Did anyone get seat upgrades at either NY show?

I saw some threads that people were upgraded at the Boston shows, but I didn't see anything about this from any of the NY threads.

    A "ticket fairy" randomly picks someone to upgrade. It's been people sitting in balconies, etc. - not on the floor.

    Here is my ticket upgrade story for NYC2:
    It first started with my 0-5 (NYC I&II, DC I&II, NJ) run this Eddie solo tour with 10club tickets which was a frustrating experience all around, but ended up all the better since I was able to score seats through ticketbastard during the public onsale.
    On the day of the show me and my girlfriend picked up a poster got to our seats pretty early after we met Ed briefly before when he walked out to say hi to a few of us out back. We both were reading the "playbill" together when a guy came up to us and said he worked for Eddie and asked if we would like an "upgrade".
    When we got to the seats we were first row on the isle to the right, absolutely unreal. The 10club gods apparently were redeeming me for the 0-5 shut out and about 5 hours of refreshing that I wasted during that one week.
    The best part was that my girlfriend finally got to see the show without a "limited" view (her height shortness usually leads her to watch someone's back rather than the show when we have my 10club seats), the look on her face when they showed us our seats was priceless.

    Hey! I think I saw you guys getting taken to your seats! I was a few
    rows behind you but the look on your girlfriend's face when you
    got to the front row was just great!
