    I thought people are eligible for about 50% of a charitable donation (what this would be considered) to be deducted from their taxes, or something like that? Tickets were $70 apiece I believe, means it would cost one $540, or $270 per front row ticket... that's about fair I'd say. You'd see the same on craigslist or stubhub, and would have a guarantee that that money would be going into some greedy bastard's pocket.

    Its a deduction for those that itemize their deductions. So the % is dependent on your tax bracket. You can deduct the total amount - the value of goods received which is likely face value of the tickets. I will say these will likely go over double what they are listed at now.

    SHOW COUNT: (170) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=114, US=124, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=4, Australia=5
    Mexico=1, Colombia=1

    It says "Front Row Orchestra Seats". Does that mean front row in that little pit area or is the pit in front of orchestra. Imagine paying a whole bunch, and then getting there only to find a scene in front of you like that crowd in the front at Calgary. That would be a turd.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    The auction page says they are orch section 4 row AA, so that is first row outside the pit.

    I took a close look at this. Obv the money is huge, but I was thinking there may be few chances in life to ever have such an experience (and with the potential for a tax credit, etc., it may not be the craziest thing I've ever done considering I paid $500 to see Ed at LAII and ended up sitting in some pretty bad seats with a tweaked out close talker on one side and a chick on her cellphone on the other). Taking a look at the 3D seating chart I found online, the seats are clearly outside of the pit. Still awesome, but certainly a bit misleading in the ad...

    Maybe that is why there are still no bids
