Today, Muse cancelled their upcoming show in Oslo. I bought my sold-out tickets on the black market for double the retail price, and have no way of getting my money back. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after taking various trains to get to Marseille to see Bruce Springsteen in concert, whom I've been waiting about 30 years to see, I found out only a few hours before it was supposed to start that the gig had been cancelled due to The Boss having "vocal issues." I'd even spent 50€ on a t-shirt. I actually cried. FML
Today, I arrived at work to find an email from the manager whom I had bought concert tickets from the night before. He said he had actually sold those tickets to someone else. He still expects to be paid. FML
Today, the arts company I work for cancelled our 8 pm sold-out outdoor performance at 7:30 due to rain, and will have to reticket 550 patrons. I'm the only person in the office trained in ticketing. It stopped raining 10 minutes after we cancelled it. FML
Today, to be kind, I gave away my tickets for an electronic music event I could no longer attend to a Facebook stranger. Later, they told me they were refused at the door. Turns out the pdf I'd received from the ticketing system contained some placeholder values and invalid QR data. And this happened on April 1st. FML
Today, I was supposed to be going to Edinburgh to see my favourite band live. I was expecting to be picked up at 8 a.m. for the drive there, but I woke up to a text saying my friend bought tickets for the wrong city. The show he paid was for 2 days ago. FML
Today, I remembered that the concert I bought tickets for over a month in advance was yesterday. FML
Today, someone tried to scam me by selling me a ticket to a Chris Cornell concert. FML
Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML
Today, I was going to a big concert at my university. I paid around a hundred twenty bucks for my ticket. Outside the venue, people were handing out the tickets. For free. FML
Today, I drove six hours with a friend to see one of her favorite bands in concert. We were turned away at the door because the online site didn't say we had to be 21 to enter. I drove six hours back with nothing to show for it but an empty gas tank and useless tickets. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

that's why you don't go to the black market

1- Good thing you said that. For a minute I thought OP was blaming me. Phew, glad that's cleared up.

Unfortunately Matt broke his foot. :( Maybe to be safe you should take the time to order them on the fan pre-sale next time. I'll be seeing then in March!

Why would you want to go see Muse in the first place? I'd rather listen to the dial-up Internet noise for an hour.

You bought them from a scalper - I feel no sympathy for you only disgust that you would purchase tickets from scumbags who resell tickets. I missed going to the Garth brooks concert that sold out in 17 seconds because within one minute of the tickets going on sale the scalpers already had them for sale on stubhub for triple their original asking price.

That's because Muse sucks. Learn to appreciate better music.

Oh wow, I didn't know you were the ultimate judge of what is good music and what isn't. Here I was thinking people were allowed to have different music taste.

I've been comforting my friend all day about the cancellation. Not to rub it in, but I saw them in Manchester and it was incredible. It was worth paying the ticket price just to look at the stage, the music was fantastic. I hope you can get tickets for their other gigs and I hope Matt recovers soon.

As a fellow loyal Muse fan, you have my sympathies. I've seen Muse twice in concert and it was mind-blowing. With luck and persistence you'll get to see them someday and it will all be worth it.

As a fellow Muse fan, I can feel some of your pain
