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.

Ticket scalping got easier after they started wristbands... more people... more locations, no more overnighters, pool the bands from each location according to the random number they always pulled... and they still usually had the 8 tick per person limit... If you feel like dealing with the stress, their is still a lot of money there...
