Coldplay Tickets Bought, but Not Without Stress

I'll be in Chicago with my brothers Derek and Ethan on July 23 to see Coldplay. Tickets went on sale at exactly 1:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday, and I was ready and waiting at my laptop.

When the clock struck 1:00 I immediately searched for three tickets in the highest price bracket -- we had agreed to indulge, realizing it may be a once-in-a-lifetime chance -- only to find a message from Ticketmaster explaining my search hadn't yielded any results. My mind was officially blown.

Crazy that tickets to any act can begin to sell out within mere seconds of going on sale. I'm happy to say that I ended up with tickets. They're no VIP seats, but I consider myself blessed to have them at all.

In other news, I'm toying with the idea of moving my blog to Wordpress. Seems like I could do a lot of cool stuff over there, but I don't want to make a rash decision.

What do you think? Pros? Cons?
