PSA: Ticketmaster Settlement
I don't see many others regularly mention concerts around here, but if you have ever purchased anything through Ticketmaster, log into your account, click on "My Account," and look for "My Vouchers." Due to a recent class action settlement, many people are getting vouchers for free general admission tickets to certain concerts at Live Nation-owned venues. Not every concert is eligible, but the list of those that are is surprisingly good! It's heavy on big-name country acts and classic rock. I just redeemed one to see Heart with Joan Jett and Cheap Trick, and another to see Modest Mouse, who H loves. Not something I'd normally pay for but should be fun!
A few of my friends have a voucher or two even though they swear the last time they bought concert tickets was to see the Backstreet Boys or N Sync in high school. We go to a lot of concerts, so I have 17. They expire in 2018.
Re: PSA: Ticketmaster Settlement
So far just concerts you can redeem for, but maybe purchasing something like that would qualify you for vouchers.
Wow. When I saw it, I figured I'd only get one of the $2 discount codes which is basically worthless to me, but I logged in now just to see what was there and it looks like I do actually have a code for 2 free tickets.
Guess I need to see if there's anything I can use them on.

That's a good idea!
Now I have to tell a random, funny story from my younger life. I was just a few years out of college and had a friend who had been a Chemistry major. I'd been a Business Major. He used to occasionally tell business major jokes...where the punch line generally had something to do with business majors not being very smart and/or that this was an easy major. It was all in fun and not at all mean.
We were hanging out one afternoon and he had told one of these jokes. A couple hours later he was talking about that he and a friend had each stolen a Mardi Gras city parking sign after the season was over. I was a bit horrified and told him they probably use them every year, but he clarified they were dated and he suspects they would have just been thrown away. Here's the rest of the conversation:
Me: "In that case, you should have taken all of them and sold them on Ebay."
Friend (looking surprised): "That's a great idea!! Why didn't I think of that?"
Me: "Because you weren't a Business Major."
Aaaahhh...it was the perfect come-uppance.
I wouldn't give up yet. I think there are X available for each individual show. Go through the process for BNL and see if it works! That's a good one.
