    Eddie Vedder's first solo gig on the April Fool's tour in Vancouver (technically the second as there was a small "warm-up" in Seattle the night before if I recall correctly.)

    CSB: Tried for 10C tickets through the site ... a glitch in the system made it seem like there were still tickets left, so I kept trying, getting sent to an error page, etc. Next thing I know, my card's being rejected. Every seemingly failed transaction put a hold on my card, so it was tapped out. Thankfully I had a "back-up" credit card; the funds on my primary card hadn't been released by the time the public onsale happened through Ticketmaster. The public's allotment were gone in about 3 minutes, I think. I was extremely lucky to get a ticket through TM. The Centre for Performing Arts only has 1836 seats. 8-):mrgreen:

    winner. Lucky SOB.

    Mods, feel free to shut this thread down. :lol:

    I felt pretty lucky when I got tickets to Toronto 1 and 2 in 2011. And MSG 2008 (both shows)

    There were a few others, non-PJ though:

    Coachella 2007
    Audioslave, koolhaus, Toronto 2005 (cap 2900)
    Incubus, Verizon Wireless center, Houston 2007 (cap 2000) - note this was right before the band went completely opposite to my tastes
    Kings of Leon, koolhaus, Toronto 2008 (cap 2900 - but way more ppl there than that)
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    Pearl jam / voters for choice - 1/15/95 dar hall, dc.
    First show, my 15th birthday, and a hundred envelope entries sent in. Was SO stoked.

    Nine inch nails - 1994 - Fayetteville - won tickets off Charlotte radio station. Unbelievable.
    Marilyn Manson - Jeremiah's, Charlotte, nc 1995 - "secret" show at a tiny ass club. Fucking awesome.
    Porno for pyros - 1996 - Atlanta - sold out, sent an aol IM to mike watt and asked if there was any way possible, and he actually put me on the guest list (and sent me a "big train" 7") - guy is a class act!
    Soundgarden - 2012 - Borgatta - was actually mildly depressed how easy these were to score.
    Janes addiction - oct 2011 - Irving plaza, NYC - same story as above. Mildly depressed it sold out so slowly.

    Moore Theatre 2/6/95. Fan club only "Piss Bottle Men" show with Neil Young encore. We went down there, scored tix for $100 each, and ran in just as Release was starting

    AND

    ARO.Space 5/7/98 - small secret show in Seattle. Matt Cameron's 1st. Waited outside and was almost the last person let in. Missed the 1st couple songs but it was incredible.

    And while I'm at it - I can't believe I got to see Mad Season play the Crocodile Café....

    I still think Holy Balls as well. I guess I was lucky to grow up in Seattle and be just the right age at the right time. I still can't believe the Mad Season show I got into. I went to the bar to get a beer and bellied up next to some dude that turned out to be McCready. Then I was standing there by the stage waiting for them to go on. Some dude bumped into me. I turned and it was Layne Staley making his way to the stage. And what a fantastic show....
