I don't understand the people who get offended by multiple show attenders to solo Ed.

    to play devils advocate so to speak...

    but would this conversation be happening if YOU didnt get ANY tickets either?


    I'm just saying...its all fun until your on the outside looking in.....


    It happened to me many times. Let's see......posters I got shut out of, the Vic I got shut out of. Look back and you won't see 1 post about me bitching to the people that got everything.

    And any show you see more than once is exactly the same. Wether it's Pearl Jam or Ed there is no difference.

    And in my opinion Ed shows are VERY RARE! Why not try to go to as many as you can. When's the next time Ed is going on tour by himself? Maybe never.

    I am not offended by those who do, but I think it is one of those cases where it might be best to do only one. There is such a limited amount of tickets. I think that it is probally good karma to let others go as well.

    If you really want them you'll get them.

    Yep...many will...from scalpers (whether its Stubnub or at the venue).

    By NOT limiting show numbers for these small venues and this unique event, 10C is unwittingly going to give scalpers all kinds of opportunitys.

    I got tix to my ONE show through 10Club...thanks for that.

    If you're going to many or would...enjoy. But its not right. Period.

    Exactly.... I hope Ed will be touring solo again one day and maybe 10C will have reconsidered what is truely the right thing to do for ALL fans.

    I don't blame the people at all. I do think Ten Club should have limited it to one show per member since the venues are so small, but that's on them not on the die hard fans who want to see PJ and EV as often as possible.

    I also think they should have done a lottery for the tickets rather than all the refreshing frustration of trying to get through to buy so few tickets--and I'm not bitter as I got tickets to DC night 2 and only wanted to go to one show. It was just a pain.

    I think most people would have preferred it if they just had to register in the week before and then they just did a lottery to award chances to buy tickets.

    The main reason to be in the 10C is basically the good tickets to EVERY show. If I had the money and time off from work to go to every single Pearl Jam/ Eddie show I WOULD!!!! I don't like people getting mad at me for seeing TOO MANY Ed shows. Sorry if you didn't get tickets but this conversation wouldn't be happening if you had tickets to more shows.

    Hmmm..guess I'm in the 10C for more reasons..plus I thought/hoped it was made up largely of folks who would be really cool and have the same mentality as PJ...cheap tickets (well they were...but can't complain)...the old "Jamily" term (which was corny), anti-TM, etc. Good, largely caring lovers of PJ and Ed's music.

    But like with everything its a Club made up of those who really care about themselves and others and those who don't give a damn about anyone else. And of course many in between. Life goes on and some horde...some give. Like some of the "givers" I've been lucky enough to meet from here!

    i don't think he's upset that he didn't get tickets? But rather annoyed that people would stalk a man for 2 weeks. (noobs) :) Face it.... there is a ton of wacko's(fanboys) in this PJ community!!! At Msg while in line for a poster(wristband) dudes where buttin and pushin like fucking children!!! I was 2 seconds away from sucker punching these people. :) I think following Eddie Vedder is a little excessive, but shit...if you have the loot and the time go right ahead.

    Didn't try for any tickets. If he can't come see us in Philly....fuck em!! LOL :D

    Have a great time everyone
    being so KiND.. tO LEt me RiDe!!!

    The funny thing is I have "extras" to every show i'm going to. And I have a list of friends who would want to go. Every Ed or Pearl Jam show i go down the list and invite friends of mine. Sorry for not being "giving" as you say but all my friends appreciate me taking them.

    i'm just playing around...but seriously, you guys know the deal.

    i'm not gonna tell anyone what to do, but more than 3 ed shows is excessive. i'm not bitter about the 10c presale (bet your ass if this happened for a pj show i would be) because i know i'll get in and all of the venues are small, and the seats will be fine regardless.

    so...ya know....relax noobs


    Im confused :confused: why do you keep on calling people noobs when the noob on the board its you? Just saying....

    It should be pwnd, and it stems from gamer speak, as in 'owned', (ie. totally beat someone, killed their monster, destroyed their ship, whatever) but people are always mis-typing it and hitting the 'p' instead of the 'o' so the word became pwnd.

    It just would have been nice for all those who wanted to enjoy the
    "initimate" and "once in a lifetime" opportunity to see a show actually
    got the chance without having to scramble and find themselves running
    out of options.
    no grudges held against people going to multiple shows, that would
    be silly but I can remember a time when this "little" community would
    think of their fellow neighbor in times of Pearl Jam.
    The community has grown, it's evolution baby and it has meant that
    the PJ word has gotten out to many.many more people. That can only
    be a good thing.

    To everyone who got tickets, whether it's 1,2,3 or however many, enjoy
    the experience because who knows when it may happen again.

    Thanks for the clarification.... I still wouldn't have known even if it was correctly spelled - LOL...

    i see it like this:

    if you are seeing 4 or more ed shows you either:

    are a fucking fanboy/girl with no mind of your own
    have too much time on your hands
    got too big of a tax rebate and don't know what to do with it

    i can totally understand seeing pearl jam 20 times on a tour(i just did 9 on the last one and would still love a few more)....but ed solo more than 3 times is a little insane in my humble opinion.

    I was with you till the last paragraph where you admitted seeing Pearl Jam 9 fucking times this tour. Wow, talk about being an insane fanboy without a mind of their own who has way too much time to devote and money to spend on some rock band :)..

    whats not to understand, it pretty simple, there are people on this measage pit who are whacked, they use the band, and this board to act out their inner child and sometimes it involves foolish thoughts.

    I think its great to get out there and enjoy as many shows as you can, thats what they are there for, and this is 1 of the many things america is good for.
    Freedom to do what you want.
    I just dont get it we all love the band, we certanly cant control the concert bussiness and who buys tickets, but becasue the ten club allows us a chance to get good seats early, and they give us this measage board free to comunicate with eachother and be honest, in retrun it causes some fans to hate on eachother and put people down over region, genetic background, and honest opinion ect, exct! for no reason, other than the need to bond with people over mean stuff, because, lets face some people in here just cant comunicate about the band itself, I guess becasue its not as important as treading on fellow fans.
    Some people have religion I have Pearl Jam.
