1. When I saw John Mayer at a 20,000+ arena in Chicago, his entire front row was lottery based, but given away to fans in the 300 section. People who couldn't afford floor seats. The way he weeded out who the die-hards who couldn't afford vs. the people that were only in those seats cause they were the cheapest, was he had his crew walking through the 300s at doors. Whoever had a seat in the 300 section and was there the full hour before the opening act even started (which could have meant a good 3 hours before JM hit the stage) was an eligible candidate. My brother and I were there, and the girls sitting like 4 rows in front of us got chosen to go in the front row.
  2. VH's new song is shit anyway. Jesus.
  3. Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3The way it needs to be done is how they do it at The Metro (small club in Chicago where i saw Jane's Addiction and Foo Fighters last year).

    No tickets. Only way into the venue was to present a photo ID with the same name as the credit card that purchased your tickets. You were allowed plus however many people you bought for- they were marked on the hand. Doors were arranged alphabetically to avoid clusters, but you were basically just checked off an attendance list. No resales possible. Had to have that name attached to the original purchase.

    I hate the idea of not having that paper souvenir, proof that you were there that night...but I'll print out some pictures and save some confetti instead if it means I can actually have a shot at some seats once in a goddamn while.


    That's great, but impossible to do with >3000 people venues.
  4. I'm reading Russell Watson's book, it's great.
  5. I'm listening to 'Bohemian Rhapsody' on vinyl. Words cannot describe how good it sounds.
