"Today I entered a new chapter of parenting - not one that is covered in any of the “What to expect when you’re expecting” series. The quest to secure tickets to the teenage disco In our area, the desired venue for 13 year old's is the Queens in Ennis. Their website said tickets would go on sale at 4 p.m. We were all primed and ready - card ready, both laptop and phone charged and logged in. We were taking no Taylor Swift type chances.
"We were put into a countdown clock type yoke and then it ticked down to the witching hour (apologies to Bambi).
Five…four…three…two…one…aaaaand then… Sold out. That’s it. One second past 4. Sold out. I’m sure it’s the same in the teenage heaven of your corner of the world but I’m going to have to go through this shamozzle every few weeks ! Bring back the community halla with the nuns and Mawadi."
