do you guys really need to go to so many shows on this tour?

J_LAWN

Honestly now. I'm seeing how a lot of you are going to 5, 7, 9 or in some cases, even more shows on this tour. I understand how much you love the band and your "need" to see them but aren't you being a bit selfish? I have been trying so hard since pre-sale went on to get tickets for toronto but i have had no luck. It is not feasible for me to travel to Vancouver or chicago (both shows i could of gotten tickets to), yet there are many tc members traveling miles and miles to see these and many other shows.

I simply want tickets to one show (as do many others, both tc and non tc) that is relatively close to me. I don't have much money to travel far, or even keep my tc membership if this is going to be the case with tickets everytime.

I just wish my fellow TC members would be a bit more considerate of others before gobbling up all the pre sale tickets to several shows.

With respect,
jeff

Yes.

i suggest you take up this matter with the fan club. not the fans on the board. the 10c allows us to buy as many shows as we want to attend.

just dave

i second this, i couldn't get tickets to toronto

friggin americans stay away! (jokes)

Jeff,
If you were from the Philly area, I'd understand where you're coming from. Toronto, however, was up for pre-sale for at least a day and a half... it was by no means a hard 10C pre-sale. If I had an extra, I'd help you out, but all I can do is wish you the best of luck finding yourself a ticket!

I found this line ironic

norm

need to? no

want to? yes

pearl jam puts on the number of shows that they do because they know fans will go to (and travel for) multiple shows

Years ago, at the age of 15, I started on a secret plot so that I could be in control to see as many shows as I pleased.

Code named: Got a Job.

Yes, I geared it to my future schedule and financial needs. I think that is called Platter....no......placing....no.....pilfering....no......PLANNING.

There is NOTHING in my list of hobbies that I look forward to more than seeing a tour announcement with dates in cities I have yet to experience and being able to enact my secret plan so that I can go to as many new places and see my favorite band perform and react to the environment and the crowds in those new cities. I get it though.....I squeezed someone out of the Berlin show in 2000, and probably totally fucked over someone at MSG.

NOt sure how else to say this. Don't hate the player?????? Does that fit here???

Finally...where there is a will, there is a way. HAvent you heard Eddie say one something like "not sure how you guys do this, but whether you begged, borrowed or stole to be here, we appreciate you coming"........

I can help you start on a similar secret plan if you like??? Send me 50 bucks and I will repeat this email to you...

Wouldn't you go see your favorite band every chance you get?
It's what you call a dedicated fan.

We should ask 10C to add a relationship question to the sign up form. Are you married to a fellow 10c member? If yes and female, they need our approval.




Oh, cmon....Im just joking. If that offended you maybe your bra is too tight.... JUST JOKING JUST JOKING JUST JOKING....(braces for the hit)

Hold on, I have sooooo many extra Pearl Jam tickets just sitting around.... you can use some to wipe it up. Here, use this United airline ticket to Chicago....I dont need it.......No, not soft enough? Hmmm... Money isnt absorbent enough. Out of ideas....

As I recall, Toronto was up for quite awhile. Like much more than an entire day.

Yeah I can where you're coming with having difficulty to pay for travel in a time of recession. I've traveled before the economy was so tough, but have been staying home to to see PJ the last year, but that's what makes these PJ fans so special, this may be vacation for some people that are seeing them so many times, and I could not think of a better way to spend a vacation than a PJ concert.

arq

is tough but that's the way it is, I'm going to just one show maybe 2 if I'm lucky but it is what it is.

Zoso

I'm only going to 3 shows so I guess I'm off the hook with the OP But seriously it's luck to who get tickets to each show. Some people can afford to travel and good for them. I have travelled many times to se a PJ show and will again. It's the nature of Pearl Jam fans.
