    Agreed. By local, gotta start with those within a 2 mile radius. Then move out.

    I lived 0.4 miles or 1 block away from the venue, but I don't have that address registered with 10club. However, I do have Bab's address registered.

    So how many PJ fans will be in the She Bu Walkie vs Aussies. Think they can be outnumbered?

    don't know if they can out number them, but they can bring more class to the place than the aussies in there :lol:

    my guess is that you will find the usual suspects in The Green, instead of the walkie
    it's the prefect venue for queuing: cross the alley, you get to the O'Neill pub, buy your drink (asking for a plastic glass that they have anyway for the theatre upstairs), take it back to the queue.
    One does not have to chose between queuing and boozing at the pub, can do both at the same time :mrgreen:

    I'm not setting foot in the damn walkie though! I'm still pissed at them for charging us an entry fee at 10.15 only to chuck us out at 11! :evil:

    are you referring to Walkabout?

    As its against the law to say a bad word about those places in my lawbook

    any idea how long it would take to get to Euston from the venue ? Any chance of making a train at 11.50 pm (assuming the gig finishes around 11) ?

    Walkabout pubs are hopeless. they shut early and their beer is way over-priced... too much rugby and/or cricket on the "big screens"... they should sell big screens... thats all their advertising ever says

    "we have big screens!... oh and you can also buy over-priced beers... but we do have fucking giant screens!!!!"
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Can anyone help me out (not sure if i'm being a bit thick or what but here goes :oops: )... I've registered on the O2 site in case there's a chance for priority tickets with my hubby's mobile number, and I understand you need a passcode/keyword to buy these tickets, but how do you get the passcode...I've read some of the FAQ pages but not sure if I get how it works :oops:

    I'd be grateful if someone could explain it to me :)

    I was wondering about the keyword and passcode mentioned but it looks like you don't need it on the second link you posted, unless its on a screen further into the buying process....i'm sure all will become clear :oops:

    Thanks for responding

    Thanks to those of you that are busting a gut to get as much info as possible about the ticket situation, it is much appreciated.
    Shame we couldn't have had something official by now from the band. If 10 club were getting tickets, I'm sure we would have heard by now (hope I'm wrong).

    Maybe there are still ironing out the details.... The venue haven't put it up on their site either.

    It's good to see I'm not the only one going out of my mind waiting for these tickets. I have a feeling there's not going to be a 10c sale before the HMV sale. In my (limited) experience there's not always a 10c presale when the date is an "extra" date.

    Pre ordered from hmv just in case 10C have no tickets.
    What the fuck is this world?

    the first we heard of Astoria was when they sent an email saying we were to call them that very night to get ticekts, and the public sale was the very next morning..
    So I can still see a 10c sale on Monday.

    10 C has announced it, and a chance at some tickets.

    Do you live in the UK? Do you want to go gigging? We are pleased to announce an additional opportunity to see Pearl Jam live on their European Tour ... on August 11, 2009, the band will perform at the intimate Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, England and the Ten Club wants to give you a chance to attend.

    THIS PRE-SALE IS LIMITED TO UK AND IRELAND MEMBERS ONLY. Ten Club pre-sale tickets will be available online only at https://www.pearljam.com/max with a Visa or Mastercard. No phone, mail, or email orders.

    The Ten Club ticket pre-sale will start at 5pm UK local time (9am Pacific) on July 20th and end promptly at 8pm UK local time (12pm Pacific) on July 21st. You must be active as of July 15th, 2009 and your Ten Club address must reside in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) or Ireland to qualify.

    Ten Club tickets will be sold as a lottery purchase. You will make your ticket order, but this DOES NOT guarantee you will have tickets to the show. Your credit card will be authorized for the ticket order, but funds will not be collected unless your order is selected. To avoid having immediate funds withheld, we suggest NOT using a debit card for the ticket purchase.

    If your ticket order has been selected, your credit card will be charged. Once the pre-sale has ended, a computer-generated random selection process will choose the winning ticket orders and finalize the ticket purchase. You will be notified by email confirmation letting you know whether or not your ticket order was been selected. Confirmations will be sent shortly after the pre-sale has ended.

    By opting to purchase tickets, you agree to all Ten Club policies:

    - All ticket sales are final. No refunds, transfers or exchanges.
    - Two (2) tickets per member. No single tickets.
    - If your ticket order is selected, you are responsible for payment.
    - Tickets are not mailed in advance. Tickets are distributed at the venue on the day of the show.
    - The fan club member must collect the tickets with a valid photo identification.
    - Ten Club tickets are for general admission, standing room only.
    - Reselling of Ten Club tickets will result in cancellation of ticket purchase and revocation of all future ticket benefits.

    Questions about Ten Club tickets can be directed to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:tickets@tenclub.net">tickets@tenclub.net</a><!-- e --> or by calling 1-800-724-8038.

    In addition to the 10c pre-sale, HMV, the UK music retailer, wants to give you another chance to purchase tickets ... If you pre-order 'Backspacer' from www.hmv.com by 12 noon (UK local time) on the 20th July, customers will be delivered a link to an exclusive 48 hour pre-sale (July 21-22) for tickets to the SBE show. Fans who pre-order the HMV version of 'Backspacer' will also receive a limited-edition poster (while supplies last).

    Please note: This is an exclusive HMV ticket offer and is open to the public worldwide, but is not associated with Ten Club ticketing. The HMV pre-order of 'Backspacer' will be a different version than the Ten Club release. Questions regarding HMV pre-orders and tickets should be directed to www.hmv.com.

    Tickets go on general sale from www.hmv.com and the SBE box office on Thursday, July 23rd.

    Just received this and came to post :D

    Seems pretty fair in that we don't have to battle for the fastest internet connection etc stress at order time ... order and wait to see if we are the chosen ones :D

    *fingers crossed*
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Pretty cool for us in the UK... two chances at getting tickets via pre-sales... :D
    the lottery idea sounds like a good one.
    suppose we have to try that and the HMV one as well, seeing as we won't know the results of the 10C lottery until after the HMV one...? :roll:
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?
  • SoonForgotten2SoonForgotten2 Posts: 2,245
    In theory some of us could score a pair of tix from the HMV presale and then later find out that we also got a 10C pair.

    Interesting.
