Best tickets you ever got to a concert?
So I tried refreshing Ticketmaster every 5 seconds with two windows open in case one messed up, and I was rewarded with getting a Middle Front Right Row A seat in front of the stage to see Pearl Jam and Death Cab For Cutie in October. Considering my last few ventures with Ticketmaster, I was floored to see that I got the best seats in the house. I did the same thing for Pearl Jam in Atlanta a while back and ended up getting the farthest thing back, the lawn.

So what would be the best tickets you ever got to see a band? I guess you can include going to a festival and getting really close or whatever.

Yeah other than "floor seat" shows, when my sister went to Kid Rock and I tagged along, we had like 3rd row center, it was really nice. If I felt so inclined I'd probably have been able to reach up and touch Kid Rock's foot.

Closest I've been to a band was Therapy?/Wildhearts at Rock City, we stood to the side of the stage, where it's out of the pits, but close up.

Not including General Admission (Where I end up near the front for every band) I saw Michelle Branch from the 6th row.

-edit- I forgot about the 2nd row tickets I had for APC...they were behind the GA pit though.

General admission for Slayer at the Warfield, I guess. Gen admin sold out faster because it was closer to the front, otherwise I would've had to been in the balcony. It was sick, like 5 inches from Kerry King.

I try to stay away from concerts with seating anyway. It sucks a lot of balls to be sitting while you're watching a show. The only exceptions I have made were for Primus and Marilyn Manson.

Boomer I probably saw you at PJ, I was in the lawn as well.

Up front for APC at Birmingham.
Lawn for Lollapalooza at Atlanta.

The rest were at small venues where I was wherever I wanted to be, one of which I was hit in the head with a bottle and then proceeded to break the guy's nose who threw it.

When I saw "Weird Al" at the Soaring Eagle Casino, I could have nailed him in the face with my cell phone.

If I wanted to injure "Weird Al."

Seriously, though, it was table seating, and my table was the second one out from the stage, dead center. I have a strong suspicion he may have pointed at me during "Your Horoscope For Today," but I'm probably just deluding myself.

Actually, I saw him the night before his parents died. It's sad, 'cause he was so happy that night, then to find out horrible news like that the next day...

Concerts are for posers. True bands don't play live.

I've only got one album, and I just got it. I'll get back to you on that.
