Oh yes, and he had a total flip out over it.

He knocked my friend right off his feet when he headbutted him, and then Rob threw his hands in the air, dropped to his knees beside my friend who was totally cracking up laughing, put his hands on my friend's chest and kept saying over and over "OMG! I've killed him!"

LMAO

I actually thought he might bean me or Donna in the head at the Today Show a couple of weeks ago At a couple of points the flailing got a little wild. How cool to have Rob Thomas smack you in the head at anytime, but that would totally rock to have it shown on television

Well I hope this discussion doesn't follow the path of a very similar one that took place on the matchbox board before the last tour, though it looks like it might be headed that way. During that one I personally was verbally abused by people who believed that I had managed to get my hands on their tickets, yes THEIR tickets. This was based on the fact that they believed they were more entitled to them than me, an assumption based on thin air because they didn't even know anything about me. So then after verbally abusing me they decided that the best plan of action would be to go to their shows and throw stuff at anyone sitting in front of them, thus hoping to chase these people away so they could move forward and take their seats. It got so out of hand that I even tried to give my tickets back because by then the whole thing was spoiled for me, but I couldn't return them. And even at the shows I was kinda scared to tell anyone my name in case I came face to face with some of my abusers and it all kicked off again. And do you know what started the whole thing off? I made a comment saying that there weren't enough seats in the front row to accommodate everyone who wanted them. Now if I read correctly, Mr T said much the same thing at the start of this thread but strangely nobody wants to punch HIM in the head. I wonder why its ok for him to say it but not me.

LOL, Jo, I just laugh now. People who know nothing about anyone on this board telling us what our problems are. No there was none of this when Fanasylum was the FC cause all of the tickets were face value, and no one knew what they had til the day of the show! There was no basis for arguing seat locations! I read over what Rob was getting as responses yesterday and there was only a few that mentioned actual dollar figures- in fact the same one said the same thing 4 or 5 times, so thats even less. No one FROM HERE said he didn't work hard or had too much money. But I guess it's easier to make a blanket statement here than on Twitter. I am happy for anyone who can afford a destination package- more power to them- my issue- which I think I stated in plain language- was that I FELT the packages took away from the available GOOD seats for non-package people. Rob disagreed. So I'll agree to disagree with him. I think he can deal with that, as I wasn't one of the ones who called him a douche or told him he sucked.

With all due respect, the people I saw making the nastiest comments over there are NOT people I recognize from here. The names I DID recognize from here, made respectful responses to Rob's question as to what peoples' issues with the packages were. No need for any nastiness to or from anyone.

NO nastiness intended... I just know what it feels like to constantly be in a "can't win" situation & it's upsetting. I am very thankful for what I've got.
