Posted — UpdatedKatie and Zack Watson made a special trip from Columbus, Georgia, to Birmingham, Alabama, to see the concert. The original plan was for the couple and a mutual friend to attend the show together for a memorable night out. However, the Watsons got some bad news from their friend earlier that week.
Despite the unexpected change, the couple decided to drive to Alabama anyway and brought the extra ticket with them. When it came time to get to the show, the Watsons chose to schedule an Uber instead of dealing with traffic.
Their first Uber driver canceled. That’s when they met the next available Uber driver, Vicky Wallace of Guin, Alabama, who apparently came into the area just to soak in the scene. She got excited when she saw where the couple was going for the evening. Wallace wasted no time getting them downtown and wanted to get them as close to the venue as possible.
That’s when Katie Watson had a wonderful idea: to offer the extra concert ticket to their helpful Uber driver.
At first, Wallace couldn’t believe her ears.
In her flustered state, Wallace almost turned the opportunity down because she didn’t like what she was wearing! In the end, though, good sense and the promise of the night of a lifetime won out during the conversation in her head.
“Listen, this is Garth Brooks,” she told herself, according to WBRC. “I am going. Things like this don’t happen every day.”
In another sign that this was meant to be, a parking space opened up right next to the stadium. So, Wallace pulled the car into the spot and the trio went in to enjoy a rocking night of country music.
But, for Wallace, the experience meant so much more.
