We knew Garth Brooks was coming to Des Moines.
We knew that tickets were going on sale Friday morning.
We knew that there would be excitement, but we didn't know that Garth Brooks would send us out on an emotional rollercoaster. As my blood pressure returns back to its normal levels, let's take a look back at the eight stages of trying to buy Garth Brooks tickets.
Stage 1: Trepidation
Should I do this? Can I do this? **Checks bank account** Okay, maybe this CAN happen.
Garth Brooks doesn't frequent Des Moines much, so this might be worth it.
Okay, I'm doing this.
Stage 2: Preparation
Okay, Iet me open up 10 tabs on Google Chrome.
Stage 3: Anxiety
Ugh. The waiting room? Dis tew much.
Stage 4: Anger
WTF? Did the site just crash.
I'm never going to get tickets now.
Stage 5: Shock
PLOT TWIST. He's adding another show.

Garth Brooks has to be sitting in front of his laptop and refreshing the screen like...
Stage 6: Going through the purchasing process all over again.
Hoping for the best.
Stage 7: Back in the waiting room...
What is my life right now?
Stage 8: Joy
Wait. Wait. Wait. I'M IN! I'VE GOT TICKEEEEEEETS.
I can't believe this is happening...
