Hi Benji,
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the U2 tickets that you gave me for my birthday. The
concert was on last night and it was the most amazing show I have ever seen. This is the first time I
have seen U2 play live and its something I wont easily forget. Let me tell you all about it.
We arrived in plenty of time and got a really good place, right in front of the stage. The
atmosphere was electric and by the time the band came on stage, the crowd was going wild! The
group played lots of their old favourites but also some of their new stuff. It was brilliant. There were
also some great special effects, like fireworks and there were two huge screens on either side of the
stage so that everyone could see Bono strutting around. He was wearing his trademark glasses so
cool!
Its a real pity that you couldnt make it to the concert with us. Never mind, well make sure that
you can come next time!
Thats about all my news for the moment. Once again, thanks a million for the tickets.
See you,
Seamus

e.g. Seamus didnt have to pay Benji for the U2 tickets.
