I just wanted to say thanks to Eddie Vedder for the truly gracious gift of our front row tickets at tonight's show. We had seats for the balcony, row S, and his concert promoter was up there swapping tickets - sending us nosebleeders down to the front. A terrific and wonderful surprise. My 69 year old Mom and I wound up sitting in the very front row, right in front of the stage. We have never been that close before, so we were thrilled. Then at the near finish of his show, he came along the front and shook hands with people. He shook my Mom's hand and winked at her. ( I hung back, too shy.) Wonderful. So, thank you so very much, Mr. Vedder. You are the best.

    I've been hearing this a lot... I guess they don't sell the first row and reserve it for swaps? Ed, what an awesome idea! I guess he got tired of seeing the same ol' high 10c number people in the front row all the time :lol:

    Congrats to you and your mom Aragon! I sat next to someone last night from Poland who got swapped from last row balcony to front row for Baltimore 1; it seems good people are getting down there. :D

    Springsteen has been doing this for years.

    They were/ are known as " The Men In Black " who would randomly upgrade people from far away to up close in front .

    balls... :oops:

    Had tix for row X balcony for Balt 2. Let a friend pick them up. Haven't found out if they got upgraded. Not sure I want to!

    Oh well, I went to Balt 1, my first solo show, so I guess I can't complain. :mrgreen:
