Why the Beacon is going to be a let down
Let me start off by saying that I am still looking for an affordable ticket and plan on being there. I just got off the phone with Lucy and there are still plenty of $2,500 tickets available. I also have a friend that is going with his work tickets (8 of them) and he said the people with him will know 3 songs from Ten and be on their Blackberries the rest of the concert. I think the majority of the board will be rocking out in the balcony but not sure that the band will be putting on their usual performance with a ton of lame and bored people sitting in their seats front and center. Obviously just my opinion and with that being said I plan on being there and hope I'm wrong. Still looking for a ticket.

I dont see how going to a PJ show at a 3000 seat venue could be a letdown.
No matter who is there.
A show like that will never be repeated (unless you're watching the DVD).

1 major difference, Borgata and HOB was general admission, most people on this board will not be in the Orchestra level. If price wasn't a factor unless it was first 5 rows I'd prefer to be up in the balcony with the majority of this board.

That's the spirit, Mike should nail picks at all of them. All I'm saying is that we all know how much the band feeds off the crowd's energy and I'm sure there will be plenty of energy, just not front and center (I apologize to anyone on this board who may have splurged on the $2,500 seats, obviously my comments are not directed at you but you will be in the minority in the orchestra)
it might be a greatest hits show
but it kcufing PEARL JAM @ THE BEACON..... PERIOD
YOU'RE FROM JERSEY ,,u should know about the venue
Hope I'm wrong though. Maybe it'd be in the best interest of the show to slow it up and go Benaroya part II.

unless of course someone wants to buy me a show ticket and a plane ticket
The only Pearl Jam show that was ever a big letdown for me was Cincinnati 2003. Every other one was awesome.
Yes, which could actually be good for some people. Perhaps they let some early balcony birds seep through to the bottom?

you are right, Robin Hood will probably just give these tickets away to their larger donors for free, but they won't be appreciated. I am not a huge Allman fan but I sat on the side of the stage at a show at the Beacon 5 years ago and it was amazing, great venue. I hope this concert is awesome and I am wrong since I do plan on being there.
i know you're gonna get in,,u deserve to
and you'll be singing a different tune once the lights go out
When is this show, before or after MSG? If it's before, that's really not cool to the MSG attendees to expel energy on the "fancy people" that can afford to donate.
How much were these tickets? $2500 for orchestra and $250 for balcony?
One last question: Will they be hanging the Verizon text message screens on the Beacon stage?

I'd have to agree with that. When I saw they were playing there I couldn't believe it. Great theatre for a show...especially them!
crap, I can't think about it and must stop reading this thread...
