    Question:

    While I already have tickets for tonight, did anyone luck out with late release tickets yesterday? If so, how - was it through Ticketmaster during the day or via the box office line pre-show? I only ask because I know a lot of people still trying to find their way in the door and want to know what their best option is. Right now I've heard no mention of anyone finding anything online through TM yesterday, but there seemed to be a fair number of people who ended up with something from the box office line (somehow).

    Your best bet is to get to the Beacon early and wait on the drop line. I know tickets were released and once you bought them you had to go straight in the Beacon. I am not sure how many tickets were released but I do know the people I spoke to that were lucky enough to get tickets through the drop line ended up with orchestra seats. Good luck to all the real fans trying for tickets tonight.

    Yeah, that's what I kind of figured. A note to those waiting on line:

    Last night it was a bit of a clusterfuck in the sense that no people from The Beacon itself were monitoring that line at all, and it extended past some neighboring business entrances. In order to not obstruct those there were a few line breaks, and of course some dickheads started just entering said line wherever once it got to be after 8pm or so. So, yeah, point is if you have any hope of getting in tonight, get in that line super early.

    Amazing show. The more I think about it, the more I love it.

    10C tickets were 3rd row loge all the way to the left. Aisle seats too, which I always love. Beacon is such a fantastic venue that there isn't a bad seat IMO. The sound was amazing. This was the first time I had been there since the renovation and it's beautiful. Definitely one of the best places to see a show in NYC.

    To the people that were ripped off by scalpers - I'm sorry, but maybe it's because I've been going to shows in NYC for 15 years, but come on, have some common sense. If the person doesn't look like a fan trying to get rid of extra tickets, chances are they're fake. This is nothing new. The same group of people are outside every show in NYC ripping people off with fake tickets. I overheard one scalper saying "fuck this I ain't coming back tomorrow, no one's biting".

    I love that the posters and show-specific t-shirts were plentiful last night. Really cuts down on the people selling for 2-3X the cost on eBay. I didn't get to the venue until 8:10 and had no problem getting both, and when I went to the bathroom halfway through the set, there were still plenty left at the merch table. I absolutely LOVE the poster.

    Great set, I hope everyone going tonight has as good a time as I did. Can't wait for MTL in September!

    Glen - 7:30pm
    EV - 8:30pm

    Those are the announced set times per the PJ Guestlist email I got...but EV has been hitting the stage 10-15mins or so later than scheduled so far with regularity.

    Hate to break it to ya. But the yahoos are fans, are 10 clubbers and most likely post here.

    I said to my husband right after the show that talk of the idiots in the crowd would overshadow what a great show we just witnessed. All I could think while some asshole(s) were shouting while Ed was talking about Clarence was "LET THE MAN TALK". Eddie's intimate thoughts during these shows is what makes them so special, and ties all the music together. I think we had the majority of the morons in the balcony. I wish the people that can't appreciate the show as an experience would stay home.

    This is why he needs to do a fan club only show.

    He added some other comment about how Bruce/E Street was the first show he ever saw...and then made some comment about how the 2nd show he ever saw sucked in comparison (in so many words) but decided it wasn't nice to reveal who that group/band was.

    Kat - with all due respect, how is commenting on the crowd at the show being off-topic? The crowd can both diminish AND enhance your appreciation of the show.

    For instance, when the crowd just roared for a solid minute during Ed's "pause" in Betterman at MSG in 2010 - it was an epic moment. Similarly, if someone next to you was screaming while Ed was telling a story, it may have negatively impacted your opinion of the overall concert experience.

    But per your request, I will withhold my strong negative opinions of the moron who was screaming for "Hail, Hail" during the moment when Ed asked the West Memphis 3 volunteers to stand up.

    Long Road was AMAZING.

    Ed's the best there is. Crowd was horrendous.

    The show itself was insane, just perfection. Cant Keep uke version is much better than the Riot Act version. Long Road was one of the best performances ive seen ever Pearl Jam or Ed. Must say i like the normal Better Man more than the lullaby but it was still very cool and nice of Ed to changed the lyrics for the Big Man. The uke songs that stood out besides Cant Keep were Youre True and Sleepless Nights. His voice was tremendous as well, not sure if its because its early in the tour and its rested or because its just him on stage but hes sounded the best ive ever heard him.

    The crowd was atrocious. You can tell it wasnt a normal Pearl Jam crowd because of all the posters left at the end of the show. It was a crowd full of older guys with younger girl friends who they were trying to impress, all wearing like Great Gatsby attire or something. People yelled out "lose the uke" or "use the guitar" and even stuff like "play leash you pussy." if you dont want to hear the uke and want to hear leash then dont come to this show, its a solo tour. why purchase tickets if you dont want to see this, its like they were surprised. People were talking like it was a social event and everyone was leaving their seats every minute it seemed like. The doors always being opened in the back was distracting. I was severely disappointed with people talking during Arc. you should be able to hear a pin drop during that, i find it disrespectful to do anything to disrupt that.

    glen hansard is the man as well. everyone should watch him before Ed, its stupid not to.

    the show ended at around 1040 if i recall correctly, i waited outside for Ed until 120 when he came out. got a few blurry pictures and he didnt get to shake my hand but it was still cool seeing him that close. hopefully ill meet him tonight, it would be really cool just to thank him for everything hes done.

    In my experience the Chicago 08' shows were a lot less heckled - recently moved to NY and just might have to try and get back to see Ed at the Chicago Theatre. There's just that Ed/Chicago connection - solo wise anyway - cuz MSG - well it's incredible.

    Welcome to NY! I hope you don't hold last night as your everlasting impression of NYC fans. 2008 United Palace shows and NJPAC (okay I know that's NJ but there were many from NYC too!!) were some of the best shows I've ever seen, and you Pearl Jam at MSG is not to be missed. MSG II last year was epic. EPIC! Oh wait, you knew that already :D
