Why not have a meet and greet before the show? Many bands such as the Goo Goo dolls have a lottery. I was able to win and get a chance to meet and get a picture with the band. Wouldn't that be great to actually meet Ed? And get a chance to get your picture with the band?

    A lot of the times Ed takes his bike and rides around the parking lots early...say a show is at 8 or so, he will be out there around 330 or so...sometimes Mike is outside chilling right before the opening band is on or while they are on

    the goo goo dolls did this a few months ago in an indie store next to the coffee shop i work at, needless to say i don't think this would work to well with pearl jam as the demand would be through the roof... cool idea though
    looking for 2 to Columbia...

    It's not really PJ's style to do something with such structure.

    I think they prefer to meet fans when they're just out and about doing their normal daily things. I mean, look at the number of stories reported here as I Met ________. They always talk about being in a restaurant or walking the city streets and just happening to run into one or two band/crew members.

    It's much cooler and more authentic that way.

    I'm with you Rhinomatic! Meet and greets, while a cool idea, would make it more of a "your chance to meet these famous people" thing--I don't think the guys in Pearl Jam would be comfortable with that.
