Okay.. from the bottom of my heart, thank you to whom ever handles the pulling of people to the front row.

My husband and I arrived at the Chicago show tonight (Chicago 2) and we sat down a little after 6:30pm in our nosebleed obstructed view seats, and we're chatting and getting pumped for the show, and this guy comes up, and is like, "Hey, I work for ed, do you want to have up graded seats, today is your lucky day" and we're like.. WTF.. is this guy for real.. so anyways he says to be quiet and give our tickets, and he gives us new tickets for row freaking AAA seats 101 and 102.. and I'm dying.. so we rush down there, and we're like ON the stage.. like we can rest our whole arms on it.. I was like.. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?!

And so there I was with Eddie like 3 feet away all night, and during ARC he shook my hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You made my day, my week, my month, my year!! I wanted you to know that your pulling went to a huge fan, and a 10c member (who was shut out) and I am so freaking grateful.

Thank you x 1,000,000....

    No, there were plenty of guys in the front row (the whole row was pulled)...

    Plus my husband is male.. Its not like I was wearing a bikini top made out of whipped cream to get up there.. he just came up to us when no one was around yet.

    I was in Montreal chatting with someone I knew from the June tour and he said his friends got upgraded.They were sitting way in the back and then was upgraded to the front row.

    I asked him if it happens a lot and he said it does whenever, no one picks up their tickets- it becomes a give away. Not sure if this was the same case or not.
    but that's the great thing about 10C...and congrats Gray+hubby.

    did Ed mention your signature?... maybe not the right time and place but i bet he wanted to... it's in his eyes
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    The very exact thing - verbatim happened to me Thu night. Moving up to AAA 401. Talking with the folks around me, everyone had been upgraded. Awesome! Thanks Ed for the once in a lifetime experience!

    My face looked a LOT like that emoticon for the entire show.

    My wife said I looked like our 3 year old Christmas day.

    I had Pit Row CCC just from the random drawing and cant thank the 10C enough for those... I noticed that Row AAA had 2 couples (seats 501-504), both of which the women were pregnant! It was really cool of the ticket guys to upgrade the pregnant couples to the front row! Normally I'd be jealous, but I was only 3 feet back from them, so who am I to be jealous :-P
