This all starts off Christmas 2010. For christmas my younger brother got me 2 tickets for the NKOTBSB Concert in June 24, 2011. I was so excited about the concert because I grew up listening to NKOTB in the 80’s and in the late 90’s I started listing to BSB. I am a fan of both groups and was looking forward to the concert in June.

Seven months go by and it was time for the NKOTBSB Concert. The friend I took was more of a BSB fan and I was a fan of both groups. I was really looking forward to the concert because I knew all of the songs from both bands. On the way to the concert we were listening on my iPod that had all BSB and NKOTB songs I had at the time. This is something I do before each concert I go to get in the mood to have a good time at the show. We get to the venue and walk around to find the merchandise stands to see what they were selling. The lines were long so we decided to go find out seats in the upper level. After we got our drinks we found our seats in Section 420 Row 13 Seat 18. We were the last row of the section with no seats behind us so we were able to put our drinks and purses behind us. We saw both opening acts Ashlynn & Jordan Sparks. So after Jordan Sparks I decided to go walk around to see the merchandise stand. On my way back from the merchandise stand I noticed a fan walking away excited and running off to get their friends. I did not think much of the situation but my gut was telling me to take a chance to see what was going on. On the positive note it does not hurt to ask, so I went up the venue employee and asked “Do you have tickets for the floor or lower seats?” she asked “How many are in your party?” I said “Two” she looked at what tickets she had and said “Here you can go to Section 121 Row 5 Seat 11.” After she gave the the tickets I went back to get my friend. “ Can you get our things we have to go.” I did not tell her at first where we were going. Based on the sections numbers I thought it was going to be three sections over from where we originally were. On our way down I did stop by the merchandise stand to get a toe bag & a lanyard.

We got down to the fist floor and start look for the section. As we got the section and we both were in awe to see how close we were going to get. We started walking down the stairs looking for our row. As we are walking down all i can think of was “Thank you brother you are the best.” As we sat down in our seats I got out my camera to take a picture how close we ended up getting. It was not long after we got down to our seats the show was about to start. When the lights went down and the into started I knew this was going to be one of the best concerts I have ever been to. I sang along to all of the songs and did not every sit down. I ended up taking about 162 pictures. I fell in love all over again with NKOTB and BSB.
