I've been looking online to try to secure some Wicked tickets for my next big giveaway (I mean for my dad to give to my sisters), but for some reason the tickets I got for $50 each are now worth $280? Talk about inflation.
Last night I checked Craigslist for Wicked tickets. There were the super lame entries advertising tickets for $75 that actually turned out to be $300 each. There was an entry for "wicked Jonas Brothers" tickets.
And then there was the wickedest, scariest entry of all time: (and [sic] still applies, though I did some editing with ellipses.)
"I have two tickets to Wicked...I planned this to be a special night for my girlfriend, but we broke up...and what can I say.... I just neglected to ask anyone until now.
So, I want a date to Wicked. I would love for the spontinaity of this to create a fun and memorable night. I'm not looking to date you, and I'm not looking for a girlfriend at all. But I do want a hot date to Wicked. And the more randon the better...since I am not in a relationship and not looking for one, I thought, let's have some fun!
So send me an email and tell me why I should take YOU. Your age doesn't matter, but share it, just cause I'll be curious. And by all means, send a picture. They will get first priority. About me - I'm 28, 6'2", athletic build, take good care of myself, brown hair, dark green eyes, college educated and have a great career. If I pick you as my Wicked Date, I'll tell you more about me, of course, and send pics.
So, ready...... GO!
P.S. If you are willing to offer a kiss goodnight... you're chances just might shoot up... ;)
If I thought that seeing Wicked was worth the risk of going on an extremely blind date with this guy, I would send this little response:
Dear Don Juan,
I am a little interested but mostly disturbed by your offer. But I am pretty desperate for a Wicked ticket for my sister. Before we discuss the subject of payment (date rape?), I have a few questions for you.
--Have you watched too many episodes of "The Bachelor"?
--Define college educated, and discuss any spelling classes you may have had (or not).
--Is there any chance that your two tickets are found on opposite sides of the theater, or perhaps for different nights?
--If you choose my sister, can she bring a guard dog with her?
--Are you a convicted sex offender?
--Did you remove your post from Craigslist last night of your own free will, or did the police make you?
Wicked, wicked, wicked. And not in the British English sense.

Wow, that's a doozy. The arrogance of it all astounds me! Love the picture requirement for the girl's only. Who is this guy? On the other hand, what wouldn't a girl do for tickets to Wicked? I'm afraid to find out! Let's hope the story has a happy ending. Who knows maybe he'll find his soulmate. Who needs cable these days when there's Craig's List for entertainment?!
ooo yikes! But I guess there really are people out there who get together with strangers all the time! Creepy to me, but maybe some people just think that's how you meet people?? And, why don't you have them try stand by? My friend Angela got in with her mom for $25 a piece and they got THIRD ROW ORCHESTRA SEATS!!! Hello!!!! So awesome. Way jealous. I too loved Wicked but would also love to see it again much closer...those nose bleed seats do leave something to be wanted...! Lets go, or at least you can call and gush with ME about it :)
Ha! Your poor sister...
I love your response. Send that to the Newspaper. It's a shew-in (sp?).
--Mom
Considering he doesn't even know the difference between "your" and "you're," I'm voting "not likely" on the college education.
Although, if it hadn't been for the kiss goodnight part, I might have been willing to consider it . . .
Or not.
p.s. I think you should send him your reply.
You are so funny. Priceless.
Wow. I just had a scary experience with Craigslist too. Lots of scammers out there, and it looks like other types of wierdos too.
How funny would that be to send Kim with a guard dog!!! Oh wow. What a weirdo.
janel - you are so funny! What a whacko!
Erm - what a whacko the guy that posted the ad is - not you!
I haven't checked your blog in way too long...I love it! You totally crack me up. Also the pic of you and Mark on the bottom is adorable
what a freak! he's probably some 65 yr old high school dropout drug dealer weo doesn't even know who elphaba even is, the sleezer
Wow. Michael and I wanted to see Wicked too, but it's not looking like we'll be seeing it anytime soon :)
How about this response: Dear Craigs List Killer, Now that you are in jail, you will not need either one of your tickets. Please forward your tickets to this address. Hugs and Kisses! -What is wrong with people-loved the commentary!
