Interested to see the list... now I know why Lurker was asking how much we'd pay, in points, for concerts!

Bummer, on an airplane when this goes live. If it's anything like the NCAA tickets, I'm screwed. Thanks to the OP for pointing out, though.
IMO, another great promo by SPG. Just requalified for PLAT this week, and loving every minute of it. OK, maybe not the part where I never sleep in my own bed.

Also, you and some others asked which bands would be available on the other thread, so SPG decided to tip their hand a bit and name the bands involved:
Coldplay
Elton John/Billy Joel
Jonas Brothers
Keith Urban
U2
Dave Matthews Band
Nickelback
No Doubt
Depeche Mode
The Fray
The cities where these concerts will be held will vary, but major markets like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles are included.

William, is it possible to generalize about the locations of these tickets in relation to the stage? For instance, with the Final 4 promotion, it's at least my impression that all or most of the tickets were in the "pretty darn good" range, but none equivalent to a first row or skybox, and none in "nosebleed land." Would that also characterize these tickets, or are they a random mix?

From the T&Cs, this may help some folks up in this area...
Limit one pair of tickets per member, except for the following, which have two sets of three tickets available:
Wantagh, NY
Nikon at Jones Beach Theater
Row OO 5–7 and Row PP 17–19.
Sounds as if this will be very similar to the NCAA promo's ticket delivery structure but with some minor improvements. "Physical tickets will be delivered a minimum of five (5) days prior to the event to the address entered upon reserving tickets. Signature will be required."
