[Slowhand] [Fwd: Ticketmaster a rare success story]

[tom at digicabana.com]

I've had a couple of very successful Ticketmaster experiences too.

In 1990 I camped out for Alpine Valley (SRV's last concert) tickets, and
obtained 7th or 8th row, left side of the stage.

Then last year, I obtained 5th row tickets for The United Center (in
Chicago) for the Winwood Clapton show. My tickets were a little off to the
left side of the stage, but still fantastic.

For this year's Crossroads show, I was able to obtain seated tickets, but
all the way in the back of the staidum.

I'm not a fan of Ticketmaster, but I don't think it's their issue per se
that demand is high for the Crossroads show.

Back in 1988 when I was a freshmen in college, I camped out all night for
tickets and was able to get 10 seats in the front row, seats 1-10 starting
from stage right (@ the Palace of Auburn Hills outside of Detroit). I took
seat 10 which was just a foot or two in front of EC's spot as he was
playing with MK and his spot was not dead center. It was a killer show. I
took my dad and cousins and we had a blast.

I still have a photo copy of the original tickets!
