So...

This is what was sent out via Twitter:

@thefray: Care to sit here? You're about to find out how.
shortly there after...

@thefray: 2 tickets. West box office. Donut box. Inside. Get 'em while they're hot!
After security thought I was insane asking "have you seen a donut box around?"....

First to find the box!

new seats... pretty clutch.

Thanks so much to The Fray!
