Some of what I have to say is probably going come back and bite me in the future. First the Good Stuff! For the 1st time I purchased my ticket thru the Fan Club and I had a perfect seat.loved it. The bad thing. Front Row seat winners must be on the far side sections. After many many many Alan concerts in 8 states in 20 years, I have seen this happen before. This is what was happening... I was in the 3rd row, just off center in Section 2. The front row was empty when I got there. I watched as the seats were slowly filled with young girls maybe 17-20 dressed in short shorts, short skirts and revealing tops. All cute little girls, not one male. this was a huge front row. By the time Alan was to come out.the girls were dancing with each other and screaming at center stage. I spoke to the security person that had been doing the seating, he told me each girl had a front row ticket. When I voiced my curiosty he finally told me that Alan's tour manager had been going through the audience plucking the cuties from far back and lawn seats and giving them front row tickets. Then here comes Nathan, Alans Tour Manager,( yes I knew who he was) stirring up the girls to get up and dance and scream during Alan's performance. I stopped him and told him how unfair that was, where are the front row FC winners? where are the men? where are fans over 20? I took a photo of the 3rd row..only older and old FC members including men were seated there. What is going on? I can not believe Alan wants only female youngsters in his front row. He loves his loyal fans that have been here from the beginning of his career as well as the new fans. ONE more thing, an elderly lady sitting right behind me in the 4th row, has been to 28 Alan concerts in 16 years. she has never won a front row ticket or a M&G. As most of us know our 81 year old twins that have been following Alan for 20 years, finally got a M&G at West Palm Beach this past weekend. I met these ladies in Nashville this summer after the Nashville newspaper ran an article about them during Musicfest. They did get on the stage with a large group for a quick photo, no M&G were done that day. Who has belonged to the FC for the most years? Who of them has never had a M&G? Lets give those long time loyal fans some special treatment! Share with Alan how long these loyal fans have belonged to his FC. I promise you not one of those teenagers are members of this FC. BTW Nathan , he now knows who I am.
