This is great!! However, I was looking into the Phoenix, AZ show; $96.00, Vegas $108.00 REALLY?!? What happened to making the tickets affordable for everyone? Because Eddie and the guys are older and thinking the fan base is older, the idea about making shows accessible to everyone has gone with age? I get that everyone needs to make money here but come on. I don't understand the prices and why.
Eddie and Pearl Jam have fans of all ages. It isn't just the people who grew up listening to them anymore. The same people who grew up listening to them now have kids and introducing their kids to the music.There kids are sharing with their friends and so on. Also, parents of the group who grew up listening to Pearl Jam are starting to listen as well. I personally think, they have figured out the staying power of Pearl Jam and talent that comes along with it. Now there kids or parents are wanting to see shows and can't afford it.
I can say this with confidence because my 14 year old son, 9 year old daughter, and 7 year old son were digging threw my old CD's and found all my old PJ, Alice in Chains, Bush, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Candle Box, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Penny Wise and so on. They really took to the PJ and Alice in Chains to the point my 7 year old want to sing Alive or The Roster (Alice in Chains) for his 1st grade talent show. My 14 year old has learned to play both songs on guitar and my 7 year old was going to have him play while he sang. Of course, they were shut down by the school because I live in a very LDS/Mormon community. It would have been a great post if they were able too.
They have also got Grandpa into the music as well. Grandpa has a band and have started covering PJ songs when they perform. When I was growing up I was told to, "turn that crap down". Now you get into his car and Grandpa has Rearviewmirror playing in his CD player. The CD is right along with The Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Skynard, Beatles, Boston, Journey, and so on. If that isn't credit to PJ's staying power..
I can go see My Darkest Day, Seether, Bush, and Nickel Back between $45 - $75. Yeah, I would only go to see My Darkest Day, Seether and Bush (not a fan of Nickel Back) but, would still pay that much for those 3 shows. I am a fan and always will be, no question. However, I want to see a show whether its Eddie or all of the band. But being an adult with kids, I cannot justify paying that much for a ticket.

So you think it's safe now for me to book my Memphis flights? I was holding out thinking that he'd add Nashville.
Just a heads up, Memphis was recently named the most expensive airport in the country to travel through. You'd probably save a lot of cash by flying into Nashville (or Little Rock) and driving to Memphis.
I'm driving from Memphis to Nashville to fly to some Ed shows in Florida and my savings were ridiculous.

Thanks for the head's up! I wanted to go to Nashville anyhow, so maybe this will be a good excuse. We're driving over to Little Rock to catch up with a friend I met on this forum, so I'll look into that too. I flew into Little Rock for the West Memphis Three rally (Eddie plus Johnny Depp -- oh my!!!), and it was a nice little airport.
I'll be at the Orlando concert on May 16th. Will you be at that concert?

Nashville is tons of fun. PM me and I can tell you all the good stuff to hit.
Memphis can be fun too. The drive isn't too bad, 3 hours at most. I'll be driving to Memphis that morning. Thinking maybe hitting Graceland, then lunch at Hueys. Silkys after the EV show for a diver.

While you're here you've gotta do the Gibson Guitar Factory Tour. It's way cool and very close to The Orpheum.

Definitely, will look into that one. Been a while since I have been to Memphis. Thanks.
Does anyone know if there is going to be a Wishlist sponsered pre-party?
I would love to help organize for this.......I just can't financially spend the extra night in Memphis which would be required of me to help organize the party. Sorry. I feel like I'm letting so many people down.
I wish I were the verb "to trust" and never let you down
It would be cool if Eddie Vedder comes back to Toronto again for a solo show. I saw Pearl Jam for the first time last year and it was a really good show. Neil Young joining Pearl Jam during Keep On Rockin' The Free World was an awesome way to end the show.
Anyone know if we'll find out what seat assignments we have from Ten Club drawing prior to day of show at will-call?
No, you won't know prior. You'll learn your seat locations when you pick up your tix.
:( Bummer. Thanks for the reply!
I kinda enjoy the anticipation. You've got the given that you're about to see the show and have the chance of putting the cherry on top by hitting the lottery. Plus you get to hang out in line w/ 10C peeps!
Does anyone know if Ticketmaster tickets have been printed yet?
I received mine last week or the week before
OK, thanks. My husband won some from a local radio station and they were supposed to call when they received them so we can pick them up. I am just guessing that they should have got them after they were printed. I might need to give them a call.
Just scored front row grand tier left. Anyone familiar with that view? My wife and I just scored those seats on TM. We are bringing our 9 yr old son as a reward for being so awesome with his autistic sister. We also are flying into Nashville. Can anyone help with things to do for the 3 of us in Nashville and Memphis? Any help is much appreciated. By the way, flying in from Ohio, it was half the price to fly into Nashville instead of Memphis!
Just a heads up that Social Distortion is also playing in Memphis the same night as Eddie. I bought my SD tix before they even announced the show but you gotta think Mike and Eddie will help each other out. It would be great if they could start the Social Distortion show a little later so fans wanting to see both could hustle from one to the other.

I used to have Ball and Chain as the ring tone for my husband (he's a good sport!). Maybe Eddie will play that as a homage to them.

Not very exciting for a 9 year old, but the guided tour of the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville is pretty interesting.

I don't think anyone has volunteered at this point.
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind

Perfect, that sounds like a good stop to make. Thanks!

We will find out the day of show. When we get in line they will hand us an envelope and it will have your name and 10club number on it.
