Total luck of the draw sometimes. I've use TM a number of times over the past year or three. For Tommy Emmanuel, I went online and bought tickets. I checked the map of the venue (Smothers Theater at Pepperdine), and the tickets that came up weren't on the map. I was fairly late to purchase (about a week or two before the show) so I just bought them and figured I'd take what I got. When we got to the place, we went in and it turns out they were dead center 1st row right at the edge of the stage. TE was like 5' away from us. Turns out the "pit" area wasn't listed on the seating map.
And the concert was sold out (as was the previous night - in fact that one was sold out when I went to buy tix). The only other time I've gotten front row center was for Jeff Beck in 1980. We slept overnight and were the 3rd people in line. The first two guys bought Santana tickets. I got 4 tix first row dead center. That was a religious experience.
