I think the longest I paid people to sleep out was Paul Mccartney, 1 week. Eric Clapton was the second longest with 5 nights.

This was a long time ago before Ticket Master changed the rules and pretty much put an end to getting tickets this way. We'd always have rows 1 - 5 and each person I paid could get 8 tickets each. I'd stock up and sell them out of the news paper. Made a fucking KILLING doing this for a few years.

I did a similar thing when they switched over to wristbands.
