We already have 2 tix for this show, but now we can bring a couple of friends. I won a pair of tix to one of the Continental shows on the last tour from the same radio station, and we were able to bring a couple of friends who had never seen PJ, so it was a GREAT experience for everyone. This day just got a LOT better!!!.

    How do radio station and VIP tickets compare for a Pearl Jam tour to other bands. My understanding is other bands will put VIP/radio promo tickets in the first few rows. I'm guessing Pearl Jam does it differently, and they'll be behind the fan club tickets.

    Is my guess correct?

    And this particular radio station doesn't necessarily get tix in the first few rows, don't get your hopes up too high.

    Yes, you are 100% correct, but the ironic thing is that depending on the venue, that can actually be a GOOD thing. When I won the tix to the Continental show, the seats were first row, directly in front of the stage, dead center in the first level. My girl and I had floor seats through my 10c membership, but we couldn't see a damn thing, so we went back and sat with our two friends, and we got to hear AND see the whole show. Strange how things work...

    Kristin from Warren.
    And like I said, I've already won a pair through this station, and they were GREAT. Besides, it's a sold-out show, and we still have our 10c tix.

    Thanks, bro. We're bringing my brother who is a fan, but chose to sit out this tour because of the ticket prices, so it's nice that we could do this for him.

    Thought so... I've heard them running the call in contest when they play three Pearl Jam songs in a row. I already have tickets to the shows, but I'm enjoying getting to here the extra dose of PJ while the contest is running.

    That station has changed a lot from years ago when it was a pretty small operation running out of a small house near where I work. Me and some of the guys I work with got friendly with one of the overnight DJ's about 7 or 8 years ago and used to get to hang out at the station during her shift. I was always amazed that they were basically broadcasting an FM radio station from a converted bedroom in a house. The setup was literally a cd player and microphone sitting on an old desk. The station has changed a lot since the sold out to a bigger company and not for the better. But its still better than most of the crap on the air around here.
