If your like me and you don't have a money tree here are few ideas I can give you.

1. Find someone who will pay for your seat in exchange you will fly out and use your 10c#.
2. Fly into one city and find a fellow fan to drive you to the next city.
3. Hostels are a life saver on lodging costs.
4. Be prepared to save your week vacation at work.
5. Plan carefully to catch a bunch of shows in one trip.
6. Come early to the shows and meet other fans.
7. Put $25 per week away. That's 5-7 shows a year.

Maybe some people have good tips for work without vacation time and dealing with kids.

EX: I spent $850 total to go to Hartford, Boston, Newark, and both MSG's
1996 - Ft Lauderdale
1998 - West Palm Beach 1
2000 - West Palm Beach 1&2
2003 - WPB,Tampa,Atlanta,Camden 1&2,MSG 1&2, Boston 3,Hershey Park
2004 - Asheville, Kissimmee
2008 - West Palm Beach,Tampa,Columbia,Virginia Beach, Mansfield 1&2
2010 - Hartford,Boston,Newark, MSG 1&2
2011 - PJ20 1&2, Costa Rica
2013 - Wrigley,Brooklyn 1&2,Seattle
2014 - Denver,Mountain View 1&2
2015 - Bogata, Mexico City
2016 - Ft Lauderdale,Miami,Tampa,NYC 1&2,Telluride,Fenway 1&2,Wrigley 1&2

    So if you have a good TC #... make someone pay for both tickets to be able to sit with you?

    That sounds fair... :?

    Isn't this considered profiting from using your (presumably) low member number?
