    There must be a group of decent 10c folks going who would have you join up with them. Might consider attending the Wishlist thing - might be able to get rid of that spare quickly. Take good care OP.

    Best wishes to you on a speedy recovery.

    As someone mentioned, be on the look out during the weekdays mostly. This place gets quiet on the weekends. Hell, your inbox will probably start filling up before then. Just give it a little time. 

    Try to remember, it's close to the show and many people here have tickets or simply cannot make it to Seattle (that would be me :disappointed:). But that said, someone WILL take you up on the offer. 

    Also, as mentioned, you can meet up with the lucky winner at the Wishlist Party. Tons of great folks there and for a great cause! They would most certainly love to have you. Could probably get a whole gang of them there to help you out at the show too. And it gives you a chance to make sure the lucky winner isn't too creepy! Win/win/win

    Sounds like you got rid of your weakness so good on you for that. Glad he didn't get to enjoy the show with you. He don't deserve to see you having so much fun.

    Kinda weird...

    free ticket.
    free room.
    no one? my self esteem is in the bucket.
    i cant help i have cancer...three times. damn.
    Hi Sheri, first off, I'm so sorry you're going through this.  I swear once you beat the cancer itself, you'll be so glad you got rid of that loser boyfriend!

    I also wanted to say Sheri I have a hunch that the reason no one has stepped up yet is NOT because somehow people want to avoid you because you have cancer.  I think most here can sympathize and many of us have our own encounters with cancer through loved ones or battling it directly.  The thing that I think is hard is, people may be unsure what it will take to "take care of you" at the show, and probably most people don't want to say they'll do it and then find out they aren't equipped to do it.

    That doesn't help you I know, but I really think that in this great fan community, it's more likely because those who are going or want to go are more worried that they won't be able to take proper care of you, than they are trying to get away from someone with cancer.

    You're in a really tough spot and I feel for you.  I hope this works out, and a big strong fan (male or female, cuz women are strong as hell too) can literally help prop you up and help you get in and out and get through the show.  And needless to say, you probably want to stay at the back end of the pit for this!

    Take care and good luck!

    Well said on all points. And in some cases, people like me might not be traveling in for the first show. Best of luck and hope to hear you have a ticket buddy for the show!

    Sheri, I think it will be ok if you don't find a seat buddy as most PJ fans are cool and will help you if you need it. With that said, you should see a bunch of potential seat buddies right outside the stadium, looking for tickets. Best of luck!

    Sheri, I hope you find a worthy taker for that ticket.  If I could get away for N1, I'd be there, but I could only do N2.  Ticket and flights secured today.  Best of luck, and have one helluva time at the show!
