Miscellaneous: Today, my friend and I drove three hours to attend a U2 concert....

Today, my friend and I drove three hours to attend a U2 concert. We had been psyched about the tickets for weeks because they were awesome seats (my early Christmas present). After a long drive, we get to the venue and I realize in horror that I left tickets at home, on my desk, three hours away. FML

Today, I drove 150 miles to see one of my favorite singers in concert. Before I got out of the car I checked to make sure I had the tickets. Did I have the tickets? Yes. Were they for today's concert? Nope. FML

Today, my friend and I went to see our favorite band in concert. We walked at least a mile from our parking space and stood in line for two hours. My friend was supposed to have the tickets in her purse. She actually had, but she left her purse in the car. FML

Today, I got on a two hour train ride to go to a concert. I had been so caught up in handling the train tickets that halfway to the concert, I realized I had left the concert tickets on my dresser. FML

Today, I drove six hours with a friend to see one of her favorite bands in concert. We were turned away at the door because the online site didn't say we had to be 21 to enter. I drove six hours back with nothing to show for it but an empty gas tank and useless tickets. FML

Today, I was supposed to be going to Edinburgh to see my favourite band live. I was expecting to be picked up at 8 a.m. for the drive there, but I woke up to a text saying my friend bought tickets for the wrong city. The show he paid was for 2 days ago. FML

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

Today, I spent hundreds of pounds buying my best friend concert tickets to see our favourite band, complete with a meet and greet. I drove over very excited to pick her up to take her. She had already left. With her boyfriend. FML

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

Today, after saving up my money for weeks, I went to see my favorite artist in concert with my friends. Two songs in, I passed out, hit my head, and had to have someone drive me home. FML

I don't understand how people do this! You're going to a concert and don't remember to bring the tickets?!?!? Do you go to drive your car and not get the keys too?

you cannot drive a car without keys (short of shorting out the ignition), you can however make it to a concert without tickets, just not in. A more correct analogy would be "do you walk to your car without the keys?" I would say yes, a majority of ppl do this quite a bit. i personally have gone to a concert an hour away and forgot the tickets... sometimes you get excited and forget shit, people aren't perfect. however to anyone with even a teaspoon of intellegence this is not an FML, just an inconvenience, just talk to the box office, 99.9% chance you picked them up with your credit card which can be traced, that is what I did. Hell, i had a friend who got tickets to a show when he never purchased any by making up a story about how his friend was in a car wreck on the way to the show and he had the tickets.
