PEARL FUCKING JAM. Probably the only shows I´ll attend in my life. And if i could, would definitely travel again and if i could, would try to catch more than JUST 4 shows.
YES..... THIS WAS 10000000000000000000000000% the case.J_LAWN wrote:I did not start this thread out of nastiness or to diss any one on this board. I signed my original message on this topic "with respect", meaning I respect all of your decisions to go to multiple shows and travel to see the band.
That being said, I hoped for the same respect from you. Thanks to everyone who gave me tips for how to score tickets for next time but to those who were not so kind to me, your comments were unnecessary.
I guess my biggest gripe here is how i purchased a TC membership to avoid what happened last year (me scrambling for tickets last second on ticketmaster). I was under the impression that if I bought a membership i would be guaranteed the opportunity to purchase tickets before the public on-sale and this was clearly not the case. The point where i really became upset however was yesterday afternoon when i called the venue for friday and they told me that "absolutely no more tickets would be released".
Here's to next tour i guess

please explain how you not having money, not having time to check your email, not having internet access, the power being out, you having class, you having to work, your cat being sick, you having a business meeting, you oversleeping, you being hungover, your mouse not working, or you having to use the bathroom when tickets went on sale precluded you from the OPPORTUNITY to buy tickets when the pre-sale began.
the opportunity was there. you did not take advantage. if you think people are being harsh, wait til this same situation happens with something that REALLY matters. if an employer calls you some day to offer you a job and you fail to check your voicemail for a week, they wont have any sympathy for you. dont blame others or expect others to step aside for your benefit in this world. it wont get you anywhere.

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.

I try to attend about 3-5 shows per tour. I have a far worse Stones habit (usually 20 shows per tour), but I am trying to incorporate more business trips around PJ's tour.

During a Stones Tour, are the sets always pretty much the same?
I've seen a couple shows, but I resisted going back to back, at the time cause I thought I had read that they only flip flopped one song every other show or two?
If that is the case what is the draw to see so many shows?

Depends on what City they are in. When they are in cities they've played several times (Chicago, NYC, Boston, Vegas, etc) you will see about 4-7 songs swapped out each night. Keith Richards rotates his two songs quite a bit and they'll rotate a few rarities in early in the set and on the B stage (ie Sway, Live with Me, Monkey Man, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, etc)
They are not even close to what PJ does with their sets, but they do switch it up a bit. In all of the tours I've attended multiple shows, I've never seen an exact repeat set and I've been to 75-100 shows.

well yes, it does guarantee you the oppertunity to purchase tickets before the general public
it does not guarantee you getting tickets
remember... there are always tickets. and you will not have to pay an arm and a leg for them.
