    Yeah been a fan since forever myself and only seen 'em once, they don't come here very much and do too many shows just a few this year. Those bloody tickets fly off the shelf too man.
    Are you going to the show if you get ticket?

    been a fan for over half my life and only seen em once. when i was a teenage girl i didn't have posters of new kids or the coreys. i had my bedroom walls plastered with long haired sweaty men. much to my mother's delight.

    Only you can prevent forrest fires and only you can decide if your a "real fan" or not.

    Can't say what makes a "Real Fan", but the "Unreal Fans" are the one's that ask if Kurt Cobain is still the singer.... :o

    You can't be a real fan unless you have a million zillion posters.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    Ummm any "real fan" would know that they haven't played 30 million shows. That's like, impossible.

    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    I've been to 4 shows in England only. My boyfriend has been to 11 shows in 8 different countries... We're both obsessed with Pearl Jam but also appreciate that our love for them is equal to each others.

    I have friends who've seen PJ scary number of times but they're no more 'real fans' than the one friend of mine who actually introduced me to the band many moons ago... he's only seen them twice.

    'Real fans' are people who love the music. IMO.
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    why does it have to be "bragging". some people go to a lot of shows and volunteer this information in conversation.
    i have a paper here that entitles me to fast track status

    exactly, none of the other crap matters, and this is from someone who has seen them an embarrasingly number of times :D

    everyone's circumstances are different, I'm sure we would all love to see them as often as possible, but some have family repsonsibilities, some it may be a location thing, could be anything, doesn't make you any less of a fan

    if you love the music, that makes you a "real" fan

    It's actually the number of times that you start a thread to bitch about stuff that defines how "real" you are! :lol:

    Amount of shows attended or posters owned is only a testament to how much free time and money you have and has no bearing on how much of a fan you are.

    I am sure there are plenty of huge fans that have never had the opportunity to get to a show or buy a poster.

    I am sure there are plenty of Doors fans here on this board. How many Doors shows have you Doors fans been to? Pick up any tour posters at any of those shows?

    you can't be a real fan unless you can brag about how many bootlegs or t-shirts you own :lol::lol::lol:

    i've been a fan since the beginning and only managed to see them 6 times. 1992, 1995 x2, 2000, 2003 and 2009, so they've at least been spread out and i've seen how they've developed from 92-2009.

    and to the origional poster i work nightshift over the weekend, so don't feel too bad.

    No, it just means you have money going to all those shows. I would love to go seem them a million times all around the world. Pearl Jam is the greatest thing in the world to me, but I don't have that kind of money. I'd love to buy everything that Pearl Jam has to offer again I don't have that kind of money, but I do have whats most important the music to listen to.
