10 stages of emotion that all parents will experience while trying to secure those 1D tickets

It’s that time of year again! 1D are back in town.

*cue the screaming fangirls*

Tickets for the band’s ‘On the Road Again’ tour go on sale in the early hours of tomorrow morning and judging from previous concerts that have sold out in minutes, this will be no different.

So set your alarms, prepare your multiple devices and get ready to experience these 10 stages of emotions.

1 . EXCITEMENT

“And the award for best parents go to … “

2. ANXIETY

“Wait … what if I don’t get them? Worst parent ever!”

Devices at the ready, cup of tea in hand and deep breaths.

3. PARANOIA

Refresh … refresh … “what time is it? OH GOD! Is my internet working? Why isn’t it working?” *Calls friend* “Is your internet working?”

4. ADRENALINE

You’ve made it! GO! GO! GO!

Click like your life depended on it.

5. PANIC

“Why is this taking so long? LOAD TICKETMASTER LOAD!”

6. RAGE

“I’m NEVER buying from Ticketmaster AGAIN! That's it. Over. Done"

And breath …

7. JEALOUSLY

That one Facebook notification that confirms your child’s best friend’s Mother has secured her tickets.

8. RELIEF

SUBMIT ORDER.

9. MORE RAGE

“Password? THAT IS MY PASSWORD!”

“Verification by visa is the bane of my life”

10. BACK TO EXCITEMENT

One new email from Ticketmaster.

*Cut to posting your success on Facebook like it was no bother at all*

“Of course we got tickets. BEST PARENT EVER”

Good luck out there guys and may the odds be ever in your favour.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 9 am from all usual ticketmaster outlets. See www.ticketmaster.com for more details.
