Ask and Ye Shall Receive

Posted February 22, 2008 at 4:20 pm by Suz in Doing the right thing

2008 Olympic Swimming TrialsWe knew they would eventually wise up.

So Olympic Trials ticketing started with all-session only passes being offered. The Swim Aids were outraged.

Then months later, mini packages (of the 3 day variety) were announced to the public. The Swim Aids approved.

Now, USA Swimming has announced that single-day tickets are up for sale. The Swim Aids rejoice!

We don’t know if this was their plan all along. We don’t want to give the higher-ups that much credit. We’d like to think that the additional options for tickets came about because it was the right thing to do and not as the last part of a ploy to get more people to initially buy all-session passes.

      I will say I approve, but rejoice? Not until the let you pay with something besides VISA. I would have had my tickets looooong ago had this been the case!!

      Did you even read how I set up this post? I can’t use ‘approve’ twice like that. Do they teach you anything in school?

      Maybe this is why your mom wants you to be a full-time student again…

      Seriously, though. Have you looked into using one of yo mama’s AMEX cards at an ATM? Could you find out her pin #, make a cash withdrawal, and then buy the tickets at any local Ticketmaster outlet? That would warrant rejoicing too!

      You’re kidding, right? That’s got “bad idea” written ALL over it!!

      Nope. ‘Twas quite serious, unless it’s something you planned on doing on a regular basis. Now that would be a bad idea, lol

      One time deal seems like it would work just as well as charging it, provided you exhibit a great deal of self-control. ;)
