Maybe I Should Buy Tickets And Go Anyway?

Back in March, I bought 4 tickets to see Courtney Barnett tonight at Stubb's. Late last week I learned I had to be at the airport at 5:30 a.m. Sunday morning, and for a while, I was still planning to go to the show. But this girl is TIRED. So when I got home from another work trip last night, I decided to sell my tickets (I only had Erica coming with me so far anyway, and I know she will secretly delight in canceled plans). Here is what happened that makes me question just who or what I am supposed to encounter at Stubb's tonight. Spoiler: I won't. I did sell the tickets--whether I will ever see the proceeds is another story.

• Created Seatgeek account
• Attempted to upload original PDF tickets
• Was informed that I could only upload original PDF tickets, not scanned paper copies
• Checked to make sure I was using original PDF tickets, which I was (duh)
• Attempted to upload original PDF tickets x 4
• Decided to log in to ticket seller website to see if I could download higher quality original PDF tickets
• Found that there is no login link from ticket seller's website
• Searched for about 20 minutes to figure out a way to login to ticket seller's website via Stubb's
• Downloaded new original PDF tickets
• Prayed that 50 KB was vastly superior to 47 KB
• Attempted to upload original PDF tickets x2
• Went to bed
• Got up
• Attempted to upload original PDF tickets
• Contacted support and was told to clear browser cache and try again, but if that didn't work, I would need to sell elsewhere
• Cleared browser cache
• Attempted to upload original PDF tickets
• Nope
• Decided to sell on Stubhub
• Attempted to create new account
• Was informed that I already had an account
• Reset password
• Successfully uploaded original PDF tickets!!
• Googled for a solution to their insistence that I enter different seat numbers even though the tickets were general admission
• Entered my credit card number, email address associated with paypal, mailing address, etc.
• Thought to myself: this account must be REALLY old if the last time I used it, I paid with a Mastercard
• Clicked on my Profile and saw that the account was linked to someone in Louisiana with a similar (but not identical) email address
• Got notice at my own email address that I sold two of the tickets, that I would be paid via paypal to my own email address (but not the email address I told them was associated with my paypal account)
• Logged into paypal and added other email address
• Contacted support and convinced Chanise M. in an online chat that I was telling the truth
• Was told, "this is certainly one for the history books!"
• Got notice at my own email address that I sold the other two tickets
• Felt remorse that I am not going and that the universe must really, really want me there
