I try for the better part of an hour, seems sold out. So I figure what they hell, I will check some places within driving distance, or a puddle jumper flight. Same thing. Line still busy.

While passing the time doing captcha and redialing busy I see tickets went on sale today for her in something like 12+ venues. I finally get through to the system. I try a few times with the number of tickets, and default to operator.

Most of the different places are sold out. Other than the tickets the venue has on hold. I literally tried 6 different cities, including 4 in other states that you could co-inside with vacation schedules, and best that was available was Columbus, Ohio with 4 seats scattered to the wind.

I guess this kid is "it" as far as concerts and shit go. Damn.
the best way to get tickets for things like that are fan clubs (they set aside a # of tickets for fans, usually sold as pre-sale on the artists website), amex pre sales, etc.
