I Bought A Ticket To The Same Concert Twice

And now I turn my hate inward and admit that I bought a ticket to a concert at First Avenue that's tonight, and then I bought another ticket.  I bought them separately, which is obvious, but I don't remember how big a gap of time it was between buying them.  I'm guessing a couple weeks (and I bought both more than a month ago), which might explain how I forgot that I bought a ticket, then panic-bought a second ticket because I really want to go to this show and I was afraid if I waited long enough, it would get sold out.

Well, maybe that panic made me forget what I should have done, which is check on my application if I had a ticket in my account.  I did check my e-mail to see a receipt, but I didn't see one, and maybe all ticket companies should issue receipts.  Have to admit I could have checked harder before buying a ticket.

I was able to sell it.  Wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, so I quickly checked all the other tickets that were being officially sold secondhand.  They were selling at face, so I listed it as such.  Unfortunately, when you sell secondhand, the same damn ticket company gets to skim off a percentage of the money you get back.  With that, I lost about $15 off the second ticket I should not have bought in the first place.  I should make up for that somehow, because the more I think about it, the more I am mad at myself for not checking before I bought that second ticket.  This might affect me enjoying the concert tonight.
