Buying front row tix?

Sprunkn7

Besides 10c, has anyone spent the cash for front row tickets? It's on my lifetime wishlist and I was wondering how I was going to manage it. I'm not looking for this tour but the next trip they do Northeast. Any insight would be helpful!! Thanks all!

i have bought them a couple of time. It cost me about $1200/pair each time. Its not really possible anymore now that 10c does rollover shows too. When the rollover shows use to be straight to Ticketmaster they were available more. Now it doesnt happen. If you ever did see any for sale they are probably the last two on the aisle which will suck and arent worth the money.

Yeah, the price sounds about right. bf got front row Rush tickets like 10 yrs ago and they were about $300 each. I would rather have 2nd row if they were in front of Ed or between Ed and Mike than over to the side. I bet it's worth the $$.
My mission next year or the next or the next or the next... I hope 2007 at MSG ( or sooner ). hahahaha.

Done it twice for boston shows - Boston 3 -2003 700 for a pair dead center and Boston 2 2004 - 450 for a pair way to the side by Stone.

It is only money.......

Go ask that on the Astoria thread.

10c did not give me front row seats. I wish I had brought my binoclors. I am just too in love to be that far.

This isn't a "problem", this is just a question.
If you have never paid more than face value for a ticket and don't really care about the topic why post a reply? I have a 10c number that is pretty decent, my seats are usually within the first 15 rows or close wings, so inquiring about purchasing front row tickets is not a problem, its a hopeful pursuit.

Thanks to anyone posting that is sharing their ideas and personal exp.

For the 6-3 show at continental my friend and was at the box office picking up his 10c tix and asked if they had anything better. the lady said 4 front rows just opened up, so he paid 150 for each and him and his brother sat front row.

yeah, its def only money...but i didnt have any of it, so i took his way better 10c seats (than mine) and let him splurge

now though, i'm going to ask everytime i go to pick up...doesnt hurt to ask!

Tried that in Camden but had better seats than what opened up. We also sent some people looking to buy tickets (they put a sign up on their windsheild in the parking lot "need two tickets") to the window at the Continental and they got good seats too. Not front row, but good seats.

that doesnt make any sense. why were they 150 each at the box office.

I've never had front row for PJ, but it is also on my lifetime wishlist.

They are very hard to find because normally those seats are reserved for 10c and they don't end up for sale.

I saw front row on Ebay for one of the '05 Canadian shows and the pair ended up selling for about $800 canadian.

Remember me if you ever score front row and need someone to go with you

I've always wondered the same thing.I'm not greedy, but just once I want to be in the front row. *grumbles about people with really low 10c numbers*

That's actually pretty reasonably...especially looking back on those two shows.
