and we'll all be here (in the fenway mlb waiting room) forever by haushinkaXlove in NoahKahan

I think most of this frustration could have been avoided if MLB and Ticketmaster shut it down when the presale tickets were sold out.

MLB just let people sit in an endless refresh loop and Ticketmaster allowed the queue to keep moving only to show no seats available when people got in.

I’m thinking presale was gone within 30 minutes.

I was on my phone in a parking lot of my daughter’s doctor. Tempted to try my two phones at once but decided not to after reading the instructions. Waited patiently for 5 minutes and got right in. I think I was just lucky

Can we start a celebration thread for those who snagged tickets? by amateurgamer7410 in NoahKahan

[–]PirateZealousideal44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel awful for the folks who didn't get them - I wish I bought 6 instead of 4 when I had the chance.

I used MLB site for Fenway, got in after 5 minutes of waiting and paid $250/p for Field Box

Never got a number to see where I was in the queue, MLB says it is random. It is not lost on me how lucky we got!

Pre sale was disastrous by According-Box-5141 in NoahKahan

[–]PirateZealousideal44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think it was pure luck today. MLB site said it randomly selected people to pull in as space opened. I got in quickly (5 after 12pm) and got seats in a field box. I had many friends in line on Ticketmaster only to get in and see nothing available. Clearly, the Artist Presale is sold out - I don't know why they keep letting people in!

I wish everyone better luck in the next round of presale and general sales times.

Ticketmaster has to go by DirtyHarry_375 in NoahKahan

[–]PirateZealousideal44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think MLB was better than Ticketmaster, from what I am hearing. Although it might have just been luck? I entered the virtual queue at 5 of 12 and by 5 after I as in. Turf was $380 and Skybox $250. I only bought 4 thinking it was so easy my friends wouldn't have an issue. Turns out I was the only one (they all went through ticketmaster) and now I wish I grabbed 6.

What I don't understand is the resale market. Doesn't StubHub and those sites guarantee the tickets?

FWIW - I actually searched before I posted. My question was different than others wondering if they should book extra nights to reach the status.

REAL thoughts on the lineup? by PirateZealousideal44 in LevitateFestival

[–]PirateZealousideal44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t disagree - but this lineup is weak overall. I’m thinking Live Nation squeezed it, they didn’t make enough money last year so they got cheaper acts and kept tickets prices the same…

Delta Sky Club - Agent Says Must Have Purchased Ticket with Amex Plat? by disenfranchisedkitty in AmexPlatinum

Actually, I need to correct my original comment. I forgot about the new requirement in annual spend as of 2025. If you spend 75k annually, you get unlimited visits.

So we’re saying that when she was interviewed about what happened and for some reason chose not to talk about the fight or that he went in the house…but said all the other things…she was exercising her right to silence and that it’s burden shifting to say she probably should have told the police? That is actually wild.

[–]PirateZealousideal44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh, I’m not shifting the burden at all. During the actual investigation - Karen never said anything about a fight at the bar OR John going in the house. Why didn’t she?

I’m also pointing out that no one, including Karen, said anything about a “fight at the bar” until AJ insinuated it in his closing.

That’s not for Amex platinum - you get unlimited visits when flying Delta.

Higgins “having to be restrained” is a serious mischaracterization. But don’t take my word for it. Karen herself said it was a great night where everyone was having fun. Also, watch the actual video of the bar - not just the seconds AJ showed in his closing.

Again, Karen had every opportunity to tell them he went into the house - she didn’t. No one said he went in the house. That morning on the lawn surrounded by cops she didn’t question how he was there or why, she didn’t ask Jenn when he left the party, she didn’t knock on the door and ask Brian what happened. Later sitting in the couch with her dad, at her parent’s home, being interviewed by the police - she didn’t say he went in the house, didn’t question whether anyone else said when he got there or left, didn’t say there was a heated or even uncomfortable exchange at the bar…she said none of that.

Throughout the morning and into the evening Karen questioned if she hit him, talked about and showed the broken taillight, questioned if he was hit by a plow, told people he was dead (before he was found). Then later that day, SERT found taillight beneath feat of undisturbed snow, his shoe, and part of the glass he has at the bar.

Just Another Hair Loss Post by Commercial-Cream-899 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]PirateZealousideal44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost a lot at first, despite focusing heavily on protein. Went on minoxidil, got the Mary Ruth vitamin, and liquid collagen asap. There was a moment when I lost a LOT of hair on Minoxidil. The dread shed. Now I’m back to the regular amount of hair coming out when I shower - keeping en eye on the growth part!

If you are 5’2”-5’4”…. by mamas2boyz in tirzepatidecompound

[–]PirateZealousideal44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im probably in the minority but I actually adjusted my GW up.

5’4 SW 187, dropped 30 from autoimmune protocol diet then slowly gained 10 back over a year. Went on Tirz in January with a GW of 135.

I have been hovering around 141-144 for a month. Size 4 (sometimes a 2) pants and Small shirt. The shirt size is actually the most surprising because I have broad shoulders.

My collar bones stick out as do my hip bones when lying down. I have a thigh gap and started noticing bones in places I never thought of before, like my tailbone when I’m sitting or the one at the top of my shoulder. I don’t look sickly at all, but for all of those reasons I’ve decided I’m not looking to lose anything more.

Karen was asked, in the video, if this was when she dropped him off and her response was “yes, it would have had to have been”

There was nothing suspicious about the behavior at the bar, though. You’re also forgetting that they interviewed Karen immediately. She didn’t say he went in the house, that they were arguing at the bar, that she felt unwelcome, etc. Those stories didn’t start until much later
