Wow! I wonder what that will bring?

Interesting!

Wow, look at the price

[Prettymaid]

Aw, that's just petty cash to Soda!

[sodascouts]

It's less than what worse single seats are going for on scalper sites right now, and currently it's the same as a pair of 5-star ILAA seats that don't include any meet'n'greet. At $2000, it would be a bargain. Seriously.

However, I imagine before the end of the auction, that price is going to go up substantially - especially in the last few seconds when all those "snipers" swoop in. My experience with Ebay has been that a price can quadruple in those last few seconds!

At least the proceeds go to charity, and not Joe's wallet or some scalper.

[sodascouts]

Joe's auction is up to $3050 with a day left.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow! I didn't think it would go this high yet! At this rate, I wouldn't be shocked if it hits $5000.

[AzEaglesFan]

It would have been nice but it is already way out of my price range.

[sodascouts]

It ends in about 20 minutes. I'm really curious to see how high the last-minute snipers will take it!

ETA: Holy crap there was no sniping!

Whoever won that auction for $3050 got a good deal, if you ask me! I almost bid, no lie, I had my finger over the button... I just couldn't bring myself to spend so much money.

From the JWFC fb page:

Auctioning Eagles Tickets for Gaden Shartse: A Conversation with Joe Walsh

I think this would be in my "wildest dreams" category. Hope the winner appreciates it...I could be his bestie....how fun would this be.

According to Joe the MGM show will be:
the last show with our current production; we're going to go out swinging, and whoever wins the auction will come and be my best friend for the evening.

Thanks for that! Some interesting parts:

Joe Walsh is auctioning VIP Eagles seats, and a meet and greet for the final Eagles show of 2011 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on November 19th, which is significant because the concert is sold out and this is a way someone can still go.

Um - and how about it's significant because THEY GET TO MEET JOE WALSH? lol

so next year, we are going to put another show together around the 40th anniversary, and pull out some archived stuff for visuals and all.

Now THIS is what I like to hear!!! But somebody needs to get Timothy the memo...

If you get on eBay and you win, you come back stage, we'll hang out and take pictures, then I will take you onstage and I will show you what it's like and you will have really good tickets for the show. I'll take care of you, we'll put it that way.
