I could have gotten great seats to the lakers/wiz game at staples coming up cuz i got some hookups...and then I found out I have physics lab that night so I can't go... I can't ditch since its lab. Kobe vs MJ...damn...i just feel bummed out...
I was thinking the samething. Talk to your prof or TA and tell her/her about your situation. I know its not an emergency, but be honest. Try to make up the lab later.
Honesty is usually the best policy. I was in charge of a major function last semester. And then I got Lynus Ozzy tickets for his birthday, which happened to be on the same night. I just talked to the staff adviosr and told her what the deal was and how he was leaving for the army and stuff and she was totally cool about it. She was even cooler when the concert got cancelled and I had to go anyway!
