Apparently concert venues are having a hard time getting Millennials to fill the seats. Well, hello. Millennial here. I think I can help.

DEAR CONCERT VENUES:

🎟️ Just tell me what the ticket costs. I do not want to select a $79 ticket and discover at checkout that it is actually $146 because of a facility fee, service fee, processing fee, and a fee for having successfully paid the other fees.

📱 Stop making ticket buying a military operation. I should not need three apps, a verified fan code, a presale password from a credit card I don’t own, and 11:00 AM availability on a Tuesday to buy two seats.

💺 Assigned seats. We did our time standing shoulder-to-shoulder at shows in 2008. Some of us have mortgages now. Some of us have sciatica.

🕖 Start earlier. A 7 PM show is not embarrassing. In fact, I would like to formally recognize whoever invented the 7 PM show.

⏰ And tell us the actual times. “Doors at 7” is not useful information if the opener starts at 8:15 and the person I came to see appears at 10:07.

🚗 Parking instructions written for a normal person. Tell me which garage to use, what it costs, and whether I will spend 55 minutes trying to leave it afterward. I am willing to pay $20 for certainty.

🍺 I will buy your $14 beer. I have accepted this. But if I miss three songs waiting for it, you have broken the social contract.

🚽 Enough bathrooms. We are in our 30s and 40s. Half of us have had children. This is now infrastructure.

🔉 It can still be loud. We are Millennials, not the Greatest Generation. But some of us are bringing earplugs now and we are no longer ashamed of it.

DEAR ARTISTS:

⏰ Please go on roughly when you said you would. We have babysitters. The babysitter has an end time. This is now a logistics problem involving several adults.

🎤 Play the songs from 2004–2014. You know which ones. We know which ones. Nobody needs to pretend otherwise.

🎶 Play some new stuff. Absolutely. We support your continued artistic development. But there is a point in the evening when you need to play the song that was on our iPod Nano while we drove to high school.

📵 You can tell us to put our phones away. We secretly want someone to make us do this anyway.

🪑 An intermission would not offend us. We can use the bathroom, answer the babysitter, check whether the dog has destroyed anything, and look at Zillow for eight minutes.

And please understand: Millennials still like concerts.

We have disposable income now. We are nostalgic. We will absolutely spend irresponsible amounts of money to hear a band we first discovered on LimeWire.

But we also have jobs, children, dogs, mortgages, lower-back problems, and a very clear memory of when concert tickets cost $35.

You want Millennials back?

Make it easy to buy the ticket. Tell us when the show actually starts. Give us somewhere to sit. Play the song from 2007.

We’ll be there.

We just need to be home by 11.

In other words “Why can’t a 24 yr old solve all the government’s spending problems?”

You people in DC are a large part of the problem. All you do is complain and whine on 𝕏 while your job is to actually work for us.

I’ve exposed and saved America billions. What have you done?

The other WNBA players complain that she is more popular than them.

Maybe they should try smiling and having fun like her, instead of caterwauling about manufactured racism on Threads.

Just an idea.

@ChrisCuomo You’re wrong. That was easy.

The older I get, the more I realize what “rich” actually means.

It’s not the Lamborghini.

It’s:
• Living 10 min drive from work
• Having quiet, and even friendly neighbours
• Being 5 minutes from the gym
• Having money left over to invest every month and knowing how to manage it
• Peace in your own home
• A slow morning
• Drinking your coffee without rushing
• Sleeping with a clear conscience
• Laughing with people who genuinely get you
• Traveling every year
• Waking up naturally without an alarm
• Eating a home-cooked meal with people you love
• Having time to read a book just because you want to
• Enjoying the little routines you used to take for granted
• Coming home to a pet that’s genuinely excited to see you

The older I get, the less I care about looking rich.

I care about having a life that feels rich.

Ed Sheeran says Americans call something "alcoholism" that Brits simply call "culture."

"Maybe one or two pints at the end of a workday."

"On a Friday you'll have six pints and a bottle of wine."

"It's not alcoholism to drink every day here."

"It's not like I wake up every morning thinking, 'I need a beer tonight.'"

"You get to the end of the day and your mate says, 'Do you want to go for a beer?'"

"It's just the culture."

@rocknrollofall Not true at all. He did a residency of shows in Vegas after this.

@OliLondonTV Don’t tell what the fuck to watch.

American dudes: We want football, baseball, and basketball. Golf is fine, but just make sure Tiger Woods is inolved. Thanks.

ESPN: Okay, here's some WWE and a bald chick talking about Juneteenth.

Estoy leyendo que en Europa van a prohibir planos de cámara que sexualicen.
Estamos a un pasito de que nos las pongan así como en otros países.
¡Qué manera de ir para atrás!

@realalexclark Because sun down around 4pm in winter is depressing as fuck

European Athletics have released new photography guidelines. It's a pity our sport our sport is going from celebrating the athletic physique to hiding it.

@ThroneSpud Cafe Sabor is a Mexican restaurant. 🤦‍♂️ Delete your account.

@WalterMaselli1 Yes I think about it often. I agreed 100%. I have been stunned to watch what has happened. Stunned.
