i just think that if you push it towards show time and the touts have some left you can crack a deal right there. Your just taking a gamble on them actually notb having sold out on the day.
I was outside Bruce Springsteen in 2006 and they were selling £60 tickets for £10. maybe even lower. But then again that was a cricket ground!!!
The problem I'd have with buying from a tout outside the venue would be knowing if the tickets were fake or not. I was there when some guy decked a tout outside the Astoria after he got refused entry with a ticket he'd bought off him...
I agree with what you are both saying, cheers guys. I just think because it's a small gig, it will be a lot of money but come 9pm when the show is underway, I may get lucky. Got to think long and hard though to whether I will go down on the day.
Rock on!!!!
Seen Pearl Jam 4 times in London, once in Manchester, as well as an Eddie show at Hammersmith.

If you're in London anyway, I don't see how you've got much to lose by giving it a go...

I'll definitely be trolling around the venue hoping for one at a reasonable price. Depends on how much Cider I've drunk as to how high I will go on the night. :roll:
I agree, I may do, but there will be so many other fans down there on the look out for tickets too. The touts can more or less name their price until show time - and how many will still be hanging around then?
Rock on!!!!

I'm down in Worthing and would need to take the train up... usually takes me a couple of hours in total. I'd say I'm on the border of whether it's worth it or not to travel ticketless :? Dunno what to do, my missus said it's a stupid idea.
There still seems to be a lot of people trying to sell these on ebay unsuccessfully at high prices, so I really see there being a good deal to be had on the day if anyone gets real desperate
Did you see the one from a 'TRUE FAN' wanting another true fan to be able to get to the gig?? At the moment £300 worth of 'true' fan....

2006, more like 2003 if it was outside a cricket ground! I saw him in Manchester in 2003 at the Old Trafford cricket ground, great show, and due to the cheapness of tickets on eBay went to London beforehand, saw the 2 gigs at Crystal Palace (shithole) for the total of £20!

she says it's stupid, you KNOW it's stupid, but still... there's that nagging feeling at the back of your mind saying but what if... and what if i don't...?
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?

Worth it though for Detroit Medley, Racing In The Street and Meeting > Jungleland.
I can't believe how long ago it is now either.

When you draw out the names/numbers later this week, may be a good idea to do two or three reserves just in case. If the winner of the ticket somehow gets one, it can go to the next person and so on.
I know the odds of this are about as likely as finding a happy Parisian but you never know.
Rock on!!!!

I've been offered 2 tickets from someone on facebook (not a friend, just someone from a Pearl Jam group). He wants £100 each which I'm happy to pay but I'm thinking it's just too good to be true. Apparantly they are
e-tickets from ticketweb. He's offering to show me email confirmation plus his ID but surely he could print the email off over and over again and be selling them to loads of different people. I don't know what to do! Terrified of losing £200 but more terrified of missing the show! Advice please!!
Underneath this smile lies everything........... all my hopes, anger, pride and shame
Brilliant! Thank you soooo much. Another ticket added at the 11th hour.
I appreciate this so much, however I'm sure whoever ends up with your ticket will appreciate this generous offer more than I do!
EDIT - I have alphabetised and number those of you still in the draw. There are now two tickets available thanks to IR257328's offer. So we will draw two numbers from the national lottery draw this evening. One for ilockyers ticket, and one for IR257328's
To clarify, here is how the tickets will be drawn tonight....
The list of those still wanting tickets is down to 41. At 10.35-45 tonight, there will be a National Lottery draw on BBC 1. We will use the first number drawn between 1-41 as the who ilockyer's ticket goes to, and the second number between 1-41, will be who gets IR257328's ticket.

This ok with everyone?
When do we find out what number we have?

I'm more excited about this than the chance of being a millionaire! Although if I won the actually lottery, I'd buy every ticket from every tout and give them out to all of you guys!

I thought the exact same thing when I played the lottery last week, unfortunately I didn't get a single number! Anyway, good luck guys!
I played the national lottery on Fri for the simple hope that I would win something and be able to buy up a load of tickets for us! Can you believe it? I bought one of those lucky dip ones and the numbers on it were my boyfriend's birthday!! I felt sure I would win something but no, I got sod all :-))))
Seriously, are Pearl Jam fans just unlucky or what!!

It is possible I guess that its not the touts creating the fakes, its people who hate them who target them with spares that are fakes

Thanks Ames. I want to say good luck to everyone but given there is only one spare I'm hoping all the luck goes my way!
