Pregnancy brain must of been getting to me when i booked everything because not only did I arrange for our ride to the airport to arrive at our house when we are suppose to be landing in NYC, I also bought tickets for the lion king for June 13th instead of July 13th!!!!!!! Now I am out $500 bucks!!! Hopefully I can pick up a pair of tickets tomorrow or saturday because DD will be so disappointedTotal mom fail!!!!

You don't suck, you just have a lot on your plate. Thank goodness you caught this beforehand, you know? And I hope the scalpers are kind!

Oh nooooooooo! Can you try to get to a TKTS booth in the morning? I know it's a hike, but the one down by South Street Seaport is substantially less crowded than the one in Times Square...
And other options could be Annie or Mataldia.

You don't suck, but the situation certainly does! I hope you find tickets.

Aww, I'm so sorry! And you do not suck! You are already awesome for a mom/daughter weekend in NYC! That is awesome.
It does stink about the tickets and transportation. Maybe you can call and sympathize with the person on the phone about pregnancy brain..?
good luck and have a great trip!

Did you maybe buy the tickets with an AMEX? This sounds like something a great credit card company can help you with
Hugs! Oh and you don't suck!

Oh, that sucks, but YOU do not!!! I did that with the Radio City Christmas Spectacular this past year. I bought for Sunday when I needed Saturday. It took about three hours on the phone, and we did have to sit a few rows farther back, but we were able to change them. That won't work with tickets from June, but you might try Craig's List as well as scalpers. I've done both for the Opera. It's scary, but my tickets have always been valid. Lots of people sell tickets they won't be able to use on CL. I hope it's okay that I mention this even though this is the BP. I just want to send hugs and assure you that all is not lost!

I just looked and there are tickets available on the 13th. I would call the ticket office and explain what you did. They may be very nice about it.

I had tickets to Cirque du Soleil. DH had a great date night planned, and everything went great. Until we got there and the tickets were for YESTERDAY!! The box office was very sweet about exchanging them and we even got the same seats. It's worth a shot calling the box office first, the worst that can happen is they'll say they can't help you.
