Basher 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) Sorry folks, the offer below is closed. I will let people who responded know on Friday if I was able to get them tickets or not.If enough people are interested, I may grab 4 tickets (I need 2) using my membership tomorrow morning. I have already extended an offer to cowboy to take a ticket, and he is thinking about it.I typically end up in the front row either dead centre or a few seats off when I buy tickets with my account. Only caveat is that payment would be due by next Friday. PM me if interested. Edited June 7, 2006 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
