    Aww man, u mean I can't bring him to the show? :-D
  • Thanks guys. I still feel guilty though...

    Don't you really do deserve it.
  • Don't worry Ames, no one's begrudging you the ticket, you deserve it.

    Just in the slimmest hope that other than the new lottery, anyone still has any spares (i too didn't see the thread about this new lottery) i still nedd 2 tickets, happy to give anyone a lift from Bournemouth or anywhere really, just getting a little desperate now. :?

    Here's a suggestion for how the lottery could work, if I read right previously that there's now 45 people after the ticket, how about allocating everyone who wants a ticket a number between 1 and 45, either based on the order their requests appear on the list or by alphabetical order by username, and the first number to be drawn in the UK lottery that is between 1 and 45 determine the winner?

    There's been talk of a video'd lottery for this and it just seems much simpler, number wise, if we do something like this. The numbers would all be allocated and it would then be a totally independent drawing of the number.

    Just a thought like!

    Well to say you haven't got a ticket, standing outside Walkabout asking for tickets with a facehugger mask on could cause problems!
    :D Rock on!!!! :D
    Seen Pearl Jam 4 times in London, once in Manchester, as well as an Eddie show at Hammersmith.
  • LOL! But might scare of the touts though!! Hopefully they will drop all their tickets on the way :-) :-) :-)

    p.s he's a real size plush and poseable facehugger :-) So cute!

    Ah shit I forgot to update here that i got real lucky and got a ticket for the show.

    A kind person has helped me out at face......kinda restores all faith in the human race generally.

    So my gain is a small gain here in that I'm one less number to worry about.

    Good luck to all in the running, and do scrub me off the list.

    Thanks Ames also for everyting you did here, when the chips were down this thread gave me that little bit of hope also

    as you know I begged and begged and begged everywhere I know.....and it came off

    Blackredyellow.com
    here
    pjcollectors.com
    i contacted every person selling on ebay (got one reasonable offer of £125 tier 3)

    and then struck gold, through someone who's husband took pity on me as a non fan and seeing how nuts i am he's let me go in his place.

    I know i'm lucky, i pinch myself to make sure its real

    I sincerely hope you can get in too....i can see the effort you have put in, and although it feels like you are boxing in the dark, keep plugging away and i'm sure something will come up...good luck

    Could work yeah! Not a bad idea. When does the national lottery get drawn again?

    Just to let everyone know, I have sorted out with a ticket arrangement with satansbed. So I will take his ticket. This leaves ilockyer's ticket as the one that will be assigned randomly.

    Ok cool. If everyone agrees I'll just number those left on the list on Wednesday night before the draw. Then once the numbers are drawn the first number between 1 and forty-something will be the number of the person on the list to be assigned with ilockyer's ticket.

    Sound good? Good idea ilockyer!

    EDIT to say I'm going to visit my girlfriend for tonight and tomorrow, but I'll be back before 9pm on Wednesday, so I'll have time to add/remove more from the list and number you all before the draw.

    I'll still have some internet access, but won't be on as much for the next 24 hours or so.

  • LOL, I guess you are allowed a day off, AD ;)
  • Good idea about the lottery draw, gets my vote.

    Ames - on the first post of this thread it says...

    bold name = confirmed that they are still in need of a ticket after the general sale.

    but also...

    Anyone who has not been confirmed, and is therefore in bold on the list, by Wednesday 29th will be remved

    So I don't know whether I should be bold or not, but either way I definitely DO need a ticket! :mrgreen:

    Fanku :) Yes, apart from Pearl Jam I have a little fondness for the cute little HR Giger aliens in all their guises although facehugger is my fave :-)
  • Hmm. At the last count - 26 tickets on Ebay....that's 26 Pearl Jam fans who could be going if touts weren't allowed to practice...

    Number lottery is good for me. Be like doing the Grand National sweepstake, but with less chance of winning!

    I am still in. Remember I will buy you mucho beer if you happen to pull my name out of the hat!

    It's such a shame that the majority of us can't go. I don't know how much I am prepared to pay for a ticket should I go down on the day. I am currently out of work but this is too good a chance.

    Fingers crossed people.
    :D Rock on!!!! :D

    26 Pearl Jam fans will still eventually be going, it's just that they'll have been completely ripped off along the way.

    I counted 71 tickets up for sale on seatwave this morning. Great, except unfortunately prices ranged from £240-£789 :shock:
    If I knew where it was, I would take you there...

    Yeah, kinda know how you feel. I am a freelancer so half of those Ebay / tout costs are nearly what I earn in a month at the mo! Hmm - paying bills / eating vs seeing PJ in a small venue...hmm....rationale right out of the window! ;-)

    71 tickets + 26 on Ebay plus how many have already been sold by touts / Double8/viagogo/seatwave? = several hundred out of 1500/2000 tickets to touts = a disgrace...
