Driving Around Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Communicated with HOB today and placed on reserve the box I had listed on my previous post with all the goodies including VIP tix for the meet and greet after the show. The box is in the balcony level over the first row and over the stage. It has 6 velvet bar stools with backs. There is a large enough area to dance. It is private and security will only allow those with special bands to enter the area. There is a special catering menu and special waitress is assigned to the box. Basically it is the HOB equivalant to a private suite. Here is what the box has:Twelve (12) General Admission TicketsTwelve (12) Passes for entry into Balcony BoxSix barstools in balcony box for seating Cocktail service 12 VIP MEET AND GREET TICKETS There is a partial barricade between Boxes 3 & 4.Guests may have to pass through one box for access to the other.Okay so for every two tickets you purchase one of the seats will be yours...they line up on a counter facing the stage. Our box is far enough back to give great site lines...and the after show meet and greet is included! Here is what I am doing. I am laying out the thousands of dollars and going to ask $250 a ticket. Should I sell all 12 tickets I will spend money on catering in the box for everyone to share in - hows that? I am buying this box and seats can be yours. I will post the seats on Ebay in 24 hours if they are not all taken here on the web site first. To purchase you can either paypal me (add $6 per ticket) or I have the ability to recreate a check faxed to me for deposit. Call my cell phone at 603-858-6000 or email me at hedohome@hotmail.com I can send you a paypal link or give you my fax number. Thanks!Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Sidoti Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Regarding the boxes. I took a walk through with a manager last night at the House of Blues for their 'soft' opening. Basically doing dress rehearsal type stuff for security personnel, wait staff, bartenders, ushers, band, etc. Anyone questioning whether or not to purchase this seat should know you will be amazed at how close you are to the stage. I walked down to the first one on the left balcony and you could very well be looking 20 feet down to the stage. These are very cool seats, the bar stools are very plush with stand up bar-type tables, room to stand or sit without blocking the view of the upper boxes. The place looks absolutely amazing! And for those of you who are debating on getting the few remaining VIP upgrades, should do so. The Cambridge room is very cool which I believe is where the meet and greet is. Can't wait to see you all!Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving Around Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 thanks paul - if someone wants like 4 or 6 tix I would bend...just trying to cover costs somehow.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Jon,Why not post a fixed sale for the tickets on eBay? Regular General Admission tickets are going for $300 plus a pair.Just a thought.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driving Around Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 Thanks Bernie - I posted one but its taking ebay forever to get sales up...check it out later tonight. All I need is to get one other person to buy two tickets and the private box is a definite - Ill chance the rest of the huge expense (sigh). Made my hotel reservations today at the Hyatt as it is across the street from HOB and also in an Arcade of some sort. Looking like I will be there...but you never know... Too late for a ribbon I guess..but I will be easy to spot. If I am coming I will describe myself online and I know everyone will laugh and say that has to be "Driving Around" (which by the way I hope they do).Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I'm sure it's not too late for a ribbon. Send a private message to anniekny by clicking on the private message icon over one of her posts (which is on the thread called "Raspberry Ribbon.") She will send ribbons out to you if you send her your address. She's amazing! I got mine in one day. Good Luck! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driving Around Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 Thanks Darlene - I will do that! Looks like the box is a definite....2 tix from the box sold on Ebay as soon as the posting became public. That is a pretty good sign! Wow - I am really going to this concert now...can not believe it. I am very, very, psyched! One week from today we'll be hearing some great tunes - never thought we'd ever have the chance to see them and now we do. A seat and the meet and great - truly been a blessed week so far!Jon (and the lovely Janet will be with me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driving Around Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 Six of the ten tickets offered are sold. There are still 4 tickets available in the box. So any last minute people that want to see the show from a great spot at the HOB - grab them on ebay and I will overnight them Monday. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittie Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Hi Jon, So glad you are having good luck with the tickets! I have a feeling you will sell them all by Friday! Good luck with the remaining ones and see you at the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniekNY Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Hi Jon - See how everyone takes care of you?? Your ribbon is in the mail - all it will cost is a seat in your box! see you next week! I can't believe it's less than a week away......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driving Around Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 Annie - there is one ticket left...unreal! Someone did take a single and he is not that concerned about sitting either. All other 10 tickets are gone! I am checking out the catering menu - they have chocolate covered strawberries...I sent the manager an email and asked if we could get some kind of chocolate - raspberry dessert for the box. Looks like with one ticket left that I am going to sell them all so now I can splurge and cater the place!!! The menu looks decent.....

Raspbernie Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Ebay was your answer! Glad it all worked out.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniekNY Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Wow - that is amazing, Jon! You must be absolutely thrilled with the way it all worked out.I went on Ebay to see what the action was on your ticket sales and I couldn't find it. I only saw the 2 GA tix selling for $255 or so.annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
