Win Butler of Arcade Fire let me into a sold-out show in Dublin's Olympia (tiny tiny venue) when he realised that loads of fans didn't get tickets because of a massive cock-up by the ticket agent.

It was amazing. He could not have been nicer, there were about 4/5 of us hanging around the stage entrance and he came out to see what was going on. Then let us into the venue but stayed talking to us for ages and took photos and signed stuff for us. Such a gent!
