guess what i did on 27th Nov 2010 Saturday morning?!
i woke up early morning on 7am and go to Sogo together with Melvin and his gf for JAY CHOU CONCERT TICKETS!!!
well... everything is last minute.
i was planning to buy together with my friend's friend as he got credit card and then we all can buy online together.
then i get to know on 25th night that on the 26th citibank clear credit card holder will be able to get 20% discount and buy his ticket at selected speedy shop!
so i went crazy trying to search who have citibank credit card so that i can get the 20% discount!!
don't look down on the 20% discount!
i have calculated. the very first plan is getting PS1 seat which cost RM 330.
with citibank credit card 20% discount, i can upgrade my sit to VIP which only cost RM380 after discount!!!
CAN YOU SEE THE DIFFERENT NOW?!
but 1 credit card only limited to 2 tickets! damn! and i need to buy for my friends and total 6 tickets.
so i gave up my plan for getting VIP when Jeslyn reject my invitation for her to sit with me in the VIP area.
stick to my old plan of getting PS1 together with my 5 other friends.
just forget some little story in between.
i get to borrow Min's brother-Dasmond citibank credit card!
it was quite embarrassed to ask him to borrow but i really don't care about that anymore.
the most important thing is to get Jay's concert ticket!
I KNOW I HAVE LOST MY MIND!
so i contact Melvin the day before the ticket launching to ask him if i can tag along with him to KL Sogo as i totally have no idea where it is!
i google it on google map but i seriously still don't know where it is.
luckily he agree and he say he's going at 7.30am from Cyberjaya.
in my heart actually asking: are you serious Melvin?! do you need to go there that early?!
the ticket only will start selling at around 11am!!!
no choice i still have to follow him.
so we reach there around 8am and i was seriously get a shock!
it was already a long queue outside Sogo!!! wtf!
so Melvin and i went down the parking lot to park our car first.
his gf went down for queuing first.
there were 3 lane set up buy the organizer.
first lane is for PS1, PS2 and PS 3.
second lane is for VIP, VVIP and Rock zone.
third lane is for CITIBANK CREDIT CARD USER!!!
with citibank credit card i actually have freaking good privilege!!!
THERE IS AN EXPRESS LAND FOR CITIBANK CREDIT CARD USER!!!!!!
muahahahahahahaha! i actually get the info the day before. it was on the facebook Jay's fans page.
Melvin and his gf have to stuck in the first lane and i proudly go into the express lane!!!
I WAS ACTUALLY THE FIRST 10 PEOPLE IN THAT EXPRESS LANE.
i am soooo happy!!! without stuck at the first lane!
so waited there and more and more people show up.
get to know a few people around me which also waiting to get Jay Chou tickets!
the girl behind me came with her bf and they are going to get 4 tickets.
and another 15 years old girl came with her dad and her friend.
she was going to get ROCK ZONE!
i was so jealous of her!!! rock zone cost around RM760!!!
and she's going alone.
her dad is so good! i have to buy myself!
her dad was quite worry of her going there herself so he tried to talk to her to take VIP or VVIP.
see!! her dad even offer her other choice with higher ticket price.
but she just want the rock zone.
her dad say he tried to booked the ticket online on the 26th and even send memo to all his company workers to log into the website but failed.
so he has to come to buy ticket at Sogo.
wow! send memo to all workers!! did you see this sentence!
we we having fun talking to each other while waiting the counter to open.
and then it was written on the banner that everyone is limited to 4 tickets!
i was like wtf?! how am i going to get another 2 tickets?!
so i ask people around me and all of them are going to get 4 tickets!
then i ask the 15 years old girl if she can help me buy extra 2 tickets and i will pay her cash.
her dad agreed.
around 10.30am the emcee start to put Jay's song and start to heat up the event.
he asked the very first person in the second line and ask what time did he waited there.
the person answered: 10.30pm the day before!
wtf?! is he crazy or what?!
those people really camp outside Sogo!!
then the emcee says everyone actually can buy 10 tickets but only first 4 are applicable for the 10% discount. and only limited to the first 1500 tickets!
honestly! everyone don't really mind about the discount.
the most important thing is to get the ticket and get a seat in the concert!
11am sharp they started to sell the tickets.
unfortunately, our EXPRESS lane is not express at all!!
the system is down, the laptop has something wrong, the printer is not able to print out the tickets, they counted the wrong amount of money bla bla bla bla bla.......
it was already 1 hour ago and its still not my turn yet and remember i am the first 10 people in the line!
luckily everything went smooth after that.
and by then the emcee announce that PS3 which is the cheapest ticket is SOLD OFF!
within an hour and PS3 is sold off... it was WOW!!!
i heard that that citibank express lane will give 10% but it's not included in the first 1500 tickets.
means that citibank will give their own 10% discount and we actually don't need to fight with those in first and second lane.
they are actually very nice too.
remember what i say before that only the first 4 tickets is applicable for the 10% discount?!
but citibank they see how many person you have.
lets say i bring another friend along with me, and buy 6 tickets.
she give me 10% for the first 4 tickets and another 10% for the next 2 tickets as it included as my friend's. and we pay in once.
so i ask Melvin's gf is she wants me to buy for them.
at first she say she wanted to try her luck as she already there at the Sogo queuing up for the ticket.
then when emcee announced that PS3 had sold off, she asked me to buy for her.
i think she was planning to get PS3 at first and she has no choice to upgrade to PS2.
and so i agreed and she also get the 10% discount and i believe she will be damn happy with it.

| I AM SO speachless!! of course after 4 hours of queuing and finally get my ticket! on my right is Melvin's gf Grace. |
out of my expectation, when she asked me to buy 3 tickets, 1 ticket is actually for another friend which is from my college.
i was so surprise to see her when i hand the ticket to her.
i actually drove her back few month before from college to her hostel.
it was going to rain at that time and i saw her walking out from the college and i guess she's going to walk back to her hostel and it is a very long journey.
so i offer her if she want to sit my car and it was totally opposite way from my own house.
i guess this is just how fate come in between and link us together.
i was seriously scare that they will check the credit card user name and found out if its not me!
my name is Melissa and will they wonder why the name on credit card is Dasmond.
hahahahaha!
i actually think a few reason if they really asked.
i will it's my brother in law... or my uncle... or the best is my bf and he gave me the card for me to swipe! hahaha! crazy!
luckily they didn't check AT ALL.
i guess because the counter was totally a chaos.
they even forget to swipe 1 of the costumer card before they give him the tickets.
luckily the costumer asked: you don't want the money?
once shot i swipe RM2430.
first time every swipe such a BIG AMOUNT!!!
with 6 tickets of PS1 which costs RM300 and 3 tickets PS2 for RM 210 AFTER DISCOUNT!
every person that buy 4 tickets and they will be able to get Jay's concert merchandizes!
oh ya! every purchase of 4 tickets will also have the chance to play a game and have chance to meet up Jay Chou at his after concert party.
ya i gave up because a few take part in the game before me and the time to beat is 24 sec! wtf. and have to wait till 6pm for the finalist. so i totally gave up!
totally satisfied with my tickets together with 10% discount!!!
HAVE YOU GET YOUR TICKETS?!
p/s: credit to Melvin for some of the pics!
watch the crowded! count yourself!
according to my friend he counted around 1 thousand plus people!
newspaper stated around 2000 people!!!
