You know what, you think the way you do. But as already said, this thread doesn't matter and when it comes to the principle of the matter and the 'spreading of the wealth'.... check out what happens when you google Soundgarden Vic Theatre... These things are not secret, they are not for the few 'in the know'. Common knowledge. Those that read stuff like this and aren't interested, they don't sign up - no loss. Those that, for some reason, have a life and can't follow bands but are fans and love to see them, and notice such an announcement, they register to have a chance to see a band they like. I don't see a problem with this.
But why would someone randomly google "Soundgarden Vic Theatre"? How does that make sense? And why would the use google UK? If it is such common knowledge, then why even post it here and clutter up the PJ board?
Your thinly veiled attempt to say I have no life is a miserable fail. Chances are a huge PJ fan like me would hear that Soundgarden was reuniting. It took me all of 30 seconds to google their website and sign up for the mailing list. That takes much less time than using google UK to google "Soundgarden" on a daily basis.
maybe they will do it like the Seattle show. No tickets, just show up with your ID.[/quote]
Even with that tho... if a scalper wants to he/she can put it up on ebay with the stipulation that the buyer must meet them at the show and stand in line with them... that extra ticket (assuming they come in pairs) is where the trouble happens... i saw people making lots o' money off the extra and not even going to the show :shock:
this lotto system seems a hell of alot better than the mad rush ticket sale we had here tho[/quote]
if you win a chance to buy tickets you have to register both persons' names. So I think scalping will be kept to a minimum.

ah... didnt catch that... hopefully scalpers read the fine print before trying anything funny... I'd hate for a ton of tickets to be wasted the day of the concert
and there WILL be scalpers now that lolla has announced this to every tom, dick, and harry :x
call me a hypocrite for all the "share the wealth" shit i said before... but this is just overboard!!!

Look... I googled this to show you that there are a number of sites that have reported the gig AND the process for the chance of obtaining tickets. Thus the fact that is was no secret. And why did I link to a search on google UK? Because I'm in the UK and that's what it defaulted to. No use arguing on semantics. No use arguing about the widespread knowledge of this gig. Because it is widespread. Will that 'dilute' immensely your chances of having your name picked and fighting the internet for tickets? Probably not. Mass email has been sent to those attending Lolla... do you think many Lady Gaga fans will all of a sudden think they MUST see Soundgarden and therefore MUST register? If one is not interested beforehand, one will not pursue this. On the other hand, if one is interested and found out about the gig in this manner - fair enough and good luck to him/her.
Soundgarden are playing a cool venue, they're playing Lolla and hopefully after we can all hope for news of a 'full' tour. Pure excitement. More chances to see them. Let's be happy.
Plus, it's not like news like this can be kept a "secret" nowadays... Facebook (even the Pearl Jam fansite posted it in their status update), Twitter, anyone? It's all over the internet (hell, even on Soundgarden's official site), so anyone that has even the remotest interest in it will not have to come to a Pearl Jam forum to get hold of the news. So get over it.

the minute i got this email from soundgarden i saw pearl jam had the email info in their status update on facebook. i'm willing to bet more people saw this email from pearl jam status update then people did on soundgarden mailing list.
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight

But you still miss the point, anyone who is going to google soundgarden daily, looking for a concert announcement, would have surely signed up for their mailing list. And if they are too stupid to do that, then they deserve to miss it! The other thing that you seem to miss, it's like 10% about diluting our chances, and like 90% why in the world do people do such stupid things (like post ticket buying tips to people they compete with)? So basically everything you post is not relevant.
I just wanted you to admit you were in the UK. Thanks for getting involved in our affairs! I'll remember that next time PJ is playing a small club show in London.

Just drop it. You're just being petty. Plenty of 'non-UK' people were at the small shows in London. Do we complain? No! If you have a grand laying about for flights and hotels to attend a two hour gig, all the best to you! 'getting involved in your affairs'... that's funny Anyway, you really don't seem to understand what I post and you are missing the point, so let's just leave it at this... OK? :roll:

Sigh... I've been trying to get this dropped since my first post! You're the one who keeps getting involved in something that doesn't concern you, a concert in another country announced a week in advance. (and who doesn't have a life?) I understand everything you post, it's just completely irrelevant and off topic. Thankfully you have dropped this, and we don't have to read any more posts from you!
Main Point: People are stupid to share information that would hurt their chances (or someone else's) at something. Advantages should be gained by hard work, innovation, seniority, etc. The playing field should not be artificially made "fair" to appease the lazy. Distant Secondary Point: It is fact that sharing this information has hurt more people than it has helped.
dude your on a stupid mailing list that's for free and didn't give people updates for months on end till this concert. seriously get over it already.
this email was on pearl jam's myspace bulletin and pearl jam's status update on facebook and hell of alot more people view them then this board. you don't seem to have a problem with those 2 posting this email.
BUMP

I find it funny that the soundgarden website talks baout ensuring only fans get the tickets...then it goes out to the entire world. I got an email from Live Nation about chicago concerts...it mentions the SG gig with the link on how to sign up.
I've decided that this show is NOT about actually putting on an intimate concert for fans....it's about publicity and getting a ton of people to sign up on their website.
I could use a little luck as well! Will book my plane ticket today if I win. Now, what I don't get, if I get the happy little email with the code, does that mean at 2pm I'm gauranteed tickets, or does it mean I'm still fighting for them? Probably won't get the email anyway, just curious.
So now I'm drivin the bus- Kramer

Yeah...yeah...I AM batman!!- Kramer

I think you'd be good to go.... If I win I have to change my flight. Small price to pay

From a post on the soundgarden board:
"I emailed them earlier in the week. They said the people picked would receive an email with a special link or code. Starting at 2pm you could purchase tickets. If you don't purchase the tickets by a certain time (at that time it was TBD) then the offer expires and someone else gets a chance...."
Stick waiting.... No one on the SG boards have heard anything.... So, I was checking over at the PJ boards to see if anyone had heard something yet....
I hope that they just haven't sent the emails out yet!!!!

I am doing the same thing! waiting here and the SG board to see if anyone hears anything! i cant take the suspense!!
Ed, I think the named people have to pick up the tix. I would have thought it's the same set up as 10CC. I guess someone can still pick up and sell both tix or sell the spare.
