Springsteen concert tix: Target acquired!

The Sweet One got the seventh place in line and by 10:10 we had the shiny pieces of paper that the greedy monopolists at Ticketmaster were good enough to sell me for only a $9.90 per ticket service charge:

The good folks at Compaq Center, soon to be HP Pavillion, at San Jose show the view from our seats:
