    EV really sounds excited about this.

    Said show's been years in the making. He'll handle most of vocals, since Daltrey can't sing three consecutive shows.
    Shaping up to be one of the most historic shows in Ed's career.
    WOO HOO!!!!!!

    Due to a ticketmaster screw up we ended up with 2 pairs of tickets to this show, and can of course only use one of them. Ticketmaster refuses to refund them even though their site errored out and, well, I'm sure everyone knows the story.....

    They are ticketfast tickets. Section 112 row S - These are $518 seats, and are actually some of the best $518 seats you could get. We are willing to take less than face value. We paid $1024.11 for the pair, willing to take $900. We are obviously not scalpers. Just fans coming in from Denver to see the show who had issues with TM website. alora@idledale.com, or graham@idledale.com.

    Sounds fishy.. Sure the ticketmaster higher ups would take care of it if it was their screw up.

    I've been monitoring this on the primary and secondary market and there are now many sets of lowers in the J-W rows of 106, 107, 108, 111, and 112 on StubHub where the total buyer price (with fees) is less than original Ticketmaster prices. Some singles in 103-105 as well that are cheaper than original prices. Heads-up if you guys wanted to support a good cause and pay a bit less! There are still also tickets available on Ticketmaster at original prices, but many of the tickets on StubHub at the same price-levels are both in better locations and cheaper!. I'd steer clear of the 106-112 AA-HH as they are not much cheaper and you'd probably have a better view on the balcony anyway.

    I'll be there myself in a single in 102. Hoping for Quadrophenia!

    Wow. Still tickets left to this? I thought for sure, with the insanity of Pearl Jam/Eddie fans, this would sell out instantly... even the expensive seats.

    On a Saturday, even a Sunday--this sells out immediately; maybe even becomes a tough ticket. But for those like me who have to travel to make this it's two days off work + $$$ concert ticket. (For most it's also + airfare/place to stay, I'm lucky to have points to burn.)

    The percentage of those of us who will do whatever it takes to be there for something like this in 3 weeks goes up immensely on the weekends. Just the way it goes. The Who playing down the road the night before is another factor.

    I missed one of these back when I lived in Chicago--there was a ticket for me, but I just couldn't afford it. Not this time.

    Ed said Joan Jett and Joe Walsh would definitely be making appearances, and said he tried to get Jack White, but he's busy on his little solo acoustic tour. Made me even more pumped up for the event! 3 weeks from today!

    How can we free up Jack White's schedule? Heads would explode at that combo. This is gonna be awesome.

    I'm so pissed I can't go to this, prior commitment I can't get out of.

    Serious question, why does Josn Jett seem to be everywhere?

    Does The Who do individual concert posters like PJ? Any chance we see one for the Townshend/Vedder show?

    Both of The Who's prior charity shows in Chicago with EV or PJ had show specific posters.
