My 16 year old brother and I are both huge pearl jam fans, and we made the long drive down for the friday and saturday night shows. I was able to get 10c tix for saturday, but had to use comcast tix for friday and was stuck with section 421. we both took the attitude that we were happy to be in the building, and the sound was still fine as we rocked out during bad religions set. anyway, at about 8 57 as pearl jam is about to start, a guy comes up to us and asks "are you guys big pearl jam fans?" taken aback we were just like ya huge fans. (considering we had driven 7 hours to get there and were wearing our homemade pearl jam closing out the spectrum tshirts, and had paid 80 bucks each to sit on a glorified cat walk haah) and he hands us two tickets and says here ya go, enjoy, they're good seats. we were both speechless, and the guy walks away, we didnt see him again the rest of the night. the tix were for SECTION 225!!! We couldnt believe our luck. We sprinted down to our seats and got there instantaneouly as the spectrum highlights video started. Needless to say, we had the time of our lives in no small part to how great our seats were. (my brother got acknowledged by the master, and I will swear that ed was looking right at me holding up 1 finger after sonic reducer when he said "more?" as they launched into an incredible baba. your welcome lol)

But as I said we never saw this guy again. I dont think he was a 10c rep, he could have just been my guardian angel idk. But I hope he sees this post and knows that he helped me and my brother have THE greatest weekend of our lives (we topped the concerts off with tickets to the eagles massacring the little giants on Sunday) THANK YOU, I hope that one day I have the chance to make someone as happy as you made us that night. A true act of kindness asking nothing in return, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

    I'm sure this guy will be paid back with some great karma down the road. I did this once before with an extra single I couldn't unload. No use in wasting a good seat in my opinion!

    He might have also not been in to PJ all that much and dcided to ditch his tickets for something else... Thats what it sounds like to me but hey, you gotta sweet deal... :mrgreen:

    Boston John? Is that you? Glad you enjoyed the seats and the shows mate. If not, hey, the same still applies!
    115 bucks for half a haircut by a novice? I want my money back!
