This site is supported by a single individual. My name is Gary. I do not work in the ticketing industry. I'm an amateur musician, but you'll probably never buy a ticket to one of my events! I have never been victimized.

I subscribe to the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. My regular seats are in the first row of the loges section. I saw Art Garfunkel, James Taylor, and Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg from the loges, as well as other classical stars. I saw Paul McCartney in Toronto in 2002 from row 16 on the floor. I saw Bruce Springsteen in Buffalo in 1999 from the upper deck, and from the lower level in Rochester in March, 2003. I saw Elton John and Billy Joel at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse in 2001 from the lower level, but that's a big place and we were about a mile from the stage. I saw Barry Manilow a couple times in Rochester back in the 70s or 80s, from the upper deck. I saw Tony Bennett and the Monkees from the lawn at the Finger Lakes Performing Arts Center. I saw "A Chorus Line" and "The Producers" on Broadway from balcony seats, and I saw "Riverdance on Broadway" from truly amazing seats in the dead center of the 8th row, probably my best ticket purchase ever. I saw Maynard Ferguson in a small club in 2002 and got an autograph. I saw Ani Difranco in a room about the size of your living room, back in the late 1990s; I bought a cassette tape from her and she autographed it. I saw Bette Midler in Rochester in 2004 from the tenth row, near the center, very nice.
