Janet Jackson dropped by The View today to surprise co-host Sherri Shepherd with a pair of tickets to her upcoming tour.
Watch it unfold:
What would you do for Janet tickets? And if Miss Jackson's not your thing, what would you do (or what have you done) to nab tickets to see your favorite artist perform?
Well, that settles it. I'm starting my own daytime talk show. They get all the good stuff.
I camped out for Prince tickets during the "Purple Rain," but it was springtime --no big deal. During a Chicago December, I camped out for REO Speedwagon (my sister thought the guitar player was cute).
