About 18 years ago. I was with a buddy at a music/record store that had a Ticketron counter. My friend, a singer, looks up on the listing of concerts and says, "I'd love to see Rush. Have you ever seen them?"
Nope. Says I. "Let's see what tickets are left" The show was that same evening. Junk I'm sure, Nose bleed.
The girl at the counter gives us a 'good luck guys' kinda scowl, as she punches in the Rush ticket availability.
She does a 'double take' and looks at us and says there are four front row slightly off to the side tickets! Need I say more? The promotor or some ticket agency had dumped them back into the system
It was AWSOME.
