Topi,
Hi there. With the lucky dips,do people get upgraded if they ask? In Chicago, guest relations said no.I have LD for Charlotte and have a feeling they will be good seats like the LD for St Louis

I don't think it works that way.
But flash a $50 bill at them and ask nicely?

Well there you go! It's "here goes nothing" if you ask.
Maybe I have just been too shy before...
I do remember in Stuttgart the guy upgrading these young girls from GA to pit was like "negative, guys" when me and my friend as much as approached him to ask for a pit wristband. (Eventually we did get taken care of, in another way)
Prague, now, that's one for the ages. Could tell you a thing or two about that LD pickup. But that was closing a deal, not asking...;-) And in Prague the whole LD "draw" was skewed anyway.

Had completely forgotten about it, but I got upgraded at one of the Chicago shows last tour.
Went to guest services and asked if I could exchange my more expensive upper level seats for the floor.. He sifted through a stack and handed us two GA floors.. which ultimately led to the pit, where I ran into you

Geez. What a change. Do folks remember the arenas from 1981. They’d hit the stage at 10:30PM. There was like a 2 hour wait after opening act. Lol

Many, myself included have asked and received better seats in the past.
Was mainly back when they used to give out a lot of nosebleeds though, and that hasn't been the case for the last couple tours.
First pair I got, when they called them "$85 Mystery" tickets, I was able to get upgraded to lower level side stage after asking a guest services rep at MGM Grand.
Typically you would have to have a decent reason though, can't see, ,muffled sound, can't physically climb that many stairs etc.
Happened fairly frequently back then, but fortunately the fill the nosebleeds strategy has been replaced by them distributing mostly pre-designated side stage areas and pits.
