Columbus VIP ticket

Hey, all! I'm going to the Columbus show this Thursday (can't wait!)

Does anyone know if they ever release the higher-priced VIP tickets (ie 1st 5 rows) or have released them in the past, such as the 2007 tour? I'm asking because I've been checking daily for the last month and all they have is just row M,N,P etc. (it's just me, so one ticket needed). The reason why I am asking is that I can't stand the floor unless you are in the first few rows (no view and too many people standing). I've been to hundreds of concerts and I always get lower level near the stage. Yep, call me picky, but if I'm going to pay $400.00, I want to be on the side near the stage or in the first few rows.
Yes, I know I know...I could always buy the cheaper $375 ticket in the back and then just snag an empty lower level seat on the side about 5 minutes after the show starts etc (I may do this).

On ticketmaster, all they have is singles at the back of the lower level and also a seat near the stage but way too high (row W).

I have looked for platinum seats, but haven't seen any platinum seats offered on ticketmaster lately and the usual scalpers/agencies don't have anything in the first 5 rows anyway.

I intentionally did not book my VIP ticket in Nov/Dec when they first went on sale because, due to the nature of my work, I travel out-of-state a lot and did not want to put out that kind of money that far in advance without knowing what state I would be in by the time the tour started.

I'm actually local (Columbus) and will be in-town this week after all (thank God!)

So, I have to ask...

Here goes...

Does anyone have an extra higher-priced VIP ticket ($425 ticket) that they would like to sell to another huge FM/Lindsey/Stevie fan? (I had VIP Lindsey tickets last year and have also been to several Stevie and Lindsey solo shows and FM shows going back over 20 years).

Or...does anyone know where I can just buy a better single seat (of any kind) near the stage? Thought I would put the word out here so that we could help each other first.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
