dawn71 Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 I have 7 lawn tickets for the Dallas concert on Thursday Aug.26th if anyone wants them... I am giving them a way for free. I just bought 3 more so now I have 7 lawn tickets to give away. Also 1 lucky person will be getting a pit ticket so actually I have 8 tickets I am giving away. So, if you know someone that wants to go but doesn't have the money, let them know I have 4 lawn tickets I'm giving away. I know they are only lawn tickets but at least they'd get to see the concert. I'll be there in line at the concert early. I'm easy to find I'm the one in the wheelchair that has Green Day stickers and stuff all over the back of my chair. Every time I saw a cheap ticket I bought it even though I didn't need it. I figured there must be some big Green Day fans that would love to go but don't have the money. Let me know send me a message 1st come 1st serve. Please don't take them and turn around and sell them it would defeat my whole purpose. I wish I could have afforded more to buy better seats and more to give away...... If I don't have enough I will do my best to make sure everyone that doesn't have the funds to go gets in. I can't promise but will do my best. Also the pit ticket I am giving away will be given away at the Hard Rock Cafe meet up please RSVP with PedestrianNumber5. PM him to let so he can reserve enough room at the HRC for everyone.
Ellenkc Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 I'm not going to this show but I figured I'd pop in here to say you're amazing. Seriously this is an incredibly nice thing to do

ihaveapenisbitch! Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 I just want to say you are an amazing person. I live on the wrong side of the Atlantic for this, but you are phenominal. Never change.
lizziebix Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 You are an amazing woman. What a wonderful gift you are giving to some very lucky fans. You are doing what is called a mitzvah - a good deed for no reason other than to do it for good.
TheSaltOfTheEarth Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 That's the nicest thing ever. You're an amazing person, especially seeing as I'm one of the fans who couldnt go because of the expense I wish someone did this for the Toronto show... But wow. You are truly a great person.
dawn71 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Posted August 24, 2010 Thank you for all the compliments I appreciate them, really I do. i am not doing this to be for the praise. I am doing this because I love Green Day, and I have for past 19 yrs. I missed thier last 2 tours Green Day made in my area. The 1st time I missed it becuse I was deployed,and the last tour because I was healing from back surgery that was due to an IED explosion I was in during my 2nd deployment. It really sucked to miss their concerts due to things out of my control. This will be the 1st Green Day concert that I have had to go to in a wheelchair and when I went to by my tickets to see Green Day from the pit. I had to fight like hell because they didn't want to sell a handicapped person a pit ticket. In the end I won and even though this is will be the 1st GD concert I have had to see from a wheelchair I wanted to see the concert like I always had FROM THE PIT!! After all of that and seeing people on here not being able to go to Green Day's concert because of money, I wanted to do something to help. Because I know what it is like to be a huge Green Day fan and have to miss their concert for reasons out of your control. With the economy as bad as it is I know there are some Green Day fans that can't afford to go due to financial reasons that are out of their control. So, I decided I am going to do as much as I could to help. I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination but you don't have to be to make a difference no matter how small its a good thing. And seeing Green Day live is a great thing!!!!!!!!!!!!
babykaos Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 withdrawing my request. will no longer be needing the tickets. But thank you soooo much for doing such a great thing. I hope they go to someone who will truly appreciate them.
Holly Ann Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Honestly, what you're doing is amazing. That's so good and selfless of you.

SixtiesJunkiie Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 I'm over here in VA but just wanted to say 'Wow!' And your story about how you missed the last two tours was touching. That's awesome you've been a fan since 1991, you deserve to have an amazing concert experience for your first GD concert!
mallorymaloney Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Oh my God, dude, this ... Is fucking amazing. You are fucking amazing. You're a true working class heroine, y'know that?

Its not my 1st Green Day concert just the 1st one that I've had to go to in a wheelchair. but still ho[ing for an awesome time. Seeing Green Day always is. The 1st time I saw them live was in 1991 in Florida, it was pretty awesome. Its cool to see how much their concerts have grown over the years.

That's awesome, yeah I'm sure there are so many similarities in how they perform as well as so many new things that change over the years, and over the decades. Have fun!!
ParadoxAndPlaid Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 This is so generous of you. Going out of your way to help other fans, expecting nothing in return. I really can't express in words how selfless and inspiring you are. I hope the show is great, you deserve an amazing experience.
dawn71 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Posted August 25, 2010 There are still some left if anyone still needs
