I know there are a million people looking for tickets. I know this will be a another failed attempt to find tickets, but its worth a try.
My sister-in-law is graduating from high school this year and I promised her that my wife and I would get her parents to buy her a Sasquatch ticket for her graduation. I kept reminding my wife to tell her parents to buy the ticket because I knew the concert would sell out. It sold out and they never got the ticket. Now my sister-in-law blames me for some reason and is being unreasonably hard on me. I don't know why I should get her a ticket at this point because she has been very unpleasant with me, but I think she deserves it and I would like to make her happy. She has a boyfriend that wanted to go too. So if anyone has 2 tickets, please, help me out. Send me a message. Thank you.

Exactly. I need to make Veruca happy.

No you don't. And you certainly don't need to make Veruca's boyfriend happy. Fuck 'em.

I know that is easy for you to say since you have no ties to the situation but I really do feel bad. Mainly because she got screwed out of going last year too and she just really wants to go to Sasquatch. I can understand her frustration. She is being unreasonable with me, but I still think she deserves it for graduating. At one point I didn't think she would graduate, she was becoming a pretty rebellious teenager.

I don't even buy my sisters-in-law birthday presents. $300 is too much to spend on anyone that you don't have sex with.

I wasn't going to buy the ticket for her, or else I would have done that. I was trying to get her parents to buy the ticket but they didn't understand the urgency.

Switchy, once it gets closer you will have a lot more luck finding ones that aren't a million dollars.

Ugh. Send 'em out into the world with a sense of entitlement as their guiding light. May selfishness protect their hearts and may bitchiness give them strength.
I can't help with tickets for Veruca Salt. Sorry Switchy.

Switch, maybe your sister-in-law is a good person and worked hard to get where she is, but all you've done is convinced us that she's an ungrateful bitch with an enormous sense of entitlement.

Well geez guys, now nobody will want to hook me up with tickets. Who wants to sell tickets to someone who is getting them for Veruca Salt.

Take it to Craigslist:
"Hi! My wife's little sister is throwing a bitch fit because her parents didn't buy her Sasquatch tickets for her high school graduation and now it's somehow my fault. I'm looking for two 4-Day passes at face value so we can give them to her and some guy she'll probably break up with before the festival so that she'll stop calling me names."

Did you know:
The title of the Veruca Salt album Eight Arms to Hold You was the original name of the Beatles' album Help!. "Eight arms to hold you" is an allusion to the plot of the Beatles film, also titled Help!. The title was changed when none of the four Beatles was willing to attempt to write a hit song which incorporated the phrase 'Eight arms to hold you'.

Man, you guys are rough on a dude. All it comes down to is that I love my sister and I can understand her frustration. If someone told me that I was going to Sasquatch and then all of a sudden I wasn't....well that would be rough. My wife and I have been together for 10 years so this sister-in-law is not just a person I know by default, she has been a huge part of my life. I want her to experience Sasquatch because, well because it is fucking awesome.

And I sure loved Nina Gordon... |

Does her boyfriend even like music, or does he just want to go because she would be going? If she is graduating from high school, that means her boyfriend would be approximately 18, likely has no respect for the festival, has only heard of the Foo Fighters, could care less if he goes, and could care less if a friend of a friend was nice enough to sell him a reasonably priced ticket. I'd rather sell an extra to a fan rather than a tag-along. Let him find his own ticket if he really wants to go. You'll have a tough enough time finding one extra.

Yeah, Switch, what the fuck?!? How dare you try and do something nice for a loved one and someone else that loved one cares about! Obviously they are young and stupid and don't deserve it. Why you gotta be like that?

Her boyfriend is actually a really awesome guy. I used to hang out with his older brother in High School. He definitely loves music, but probably not too much of the stuff at Sasquatch. He mainly likes classic rock, blues, and a little bit of heavy metal. It's all good though, if I find a ticket great, if not then I don't really care because I will be there and in the end that is all that really matters to me!  |
