Fondest Memories

I was a single mother who had to work long hours in order to provide for my three children. I made it a point to always take time to spend with them doing things they would never forget. One of the things we liked to do was go to special events such as concerts, sports events, and theatrical shows. It wasn’t always cheap and sometimes the tickets were hard to get but it was always well worth it.

My best advice to those who want to get those hard to get tickets is to employ the use of online ticket brokers. Once you find one that you trust you will find it is much easier and often less expensive to use their services to get those tickets that everybody else claims is sold out. There have been many times that we decided at the last minute to go see a concert but were told we couldn’t get tickets. I would contact my broker and within minutes I would purchase the tickets and have them waiting at the ticket window when we arrived.

Even though my children are all adults now we continue our tradition of going to shows or games together. Last Christmas I got us all NFL tickets for our favorite team who was playing in the play-offs. It was a dream come true for my middle son who played football all his high school years and truly loves the game. We were able to get autographs of many of the players and I know it is a day all my kids will remember for the rest of their lives.

It was difficult raising my kids as a single parent but the times we shared together then and now are memories I will have forever. The concerts, games, and shows we have seen together as a family helped to keep our family close through some pretty difficult times.
