On Saturday, we went to the lot super early and tried for hours to score tickets with no luck. So, it's time for the show to start, and my boyfriend says, "let's go, we're going in". Now I am the skeptic in the relationship and i'm always wondering about his crazy plans. The rest of the night went like this. 

And let this be a lesson on how to sneak into Hampton. There's 3 places to get through before you are inside. First, he walked through the gate where they check to see that you have a real ticket. They scan it with some kind of light sensor to see if it is real or not. He walked through with the Friday ticket, then walked back to the gate, passed the ticket to me, and I walked through with it too. 

Second, they want to search your pockets and backpacks and shit. Again, we both made it through that gate with no problem. Now we're inside the building but not through the final gate where they take your ticket. We stand there for about 5 minutes assessing the situation. 

Luckily, tons of people were flooding in so we were able to hang for a minute without anyone hassling us. We watched for the ticket-taker person paying the least amount of attention to their door. When about 10 people were waiting to get through her door, we decided to go for it. 

At this point, I have a Friday ticket and my boyfriend has a stub from Friday's show. Reminder, it's Saturday night. I'm thinking, there's no way this is going to work. So, I weasel up to the door with him behind me, and I'm kinda behind someone else, they give their ticket to her, and walk in. My boyfriend slips in with them. 

The ticket lady looks up at him for a brief moment once he's already through the door. He holds up his stub as if to say, I just gave you my ticket. Now I'm standing at the door, and she looks at me as if she's already a little confused. I give her the Friday ticket, she looks at it, she rips my ticket, and passes the stub back to me. 

Now I'm in too and my boyfriend is waiting for me with a huge smile on his face. Just as we run out onto the floor, Down With Desiese kicks in, the first song of the show. WOW. What a night it turned out to be!
