Voice of the People
I recently used the Boardwalk Hall's "bracelet system" for tickets for Bon Jovi. I went on Tuesday around 11 a.m. for my wristband. Then on Saturday, I went and was lined up according to the number on the wristband. My 9-year-old son and I were No. 5 in line, and we were so excited.

Then someone came with a box of numbers and had the first man in line pick one. Then anyone with a number in front of that number had to go to the end of the line! We were now No. 55, and we were so upset.

Why bother getting the wrist bands? We could have just gone on Saturday and taken our chances for tickets and bought better seats. We wound up on the 305 upper level, when a large block of lower seats had been available.

It's my son's first concert. I hope he'll be able to see Bon Jovi.
