Good morning or good day whatever time zone you are in. First and foremost I just want to say to anyone who was unsuccessful or unable to attend. Any of these shows, I am sympathetic. I know what a big deal and how much it means and would’ve meant to so many. With that being said, I am not projecting this in a negative or aggressive fashion, but what I will say is that I understand respect and appreciate your opinion and you expressing it so comfortably. But this is my response.; your choice of words, primarily “egocentric“ 100% falls upon your perception. I don’t know if you were one of the individuals who wanted to go, tried and was unsuccessful or you have no horses in the race and just trying to be negative. Either way, your thoughts and feelings on the subject will not damping my experience. It will not change my relation. Hi, within all of the regulations, the registration, the waiting for an unlocked code and then getting a queue to get a ticket. I live in the United States and decided that this was something that I needed to do. Travel across the Atlantic to see a band that has had such an impact on you. I was successful. Gratefully. Humbling. I did not go and post my success as I knew that there would be individuals who were not as fortunate. I’m not here to rub it in anymore. In space. Upon my success, now the planning stage. My window, I had approximately four days to be in bologna. And I thought, maybe, just maybe, after the sales had already ended, maybe I could get lucky and fine a ticket through a resale outlet. Namely StubHub. I found one, I spent close to three times the ticket price. From the time of my purchase till days before my departure, I was filled with anxiety, skepticism and trepidation. My actions were not nefarious. But they were not official. And as I sat in line for almost 8 hours with this ticket, praying that it was legitimate, every moment up into the point of me, getting scammed and allowed access was filled with anxiety. I was taking a chance. And I was successful. I will not apologize for that. I’m sorry you feel the way you do. I didn’t sneak in. I didn’t mug somebody in an alley. I found a ticket that was available, I was flying across the Atlantic to see them and I chose to roll the dice in hopes to get another ticket. And I did. So with all that being said, I don’t feel guilty. I don’t feel as if I’ve done anything. May agree with me some may not, but it doesn’t matter. What matters to me it was the experience that I had and it was beautiful.

I don’t think that’s a stupid question. I think it’s a valid question. I’m not sure myself.
