Today, I was going to a big concert at my university. I paid around a hundred twenty bucks for my ticket. Outside the venue, people were handing out the tickets. For free. FML

Today, I went to a great concert. Against all odds, I got to meet the band. All I had for them to autograph was a flyer protesting their concert that was given to me on the way in. FML

Today, I was telling my co-workers about how I'd gotten tickets to a concert in a few days. My boss overheard. Later, he told me I now have to work on the night of the concert. However, he was kind enough to offer to buy the tickets off me for half of what I'd paid for them. FML

Today, I went to a concert. One of my favorite bands was performing, and I'd had the ticket for seven months, with a great seat for the show. It was all going perfectly, that is until a guy twice my height sat in front of me. FML

I just work here, lady

Today, I was working a concert ticket booth. A lady gave me her ticket, I punched it, and told her to enjoy the show. She asked for the “hotel.” Apparently, she thought that the concert ticket cost included a hotel stay, since she traveled from out of state. She cussed me out and had to be escorted out. FML

Today, I walked into a concert that I've been waiting months for. Immediately after passing through the doors, I was accused of sneaking in and thrown out. They wouldn't even look at my ticket, or the hand stamp they'd given me. FML

Thanks for the memories

Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML

Worst prank ever

Today, to be kind, I gave away my tickets for an electronic music event I could no longer attend to a Facebook stranger. Later, they told me they were refused at the door. Turns out the pdf I'd received from the ticketing system contained some placeholder values and invalid QR data. And this happened on April 1st. FML

Today, I remembered that the concert I bought tickets for over a month in advance was yesterday. FML

Today, I was going to meet my friend at a concert. I got there before her, so I went in to check out the local bands that were playing before the headliner. When she got there, I went just outside the building to give her a ticket. The security guards wouldn't let me back in. She went in anyway. FML

Today, I was at a concert. It was dark and everyone was singing and waving their lit-up phones in the air. I was having a great time, until someone snatched my £200 phone out of my hand. FML

Time to take all those tickets and demand payment. :] If that doesn't work, male prostitution is a growing business.

that means he knows English, just not grammar. Btw he could've paid that much money in the form of pesos.

You could've known that! But was the concert any good? I really hope so, otherwise it would be FYL².

By the way, he didn't really spend $120. He actually spent 120 PhP. Roughly, that's about $2.40. Still, YDI. Bands in the Philippines suck, especially the amateur bands.

It's going "to" a concert not going "at" a concert. GRAMMAR GIRL STRIKES AGAIN!

Maybe you should become Punctuation Girl, since you're rather weak in that area.

Hey, you got to sit front row center to see Kenny G and got to go backstage and stroke his instrument. The hobos who got the free tickets had to sit much further away, but ended up less bored and annoyed.

The op said "I paid around a hundred-twenty bucks"... I'm pretty sure he or she knows the currency is in pesos. So the op probably just converted it to dollars for the sake of the fml readers...

*facepalm* Didn't your University have flyers and such all over the place SAYING this concert was free? When I went to college and there were concerts, you couldn't turn one corner without seeing it advertised. o_O
