed, because it's her second favorite band. The day of the show, she wasn't feeling up to par.
Second, bought tickets to my wifes favorite band..... Staind. The show was in Toledo(we're in Cleveland), and we just weren't in the mood to go.
