ok so heres my gripe!! i went to get my fan club tickets this morning in albany ny, stood in line for what seemed like forever! only 20 people in front of me so i am thinking I'm gonna get great seats. well i get up to the window and they inform us that they are not selling 1st, 3rd, or 5th row. (these went to radio stations for promotion) so instead of getting 2nd row like i should have, i got 4th row. now yes this does piss me off. arent we supposed to be getting the best tickets?? but no, some joe shmo will be getting the front row. this brings back a thought about the lucky people who have gone up on stage during the show. they are not fan club members either, just lucky radio station winners. but like my husband has said in the past and said again today~ the band is in it for the money (check out the price of those tickets) they know we are already hooked, we're going to pay the price for the tickets and the merchandise and all the rest. they're trying to make new fans from which they can make more money from. now i was obviously pissed and this started a discussion in line while we were waiting. and according to the security manager of the arena, springsteen (which is like huge, and whos show sold out here last week in 22 minutes) has a circle in front of the stage set aside for his fan club and only the fan club. which does alot of other performers. dont get me wrong i am a fan since the begining and will continue to be and pay my membership and go to all the shows (which brings us back to what my husband has been saying, they already got us hook line and sinker) but are we getting screwed here???????
