- Total, just about. I know of BASS staff who've grabbed entire front rows
- for themselves and friends before the public even got a look in. Then there
- are the large amounts of seats - prime seats - reserved for the media and
- giveaways.

- But for really popular stuff, they sell so fast you could still be
- disappointed. The only concert I've ever camped otu overnight for was the
- Duran Duran show at the Entertainment Center in 1983. I was second in line,
- and still got seats 27 rows back.

- With a little luck, yes, it just depends how many greedy "in the know"
- people there are that also want seats.
-
- You might try ringing Save Time Service in Melbourne, whose entire business
- is to get customers good seats at concerts and shows. You pay them a 5 or 10
- percent premium, then they do all the hard work. You probably still won't
- get front row, but the seats should be pretty good.
