A few weeks ago I was listening to the radio and heard that
Justin Timberlake was on tour and would be in the near vicinity in just a few
short weeks. My heart rate went up
dramatically. JT!!?!!!! AAHH!!! I immediately called Aaron and in my
excitement I said we have to go! I got
home and looked into tickets and my heart sank… $800 for JT tickets?!?! NO WAY JOSE.
And get this, that was the price
for the worst seats, way up high. The
tickets were sold out so the prices were marked-up resells. But I’m someone who is pretty driven that if
I really want something… I’ll be darned if I don’t find a way to get it. And I’m not saying that to come off sounding
‘spoiled,’ I mean it in terms of I’ll find a way to work my magic and get a
deal, I’m willing to invest the time!
Literally not even a week away from the concert I’m checking
back online again… with zero hopes of getting tickets and all of a sudden I
perk up, what’s this?!?! Tickets within
Aaron and my discussed price limit in the lower level?! Looks like great seats… heart beat
increases. Tickets bought! Baby does a flip inside. Whoohoo!
JT here we come!
It was an AMAZING concert!
So many favorites… but my 2 personal favorite songs were “Drink You
Away” and “Mirrors”. The stage actually
lifted off the ground and floated to the back half of the arena where we got an
up and close of JT for probably a good 30 minutes. Let’s face it, JT is this era’s Michael
Jackson. No doubt about that, even the media throws that comparison around. To
see JT in concert is a HUGE deal!
The only thing though… is half way thru the concert, I
started to think, what if I’m hurting the baby inside of me by this loud
music? It was pretty loud. At that point I was trying to enjoy the
concert but was a worrying mom about if I could be hurting my baby’s ear
drums. So I Googled it on my phone and
the consensus is that as long as I wasn’t right next to a speaker (which I
wasn’t) and it was only for a few hours, it shouldn’t be harmful. The
possibility still didn’t rest easy with me though. And it was something I completely didn’t
consider until we were in the midst of the concert. So would I recommend attending a concert at 8
months pregnant? NO. Not even for JT. Would
I recommend the JT concert in general, absolutely!! Worth every over-priced
dollar. I keep hinting to Aaron I want
to go again maybe later this year while his tour is still on. Of course we are making no definite plans
until Baby Hyde arrives and we see how that goes.
Other concerts on our 2014 bucket list… Garth Brooks and One
Republic. Garth hasn’t announced his
tour dates yet. One Republic, we have a
few possibilities that are near us and they are touring with The Script so that
makes that concert even more appealing to us.
Toby Mac is in the middle of his tour but nowhere that’s near us,
darn. Here are some pics from the JT
concert.
