It's almost been a month since i last went for band. No, i didnt delibrately skip band! It's just that I have things which i already planned long ago.

So why still bother to go, you may ask, since i've been missing in action for a month? Because i'm a very responsible person and there's a concert coming up which i just found out the date when i received the tickets.

I really hate it when they issue everyone tickets to sell so conveniently. EVERYTIME there's a performance, i receive tickets to sell. Remember bandaid? Although the ticket is only $5, i had a torturous time getting them off. In fact, i didnt manage to sell them off until the very last minute when i placed them at the door counter. And that's because i'm lucky, if not, i'd have to absorb the entire cost of the tickets. What's the meaning of performing when you practise so hard but no one wants to watch and you have to pay for the tickets yourself? Hello, I'm playing FOR a concert, why do i have to resort to absorbing the cost of thee tickets arh? I might as well play in front of the mirror.

THAT'S WHY YOU MUST PUT IN MORE EFFORT AND SELL THE TICKETS!!

It's not as if i didnt put in effort in selling the tickets. I tried so hard to persuade everyone and even created an entire entry to promote the concert, but still? 0 Sales. So i'm really sick of selling tickets but unfortunately again, i end up with 4 tickets which costs $10 EACH and I'm obliged to sell them off. If i dont, i have to absorb $40 from my own pocket and i doubt i will be able to sell them off. so how? I cant afford to absorb the cost, it's 40 dollars hello..

I really dont understand why has this to be the case everytime. Cant they just do more publicity and make people buy the tickets themselves or allow us to get tickets by order? Instead of forcing down 4 tickets into our throats to sell why cant we just try to sell and get tickets only WHEN WE NEED. And the publicity sucks too. Tickets cant go if publicity is so lousy.

Typical Scenario,

Me: Hello jonny, you want to come for CODA?

Jonny: HUH? WHAT CODA? SIMI LAI EH?

Who on earth will know what is CODA you tell me? And so i will have to explain, not that i mind, but...

Me: Coda is our band concert, combined with Raffles Winds, on the 28th, VCH, $10 ....etc

Jonny: Err, no thanks. *shrugs and escapes.

Jonny obviously wont go because CODA is so unheard of, he thinks no one is going and if no one is going, jonny aint going too.

So this cycle continues and i end up wasting my time, effort, breath and absorbing the cost. Thank you.
