My Prelim Experience - Dont Cry For Me, Im Already Dead

[woosha24]

So I get home last night after work, and after a bit of a chat with the missus she drops a bombshell.

Her: Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You know that Dracula ballet I wanted us to see? I went into the city after work to go and see about getting tickets. Turns out its really, really popular, but I managed to get the last two tickets available in the good seats for the last day's showing!

Me: Oh yeah? Sounds good. So I guess we'll go out for dinner or something beforehand, catch the show and then head home. Whats the run-time?

Her: Oh its 2 and a half hours, but we wont be home late because its an afternoon showing!

Me: Afternoon, eh? I guess that's convenient. What day did you say this was on again?

Her: Its on the last day that the ballet is running. *Checks ticket*. It looks like that's the 22nd?

Me:.....Great. What time did you say it was, again?

Her: *Checks ticket again*. Looks like it starts at 2pm. So we'll be home before 6! I know you don't like driving in the dark.

Me:.......thanks honey. That's really great.





So enjoy it, you lucky bastards! The last time I missed an Eagles game was because I was at the theatre as well - that was the Port at AO game where the world witnessed the birth of "up the bloody coasters!". Knowing my luck JK's gonna kick 10, Jack's gonna ninja-flip over the entire Melbourne backline to take a speccy and Oliver is gonna get cited for striking himself.

So book your GF tickets! Its happening!

Edit: And on the day you better give me some F*CKEN SCORE UPDATES!!!

You must be nuts … Stern words required.

 

[StateOE]

Really should have established some rules before you got married mate.

 

[ep2018]

Get your balls outs of your missus purse and get to the damn game.

 

[Spoon_Man]

Obviously just a fan and not obsessed..

 

[woosha24]

Get your balls outs of your missus purse and get to the damn game.

Definitely gonna have to establish a "no tickets to events without consultation during footy season" rule!

Ive already told her GF day is a "sitting on the couch in the underpants" weekend.

 

[PRANKSTER666]

Tell her your out and use the phone a friend option!

Divorce

The only way this story has a happy ending is if you are able to attend the Grand Final. Or if you find tickets to another show. Or if you just don't go. Or if you leave your wife.

 

[Jootube]

We went for a compromise, Dracula on Tuesday night, football on Saturday afternoon.

PS: If you're under 30, you can get $30 tickets on tues/wed/thurs. Makes rescheduling not such a bad idea.

 

[StateOE]

Not to rub salt into the wound but you'll be surrounded by Freo supporters at that ballet show .

Unfortunately a bit greyer than 30. But thanks anyway!

I hear Fyfe4Lyfe is the head Actress

Well then its up to you guys to keep the gameday thread updated with score updates. Then if we win I'll tell Dracula to stick his play up his undead backside, and hope the Freo supporters enjoyed the show because it was better than what their team turned in all year.

You need to turn this to your advantage. Let her know you are sacrificing something majorly important to you and that she has made a big error. Since you are making a huge sacrifice for her benefit, what will she give in return?

 

[DanWCE]

woosha24 is dating Margot Robbie confirmed. In no other scenario is this story plausible.

Is Margot Robbie in the Dracula play? That might make it a bit more interesting.

 

[ioppolo]

I feel your pain, I have Saturday arvo. My boss is cool though, he won't care if I carry a small radio around or stop to check the scores etc.

Dunno, I have to ruminate on it.

Maybe the next time I have to go to the in-laws on a nice sunny day I can pull the "hey remember that time we went to Dracula and I missed the Eagles making the Grand Final?" card, and go fishing instead.

I'm not sure because I don't go to the theatre.

 

[bombard]

I booked a day flight to make sure I’d be home for what I assumed would be a Saturday night prelim.

It takes off at 1:20pm.

 

[woosha24]

Clearly you've got a culture problem...

 

[DanWCE]

I got 99 problems but missing the Prelim ain't one

 

[fomoco04]

Just start an argument, works for me.

 

[Rowan18]

Weak as piss. Clearly the Prelim is the big show in town. Just tell her you're already committed and get her to go with her friend or Mum or something. Or lie and say you've already got your tickets to the prelim and they're $130 (which I assume is more than the show).
