So yesterday my sister told me if i could find tickets to America's Best Dance Crew, she would fly us to California and we'd go together and stay a weekend or so. So me, whos always wanted to go to CA, jumped online to MTV.com and checked it out. I didn't expect what i was about to find out.
Believe it or not, tickets to be on the show are free. Don't get excited, because there are major draw backs. The biggest one is that you don't just "get tickets", you "request them". The information below says that you may or may NOT get the tickets you requested, and if you DO get them, you get an email within the WEEK of the day your supposed to be there. Now how are you supposed to schedule a flight and a hotel with that kind notice? There are other problems too, like the fact that don't let you request more than 3 tickets at once, and the worst part is to come. Get this, as if i wasn't already turned off by the way they work the tickets, below there was a section that you had to fill out called "Casting Call". I figured it was for the people in the crews that actually want to get on the show, but no. They want everyone who is sitting in the audience to look right! Seriously, you had to give them your ethnicity, hair and eye color, your height, your gender, and your weight along with your request. Now, you know that means they're looking through them and seeing who sounds like they fill the criteria to have their faces on camera! The absolute WORST part was the options they gave for what "body type" you were. I swear to god, the options were :
Slender
Average
Athletic
More to Love
Body Builder
Little Extra
That took the cake. As much as i love the show, it totally discouraged me from wanting to go, and i didn't even bother filling out the request. How messed up is that?!?! I won't stop watching the show from home, but i don't think i'll be going to see it live if they want you to look small and pretty. No thanks Mtv, it was worth a try i guess.
