I would have taken the money as well. Note to self, carry a counterfeit pen just in case...
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

I wouldn't have taken the money either! Good on you! You are gonna have the best frickin' time tonight!!!!!!!!!! Money comes and goes ... f*ck scalpers! Honestly! The experience you are gonna have tonight will last forever!!!!!!!!
Rock on and rock out!!!!! Do share a review when you have recovered!!!
YOU RULE and totally deserve those seats. enjoy the show!
This^^^^^
I don't know you, so I hope you won't take it the wrong way but I am so proud of a fellow Pearl Jam fan for this. Pearl Jam can not really be bought and sold if that makes any sense. A Pearl Jam experience is priceless. I hope you have a FABULOUS time (and you WILL! I experienced front row in Camden - it was one of the best days of my life).

You should have just had counterfeit tickets in your pocket and sold those instead. Even if you didn't win the lotto you could act it out and sell those.
Fuck yeah. There is always hope. I haven't done better than 3rd row (98 SD). Just knowing you have a chance to get up their makes the day so much fun, shit the whole time leading up the show for that matter.

Maybe if you were a long time member who has been close many times.... if you were doing the whole tour and sold 1 pair for 4k might pay for most of the tour? It would be tough to turn down 4 large. Guess it depends on your situation.
Holy Shi@!!!! SECOND ROW DEAD CENTER in front of Eddie!!! 4 g's can't buy the fuc#ing fun I had tonight!! I am physically drained...didn't stop bouncing for more than a few seconds to catch my breath. Met the coolest people sitting around me, Josh, Greg and Lisa to name a few. So I decided that I only get this chance once in a lifetime and I had to make a sign up for the show. So before the show I make up two signs one for me and one for my buddy. They read...."We turned down $4,000 for these seats" and "Best move we ever made!" So we wait for the right moment to hold them up and during Porch, Eddie holds his guitar over his head and shines the spot light around the crowd. As he's drawing the light closer to us, I tell my buddy to hold up our signs and Eddie is doing a quick sweep of the front rows and stops....and shines the light on our signs and reads them!!! He breaks into a laugh to himself!!!...and continues on with the spotlight, how fuc#ing cool!!! So I kinda skipped some stuff up to that point, like the amazing setlist! Open with Hard to Imagine (favorite song from Lost Dogs), Faithful, Evolution (floor was bouncing on that one and the band felt it!) Love, Reign O'er Me, I Believe in Miracles!!! Proch, Alive, and ending with Indifference! Stand out moment of the night...during Alive, Eddie moves to the side stage while Mike is soloing, where his significant other and her friend are hanging out, thing is though that her friend had Eddie's daughter on her shoulders and she is going bonkers tapping her head to the rythym....so Eddie gets over there and his daughter looks up and sees Eddie and gets the biggest smile on her face and yells "Daddy!!!".........priceless.......just beautiful......
So toward the end of Watchtower, Eddie is just dancing in front of us and I hold the sign up again and he reads it once more and pumps his fist to his chest and points at us!! Stone also reads the sign and smiles and waves to us!!!! ........I even managed to score a pick from Stone's roadie after the show.
For those who would have taken the money....fuc# off!! Life's about the memories and living not selling out. Sit in your house and count your money while I'm rockin' out 2nd row with the greatest band EVER!! With some of the greatest fans ever!!
Tonight I lived....and I don't regret anything! PJ rocks!!!
NO BULLSHIT, I was offered $1000 A PIECE for my seats and I said no way. Sect 1 Row R 1&2 IT COULD have been a person for the Olsen chick doing his job, who the fuck knows. I would NOT sell the tickets for PJ for that..............little. $3000 a piece....hmmmmmmm
Tell the Captain the boats not safe were drowning, turns out he's the one making waves.
Congrats on the good seats... you deserve them for turning down that kind of dollar
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
