Hard Core Fans Get IN HERE!!!

Kevin Wilson

Do you travel 100s of miles to see PJ?
Does it not matter where they tour you are bound to make at least 1 or 2 shows on that tour?(Overseas excluded)
Do you not complain about the way tickets are sold?


So what type of fan are you? What have you done in order to see the band?

ryanrunning

flew from dayton ohio to philly to see them

doesnt sound like much, but when a freshman in college with no income it adds up

i've given thousands of glory hole BJ's to pay for my Pearl Jam obsession.

kidding. i've traveled far and wide to see them coming up on 20 times.

I'll travel...Vegas to Columbus....but, apparently, some big city types on the East Coast would rather not. Travel. that is. :wtf:

-The farthest I've driven to see PJ is Scranton to Chicago.
-I'll make 1 or two shows anywhere on the east coast but I wouldn't travel to the west coast or Europe.
-I complain about the website's server during the ticket sales. The system is otherwise fine.

I'm from Philly, so you can see exactly where I've seen them in my signature.

east coast people are close-minded idiots who believe there is nothing worth seeing outside of their shit-hole neighborhood.

nostackedvinyl

drove from Maine to Massachusetts (about 500 miles round trip) twice in three days to catch both shows in 08. i'd fuckin do it all over again too (even after not getting 10c tickets)

im disqualified because i sometimes think the crowd doesnt match the bands intensity (um last 4 spectrum shows)

I'm about an hour outside of Toronto and since 2003, I've seen them 3 times in Toronto. I've seen them 12 times in total so far (Columbus and Noblesville to be added this year); 6 of those times within Canada's border. Me and my friend travel a lot to go see them play. It's like a mini-vacation for us. We try and pick cities/states we haven't been to within reasonable driving distance of course. The furthest we've driven to would be Washington, DC.

rival.

2000 tour: after me and a bunch of friends graduated high school, we drove from north jersey to VA beach to see them play. i was 17 at the time, my friends were 18. we were pretty out of our league at the time. we left north jersey at like midnight, hit the chesapeake bay bridge at sunrise, and it was amazing.

stayed in VA for the week smoking and drinking non stop... loving life, and loving pearl jam.

CServant

We're road trippin' from Denver to Buffalo with stops at the cities they're playing in between. The trip is actually broken up nice getting there, but coming back... I'm glad to have a j-o-b that allows me the option!

1995 drove from NW ohio to chicago twice . once to buy the tickets . cause u had to call from the area code of the venue . and then drive to the show . .

2009 drove to Tennessee to see EV. at the Ryman . From NW Ohio

2004 drove from northern Michigan to Toledo Ohio . back to Grand Rapids Michigan .

Kevin Wilson

Drove to DC from Indiana. 10 hr ride!!! There's nothing like traveling and seeing new places when PJ is involved!! Also been to Cleveland,Toledo,Chicago,Lexington,Knoxville and probably a few more places I can't think of right now!!

no, i think that means you are hardcore. i know everybody has the right to enjoy the show how they wish, but i truly dislike seeing supposed fan club members standing there like zombies. the band has said several times that they feed off the energy of the crowd, so why not give so we can get, you know? more crowd energy = more band energy = fucking fantastic set list and performance, and overall experience.

dimitrispearljam

After 2010 Europe tour I will have seen the band 17 times...only 1 of 17 is in my country..
but i cant put label in a fan by that...

I'm with ya! I live in FL so I've learned to do what I have to do. Been to Seattle twice and Oakland once; all others have been within driving distance. And since I'm not trying for the NE shows I've never had a problem with tickets.

Kaje

Drove from Las Vegas to Seattle, then the Gorge to see them. About 24 hour drive each way...and yes it was just to see them (even though we made a mini 4 day vacation out of it)
