Joe Wallace braved the crisp weather this morning with about 150 others to score a pair of sixth row tickets positioned very well on the side of the stage for the November 9th Bob Seger concert. Wallace is shown in the picture after purchasing his pair of tickets with Scott Schoenike, the general manager of VenuWorks. Wallace queued up at about 9:20 this morning and was 35th in line. That placement netted him a choice of about the 12th row on the floor or 6th row on the side. When considering the possibility that 11 rows of tall people could be in front of him he chose the side for he and his wife Karen.
The mood was festive in the line with early risers being rewarded with near stage front tickets on the floor. There was a 6 ticket limit and many people were maximizing their possibilities. The crowd was distinctly the same crowd that would have queued up for concert tickets back in the 70’s and many stories of concerts past were exchanged. There were lots of ponytails, concert shirts, grey hair, and smiles as the rock and roll fan inside drew the crowd to downtown Evansville on this Saturday morning to get the best tickets available.
Mr. Wallace: two words: “calf raises”
