(11,151 posts)Stevie Wonder played Phoenix for pretty much the only time in about 40 years in 2007 or 08. Tickets were pretty outrageously priced, but a friend and I decided to see if we could score some cheap scalped tickets at showtime.
We got lucky and immediately found a pair for $50. Good price didnt really see exactly where they were, but they looked to be pretty low.
Got in and they werent just good, they were incredible - 20 rows back on the floor. As were waiting for the lights to go down, an entourage comes in and sits down in the row in front of us, and I was sitting behind a really tall guy, my friend had a shorter guy in a fedora - not who youd want to be behind for a show. Then a bunch of people ran up to them and they turned around.
It was Mike Tyson and Cedric Ceballos.
