Am i really going to get to see Pearl Jam

This summer I interned for a bank in the greater Philadelphia area called Nova Savings Bank. It was a great opportunity to learn a little bit about the business world and definitely a resume builder, but the greatest perk about working there this summer was the opportunity I had to try to get my hands on some Pearl Jam tickets.
For those of you who don’t know, a Pearl Jam concert sells out as fast if not faster than any other concert in the world; it is almost impossible to get tickets unless you are a part of the Ten Club, which is their fan club. My top three concerts that I wanted to go see before I died were, in no particular order, Pearl Jam, U2, and Radiohead. These three bands are nearly impossible to see, but I will make any effort necessary to fulfill this list since live music is one of my greatest passions.
Someone in the company sent out an email saying that the tickets were open if anyone in the company wanted to go see them. When I read this email I was in shock and desperately wanted to see them, but felt weird about asking the CEO of the company if I could use the tickets. I had only been working there for 1 month and although I worked two desks away from the CEO’s office, he was quite intimidating and I had only spoken to him twice or maybe three times and our conversations were no more than a conversation that you would have with someone sitting next to you at the bus stop. For the rest of the story check back in a couple of days.
