Pearl Jam

Raliegh, Columbia and Lexington for me.

I'm thinking Raleigh, Columbia, and Philly.  Cameron.... I joined around the same time as you, and it would be cool to sit near another big MMJ-PJ fan.  It's great that there is so much overlap between MMJ and PJ fans.  I discovered MMJ when they opened for PJ in '06 and haven't been able to get enough MMJ since.

I'm 139,106. Saw two of the PJ/MMJ shows. It was a month after my wedding and honeymoon so we couldn't afford it but I couldn't miss it.

Scored MSG might 2 reserved.  Feeling pretty good about being in the building for that one.

Hoping to get info on Fenway/Wrigley the end of this week or early next week.  Public on sale was rumored to go on sale Feb 12, so we have to hear something soon.

I'll be trying my hardest to get any sort of MSG ticket tomorrow.  Wish me luck

I can't believe tickets are $71 and I am not sure if that includes fees

[oistheone]

Good luck to everyone tomorrow! Ticketmaster has been very cruel to me for high-profile shows these last few weeks, so I'm hoping my luck turns! Trying for two shows (Toronto and Lexington) -- so I blocked off the hour at work and made sure I've got four computers and my phone at my disposal. LORD DON'T FAIL ME NOW!

Can you not believe it because it's too expensive?  That price doesn't include fees.  I got some fan club tix and it came to about $80 or $86 each depending on which city.  That's about what Tool and Radiohead charge.  I think that's a very reasonable price for a band of that caliber especially since PJ routinely plays almost three hour shows.  I think PJ could charge more if they wanted.   

Good luck Murph and oistheone.  It's not just you....TM is typically cruel.

[pjfan04101]

Yeah, $71 is incredibly cheap for a band of PJ's caliber.  And like you said, 3hr, 30+ song shows are the norm for them.

Good luck everyone tomorrow! Lots of shows going on sale at the same time.  It's gonna be crazy.

Totally agree Apr. That price with fees is very reasonable for a band of that caliber.

I'm still smarting from Bruce tix going up again. He kept his tix under $100 for the longest time but charged the same for all tix. Enough people complained over the years and wanted tier pricing that now his arena shows have that. Problem is the top tier and majority of tix now are $150 face + fees.    His shows still run 3:15-3:30 and over 30 tunes, so compared to a Broadway play or similar it's worth it but I'm still bummed to be paying $175 a ticket when all is said and done.

PJ tix sound like a bargain to me.

my fan clup pairs were all $159, which seems cheap to me for where they'll be.  seems a little high if you're up in the rafters.

[walterfredo]

I have a pair in my cart for the hampton coliseum.  $166.70 for the pair.  anyone want 'em?

would need you to paypal me today

released them back into the wild

[oistheone]

What a wild fuckin' ride.

As expected, completely shut out for every show I attempted, right at noon. Fuck.

At 12:30, miraculously a pair of 1st row side-view seats to the Lexington show popped up. SWEET!

At 12:34, the Pearl Jam gods smiled down upon me as they secretly created a 2nd Toronto show. For once, I had complete pick of the litter. G-FUCKIN-A baby!!!

Now someone get me to April!!

[parkervb]

only BS tickets available for Hampton

[oistheone]

Some lucky bastard on StubHub just got a pair of Lexington pit tickets for $50 each. Think someone forgot to add a zero when they were listing. What a score!!

[LBSUNFLWR]

we got upper level for Lexington. oh well. took what we could get..

[slappymoe]

been waiting for 2 1/2 hours.   little ticket thingy keeps scrolling, "finding the perfect verified option."  "your wait time is less than 1 minute."

I know I should just give up, but I can't.  why doesn't it just tell me "no tickets available" or something? 

leaving work at 3:30, guess i'll wait another hour.

That is the opposite of cruel.  I've never heard of such luck.

I went on right at 10 and pulled a pair way in the upper level for MSG.   I was only going to buy them if the seats were really good. I know I contributed to clogging up the system but couldn't help wanting to see just how taxing TM would be and to see if I could get lucky.  The Ten Club lottery is fair and a time saver.

Good luck slappymore.... I hope your patience pays off!

[Murph]

Shut out like everyone else I know.  Trying to get tickets to events like these is getting more and more disheartening.  It's fucking criminal

Sorry man,  I agree, something needs to change.
