best seats you've ever had for a concert
 

Man, I was only gone for like a week and this place is so crammed full of new threads it's like an entirely new place! So, why not start another one!

I say, let's keep them within the first five rows. My best seats:

Magnetic Fields in Vancouver: 3rd Row
Ani Difranco in Banff: Front Row
Ani Difranco in Banff: 3rd Row
Fleetwood Mac in Calgary: 3rd Row Centre
Fleetwood Mac in Toronto: 5th Row
Diana Krall (back when I kinda gave a ****) in Calgary: Front Row Centre
Holly Cole (see above) in Calgary: Front Row Centre
Alison Krauss (coming up soon!) in Calgary: 3rd Row
Emmylou Harris in Vancouver: 3rd Row
Jane Siberry in Calgary: Front Row
Lyle Lovett in Calgary: 4th Row
George Jones in Calgary (coming soon! and yes, i know it's funny I'm seeing him): 3rd Row
Morrissey in Toronto: 6th Row - i know it's 6th row but I did get up to the front half way into the set and held his hand!

I'm sure there are more but I can't think of any others right now.

My best seats were front row for 6 FM concerts on the SYW tour! MInd you I don't think my bum actually touched the seats at all!

When I saw Stevie in Vegas in 2001 I was 5th row.

Hmmmm...does actually being "in the band" count? :shrug:

5th Row last month for Stevie/Don in Pittsburgh

5th row last year for Mac in Hershey

I kinda wanna kill you a little bit. But by kill you i mean... well, kill you! That's awesome! How the f did you snag such tits tickets?

4th row for FM in Atlanta May 2004, which turned into standing under Stevie for majority of the show. :nod:
Same as above for Jacksonville in May 04.
Front row for the Tuesday Vegas show.
I had bought 8th row for Stevie/Don in Atlanta but was able to sit on Suzanne's lap for the first 30 mins of the show on the 4th row. But did the right thing and moved back to my seat.
Currently looking for something in the first 5 rows for Vegas..... :rolleyes:

First row - right in front of Stevie on the SYW tour - in El Paso, Texas!
Fifth row center (in the aisle) - Stevie TISL Tour - Albuquerque, NM - I managed to get up to the front though :D

Uhhh...
 

5th row center for Mirage.

14th row in Hartford 04' :cool:

Luckiest.Man.Ever.

I was in front for the two say you will shows that I saw. One cost a bumload of money, the other was $25. It's hard to go back from front row.

I had front row for 5 Fleetwood Mac shows and 3rd row for another one which basically was front row since they let the first 3 rows up to the stage anyway. :D

$25? How did that happen?
I don't remember how much Mirage was....I'm thinking like $14......maybe $20.

LOL! Well a couple fo the shows I got front row through the fan club which was amazing really since the fan club did nothing for the US shows. The rest of the tickets I snagged about a week or so before the actual gigs. Just happened to check at the right time as they released a whole load of front row seats. I emailed everyone I could think of and quite a few ofthe folks from my UK list snaffled them!

As it turned out they were letting the first few rows up anyway so it was all good...

I would have to agree with that...
