Relax and reflect

So everyone is pissed and I get that. Am I disapointed yeah but it's not going to ruin my life. I fully expected to be disappointed today so there is that.

Of course I really wanted to go to this show but it's not in my cards. For whatever reason I dunno maybe I pissed off the tickets gods or maybe I'm just meant to never go to a baseball stadium. Whatever the reason is I don't care. It's over and done with.

A fall tour seems to be ahead and I will try for a couple of shows then. If I get one or two yay if not that sucks but whatever. I've seen PJ three times and EV once no matter what I will always have those memories if for some reason I never get to see them live again.

A lot people have double digits for their shows some are in the triple digits. Not going to one show is not the end of the world. I'm telling you that you can't be mad or upset but try to look at how fortunate you have been in the past. It's not the end of the world and tomorrow the sun will shine some of you have dig out of your house but you will be alive and this will pass.

I'm mostly disappointed with the sense of entitlement I feel that I am reading from many many many people on here. Just sit back relax and reflect on some of the great memories and shows you have been too.

    You will get Wrigley tickets. Trust me on this. I've said this in a couple other threads already, but I think it bears repeating. Scalpers will be dumping tickets when the excitement dies down and the demand just isn't there for these tickets at the prices they're asking.

    Meh I'm not worried about it I really am not. If I want to go I know I can double the face value but then I would be paying more for a hotel. I know people will get tixs if they really want them. I do want them but I don't like to support stubhub that site annoys me.

    I was really so sad and disappointed this morning when I didn't score the London or Wrigley tickets. However, after thinking about it more, I was able to reflect on concerts that I did attend, and how fortunate I was in the past. I am thinking that maybe for some reason or other, I am just not meant to be going to either London or Wrigley, and I will look forward to the upcoming announcement about the fall tour, hopefully soon!

    Sure be a fall tour...But, they will probably announce 5 shows....Then couple weeks later announce some more...Just so the tickets will be high demand...Since your taking a gamble on...If they will play in your area?..

    I doubt that will happen. If it does that just means they are trying to piss off their fans. Take a deep breath and relax.

    I'm not going to get in to a argument about the band caring or being greedy. I like to think the best of people no matter what. So continue to think they (pearl jam) are money hungry greedy fuckers all you want. Like I said many of us have been to multiple shows so announcing to the world you think PJ is a greedy band makes you look bad. Go out and drink or something let the anger go it's not worth it.

    Fair enough...But, when you have seen a band change in a bad way...Upsets me...Sure, I have no control over it...

    But, the band/pj management....Could make it so much easier on the fans...

    Yeah they could have you're right about that. Hindsight is always 20/20 they could have announced the fall tour along with these two shows. 10c could have secured more tickets from Wrigley. But none of that happened.

    Does it suck balls? Absolutely it does. But this is what we have to deal with now. Love it or hate it it's the system we have now so we all have to grind our teeth and deal with it.
