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.

I would contact ticket master and ask them. Even though I've found them to be useless in giving any information about this show. make sure you have her purchase order number when you go. I'd be worried to its a big trip. Call ticket master and explain the situation. It's been a pain in the ass not being able to sell and transfer tickets. I have 1 extra ga A ticket I'll be picking up before the preparty.

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).

Hey guys yes that's my understanding to they'll be available 48hrs prior to the event start time. Ticket master =ugh

IM in! got two general A tickets in 10C presale. Now to set up the rest of the trip! Anyone from Canada or that wants to coordinate travel is welcome. Thinking Thursday to Monday to include a few tourist stops. Looks like all reasonable Air Canada flights are through Toronto. PM me as will be booking flight soon!

Ryan, is one of your tickets an extra ticket? I have made a last minute decision to go this weekend... I plan on flying in friday and leaving Sunday- I am from Windsor... Loving Canada representing!

Yes it looks like its a short drive from the hotel .Preparty starts at 5.I was thinking of heading over to foro sol 430 on friday to pick up tickets then heading to la secina afterwards. On Saturday thinking of leaving just before 7ish so i can check out the merch ( yay! Merch! Lol)

Those times work for me!

Sorry you all are going through all this trouble with the tickets. I am arriving tomorrow and I will update how easy it is to get them. Also if anyone arrives and can't get their ticket for some reason, contact me because I have an extra GA-A ticket.

I heard it was 5am in Rio to get on the rail. I will need a little push to do something like this, but I'm open.

I also don't have the original card (fraud) and they told me to take a print out of my original ticketmaster receipt. Fingers crossed, should be fine.

Hey everyone, I am coming in from Los Angeles tomorrow! Staying until Monday. I saw Pearl Jam in Mexico city in 2011 so kind of familiar with how things work. I have a good buddy who lives in Mexico City so it makes it very easy for me to figure things out. Anyway, I am DETERMINED to get on the rail for the show. I was gonna bring my camelbak and lineup at 10am but it sounds like we might have to lineup earlier? I would LOVE to get a group of people together who are willing to lineup early. So far it is myself, my fiance, and my friend Rodrigo in Mexico. I have not been keeping up with this thread but are there people who are already planning to lineup early? Thanks and can't wait for the show!

I've heard that people will line up as early as 5am.

Crazy. Is anyone here going to do that for sure? Would be awesome to get a group together.

Or hopefully we do!

I'm gonna start an official list of people who are willing to line up at 5am. Feel free to copy this and add yourself to the list:

1.) ten474 (Jason from Los Angeles) (I will also be with my fiance and my friend Rodrigo who lives in Mexico City)
2.) thebreaker (Mike from Los Angeles)
3.) BizzzyBozzzy?
4.) steved?

Maybe a list is not the best idea. I am all for a small group of people for safety and motivation, but selfishly the point of this is to get on the rail. If we are waking up at the crack of dawn for a very few spots on a rail already possibly contending with a huge crowd of people sprinting into a venue filled with thousands of people. Though I would prefer it would be us from the message board that are there, we don't have to promote that we have a definitive start time with a large group so then others that may not have been motivated to do so arrive as well.

Just my selfish thoughts on the matter.

ten474

I understand. I went to this concert at the same venue in 2011 and the rail is very large. Also, the Pearl Jam has a strict "no sprinting" policy once gets open. If you are caught running you will be sent to the back of the line.
