That is like THE best place to see a show as far bars in a strip mall go, even if you stand there the whole time. I've been to shows at the Bell Centre in Montreal, SPAC in Saratoga, Place Des Arts in Montreal, Burlington Memorial Auditorium and Champlain Valley Exposition in Vermont and I've fallen in love with Northern Lights. I went back there in January we were "front row" for 38Special and I might be there again in May to see another band. Can't wait to be "front row" for the next time the hip come.

How do u people manage to score these front row seats?? Do you all have connections? Or just get lucky with on sale dates? :x

just buy tickets online at the pre-sale and general onsale...if you are online right when they go onsale you will get good seats...but every second counts, literally.

Front row at ACC, can't rmember if it was an evening with the Hip... yes I am pretty sure it was. Great show. Seen numerous shows in the U.S in small places front and centre. Also saw them from 4th row at Massey hall when they played there. Hmmm also the Lee's palace show before IVL was released.. after standing outside in the rain all day. I stood back at that show, but it was fun.

FRONT AND CENTRE right in front of Gordy!!! For the London show in November 2005. First time front row so I needed to tell people this..... So I wore a t-shirt that said "FRONT ROW VIRGIN". My husband was feeling left out that he didn't have a t-shirt so I made him one too. His said "I'M SCREWING THE FRONT ROW VIRGIN". I got these t-shirts made at COPYMAN and the lady was cracking up and said she wished she had a guy wearing a t-shirt that said she was getting screwed. (She said it had been awhile for her) :lol:

syracuse IBE tour, orchestra pit, my hands on the stage the whole show, pauls setlist signed by all 5 guys afterwards......oh yeah and a guitar pick handed to me from paul. great night, being there with family and having the best seats in the house.

I forgot that from the pit in Syracuse I was able to grab the setlist from the stage. I was nice to security guard the whole show, so when it ended I asked If I could jump on the stage and grab it. He said go for it. I have the set list plus Drum sticks from the Northern Lights show in a nice showbox picture frame.

Sucks to be Canadian huh
? The FURTHERST I've sat from the stage was Dec, 2000 at the UIC Pavillion in Chicago in row 15. I've been against the stage in front of Paul in 95, in front of Bobby in 93, sitting at the bar in Martyr's in Chicago about 15 feet from Paul in 98, about 3 rows back in Milwaukee, yadda yadda yadda.sorry about that.

front rows at an evening with in Sudbury, Dec 5 2000, and i was pretty much right up front at the Sudbury Bluesfest last summer, i liked the bluesfest better because it was waaaaaaaaay more people, and a way more energetic crowd.
