Beacon open bar???

edited July 2008 in The Porch
So I have tickets to this tomorrow night... can't wait. I bought them directly through Robin Hood. From what I'm reading people post and what I've seen people list on ebay, people are claiming it's open bar as well as a free shirt and poster.

Nobody has told me this and it's not written in the included letter with the tickets. Therefore... why do we think there's an open bar and free shirt/poster??? Thanks!

    Yes, we do get an open bar for sure. All drinks in the venue will be free. However, I have heard nothing of a T-shirt and poster.

    Where did you hear this? I'm not doubting you or anything, it's just I haven't see it written anywhere.

    I have the original announcement of the event from Robin Hood that specifically says "All ticket levels include an Open Bar". That's good enough for me.

    Damn, that's good news. They might end up losing money with some rabid PJ fans in the house.

    This is very true. Not to mention the many times I have been to the Beacon when booze is not free, it's still a disaster. It gets very cramped waiting in line for drinks there. Too bad doors don't open til 8.

    there will be no merch sold at the beacon tonight by the band. Robinhood will be giving out an order form for a CD and shirt. They are not giving posters.

    I called Lucy.

    That is not information I was given, sorry

    My guess is that it will be the official boot or robinhood is going to do one themselves..I'm sure it will be pricey either way.

    Kind of sucks that there is not a poster though.. I was hoping for the Klausen image that was used in the promo for this event.

    That's what I'd be thinking if I was going. The chance to see Pearl Jam in a venue like this is the cool part. Have a blast!

    i think that's why the doors aren't opening till 8...

    i heard that the last 2 robinhood rocks concerts there was a bunch of free stuff given out - tshirts, dvds, posters, etc...

    i called robinhood about it today, they said they'll be some freebies but she didn't give any specifics.
    it's funny when things change so much, it's all state of mind...

    Hey...if the order forms for the t-shirts are something that you don't have to turn in right away, will SOMEONE please let me add one to their order?!? I will (of course) pay the cost. I will also pay shipping on yours, too!

    Please, please, please!

    Just PM me if you would be open to this!

    Take care,
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

    Huh, open bar . . . I hope everyone wears their hip waders to avoid getting piss on their legs! The Beacon staff better make sure the floor drains are not clogged ;-)

    I find it strange that they're not giving any concrete details about whats being given out. Will the stuff just be waiting at our seats like the Rolling Stone charity Beacon show was? (rhetorical btw)

    If anyone that is going would be willing to order me a copy of the CD, please PM me with details! Haven't been able to snag a ticket and it looks hopeless at this point!
