    Yeah i heard today from a guy that "international" will call tickets are available at the box office/will call of foro sol right up to about an hour before the show.

    I hope you all can pick up your tickets then. It would be pretty crazy if you had to do it at least 48 hours before the show as the emails have said.

    Did everyone buy them at http://www.ticketmaster.com.mx/?

    Hello All!

    I will also be going to the Pearl Jam concert in Mexico City on Saturday November 28th. I will be staying at the Riazor Hotel,

    I am flying in from United States (Tulsa, OK). I will actually be arriving next Tuesday and will be leaving on the 30th.

    I am a little worried about getting a ride back to the hotel after the show as it looks like it would not be the safest walk.

    If anyone wants to get together before the show or share a ride afterwards let me know!

    I also have an extra GA ticket if anyone is interested.

    See you at the Riazor! I'm flying in from New York on Thursday. We absolutely should plan on sharing some rides for all of us at the Riazor.

    I'd love to share a taxi from the riazor to the show and back with others.Maybe we should agree on a time to meet in the lobby on saturday to catch a cab.Then agree on a place to meet after the show to catch a cab back?

    This is a great idea.. After the show we should walk to the hotel Grand Prix and take cabs back from there.

    I'm definitely in with you guys about taxis to and from the Riazor.
    Unfortunately I won't be arriving until day of so Holly9075 I'm hoping you and some of the other posts are right about Will Call.
    I'm pretty sure it'll be there. I will need to allow enough time for that pick up before the show.

    Hey guys that sounds good about Saturday. I'm Holly Scott on Facebook feel free to add me on.(There's a picture of me with the Eiffel tower in the background on there).Walking to the grand prix sounds like a good idea. easier to catch a cab.Getting back from the concert is my biggest concern.Also for those of you at the Raizor on Friday cab sharing late afternoon to forosol and to the preparty would also be great!

    I think sharing a cab is a good idea on Saturday. I am checking into the Raizor on Friday and would be open to going to the preparty. It is at La Secina, correct?

    I arrive at the airport about 1230 on Saturday so won't make the pre-party or Friday ticket pick-up but taxi for the show from Riazor just before 7 sounds good to me if I can join u guys. Holly9075, can you perhaps post after you've collected your tickets Friday to confirm will call at the venue, and location?
    I know it's hard to believe but I'm not on Fb, u on whatsapp?

    I think you can only pickup at Foro Sol on the day of the concert. You need to pickup at Ticketmaster Outlet prior to Saturday.

    I'm not certain and there is a lot of conflicting information.

    Did anyone else receive this email from Ticketmaster? I'm not happy about the part bolded,


    Dear Customer,

    Please remember to collect your tickets PEARL JAM ** ** that will take place on November 28 at the Foro Sol within 48 HRS BEFORE THE EVENT otherwise TICKETS may be canceled without notice. To pick up tickets must present the following requirements:

    1. Credit card with which you made the purchase . (Note: The card will be ironed card as proof of this , therefore no mini or without embozar cards are received ) .
    2. Official ID ( only credential INE card, passport or professional license ) .
    3. Confirmation number given at the time of purchase.

    To locate your nearest Ticketmaster Center here .

    Please do not answer this email . If you have any questions or comments . Contact Us
    or write us at twitter ServicioTM

    "Within 48 hours before the event" is not the same as "not later than 48 hours before the event". Even 1 hour before the event is still "within 48 hours before the event". I think the idea is that you cannot pick up tickets at any point in time earlier than 48 hours before the event (i.e. not before Thursday at 8 pm).

    Does anyone have any suggestion if you don't have the credit card the purchase was made with? I bought a pair of tix off another member and when we realized we couldn't transfer them she mailed me her drivers license (i'll be mailing it back after we get home) as she and my girlfriend look very similar so I didn't think it would be an issue since we have her ID. This whole credit card thing has me really nervous as I'm coming from Philly for this show and I don't wana not be able to pick up the tix. If anybody has any suggestions I'm all ears, and/or if anybody has an extra pair of GA Sec A tix I would gladly meet you in Mexico City and can paypal you immediately.
