If you're a true Eddie and Pearl Jam fan, and are willing to pay whatever to see our man play solo, please help me tell those who aren't willing to pay to see Eddie that WE ARE!!!!!!

    Just to be clear, what do you mean by "pay whatever" ?

    I am with you, OP!
    IMHO each day could be someone's last; we should cherish each experience we can have. And if it isn't worth it to you, then feel free to exit this fan club (not haters club) and the Faithful can all move up a number. :lol:
    Don't rip off my head by saying "oh, so now I'm not allowed to voice my displeasure???" I am saying that if people get THAT worked up, maybe this is not for you.
    Peace

    I mean whatever they charge for it! the question is not how much do you want to pay for it, but: How much do you WANT TO SEE THEM?!!!! ps: Im not here to argue with anyone , just voice my opinion!!!

    When I saw Eddie tour announced, immediately put in for London or Manchester, didn't even look at prices... Been dying to see Ed solo for years now, cost of tix/flights was never gonna be an issue... But hey thats just me... :)

    That's a load of me bollix, tbh. There is no value on being a 'true' fan. The world is fucked, and Eddie & co seemed to have missed that memo.

    I'm a 'true fan' of Jimmy Choo shoes, but I am not willing to pay 'whatever' to own a pair so I can wear them for a few hours at a function.

    True fan... :roll:

    When theres bills to pay, mouths to feed etc it's hard to justify the expense ..

    It cost me £100 for two pearl jam tickers and will cost £150 for the train ... thats right the Train costs 3x more than the gig. This is the only problem for me, I don't suddenly hate my favourite band :lol:

    It' s just the reality of travel and hotels thats going to be the killer.. & it's about the money, in the sense that no one has any at the moment and it's knowing you'll have to make other sacrifices in order to go to a gig. For me it means using my bike more and selling some things on ebay. When your responsible for a family it has wider an impact on more people... Even true fans sometime put thier children first and are not willing to fork out a grand on a personal holiday.

    Me, i just think I've spent more money on pointless items in the past that bring me no closer to Pearl Jam. like a dress i bought for a freaking wedding, what a waste of cash. Maybe I'll wear it to the gig and get some use out of the thing.. .. rambling now, Im ill in bed smiley-sick010.gif have been Quarentined by my family... Think i might enter the lotto today for ev today. It does feel a bit greedy but.. i'm ill I need cheering up... See I'm awful with money don't listen to me.
    Sometimes I speak of nothing at all.

    I think we have to go and hear Ed sing whenever he shows up!
    I wouldn't want to be someone who missed hearing him when I could have gone.
    I think he's worth more than whatever the tickets cost.

    I put in for Manchester and London in the hope of getting both :D
    I don't care about the cost, I'll do some extra work somewhere.

    Well, maybe they're a true fan of the Wanted. Who are you to judge? ;):lol:


    As for the topic of this thread: Yes, sometimes (more often than not) it is about the money. I'm not seeing Pearl Jam in Europe this time (unless a miracle happens), not to mention Eddie - the money just isn't there, no matter how much I'd want to go. Does it make me less of a fan because I'm not willing to sell my kidney to see a band? Fuck no.

    agreed! But my point is, you cant compare Eddie to The wanted, totally different genres, The Wanted arent even World wide famous, they went to America and people didnt know who they were! So dont thin Eddie's prices are high if you think of it that way!! ;)
