| Our original seats, Section 324 |
Oprah! No matter that we were half a block from the stage and would probably spend most of the day watching the jumbotron. We were going to see Oprah! We had bought tickets more than a month ago and finally, the big day had arrived.
We hadn't been sitting in our seats in Row 324 for more than five minutes when an usher approached.
"Would you like to move closer to the stage?" she asked. "Oprah has just released some tickets and they are much closer to the stage."
"How much would it cost?" I asked. The seats we currently had, even as high as they were, had already cost more than $200 apiece.
"Nothing," she said. "The seats are empty. You can just take these tickets and move down there."
Kathy and I just looked at each other. We had the opportunity to move from seats that were about ten rows from the top of the theater to seats that were about ten rows from the stage? A day doesn't start out much better than that!
And only got better!

What a fabulous experience! I’d love to hear that vision setting exercise!
Oh my goodness, this sounds like such a special day and how wonderful you were able to move closer!
Oh wow! I am so happy for you, Carol. I'm looking forward to more posts about this incredible experience. I love that Gayle and Oprah shared their friendship.
What an extraordinary experience! Kathleen Sokolowski recently went and shared about her experience on Facebook. Looks like a fabulous opportunity to learn from Oprah (& friends) up close.
This sounds amazing! What a lovely surprise to get closer tickets!
