The people I have tickets for right now are Randy & Kristi, Andy and Kenny. Also, it sounded like Nathan was buying an Edwards ticket from his previous comment, don't know if he went through with it before the Century ones became available, though.

If this were to work, I would need to do things in the following order: 1. Talk to Edwards and get them to agree to refund the tickets. 2. Go online and get the Century tickets (if they're still available) 3. Go to Edwards and return the original tickets. Putting step 2 in between 1 and 3 is very important, because I'm not going to take the chance of going to Edwards and giving the tickets back, then going online to find out that Century is sold out. Seeing as how that's a lot of work, and that I'm guessing Century may already be sold out (haven't checked), and the fact that I don't really care which theater I go to, I'm thinking I'll just stick with what I've got, unless one of the other people I got tickets for wants to go through all that trouble.
