    No see that's where you're wrong, I DO need to be at this show. But that's a long story. I'm going and that's good enough for me.

    Good luck to all seeking tix, see you next week.

    I wouldn't worry about the cost of your ticket vs others. You'll be there, I won't. I'd gladly trade places with you.

    I wish I could pull it off, but I can't.

    I'll admit, I paid $500+ in presales, I'll be pissed if there's someone in better seats that paid less. That's not right.

    There will be.

    FU Speedy and F Cincy. :)

    Just kidding mods, don't ban me. Please.

    It's all good. I'm 20 rows from stage, I shouldn't complain. Sooooo excited.
    Down to $98 on Vivid Seats.

    I call that a Bargain. The best I ever had.

    There are a few sadistic people on this forum that seem to take immense pleasure in seeing people who unfortunately ended up with extras lose money and accusing them of untoward behavior. I hope they all get bad karma.

    I for one DO NOT want to see anyone lose money. Its a shame that these tickets aren't selling, especially considering the charity. Nobody here wants anyone to lose money or feel cheated.

    I am just having a little fun with PureandEasy.

    I don't think that is the case as most of could not afford the higher prices tickets and got shut out of every pre-sale and regular sale for the $100.00 tickets. I don't want too see people lose money but if those who want to go and are excited to get cheaper tickets shouldn't we be a little happy? If I could help someone out with a $300-$500 ticket I would... I just cant and I really want to go to this show. I know the others on the forum feel the same way. Bad karma or not... it's the truth.
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    I am excited also... less than 1 week! I hope they play "Heaven and Hell". I doubt they will because it seemed like The Who don't touch that one much, even when John Entwistle was alive. I think that one would be perfect for EV both vocally and lyrically.

    I'm mostly looking forward to Ed geeking out around Pete and Roger!

    I am so very excited, too! Very curious to see how the show's gonna turn out, cause it could go in so many directions! I think that adds to the excitement for me--I truly don't know what I'm in for, but I know it's gonna be amazing!

    I did not
    I live 2 miles from the venue, I am a HUGE WHO fan, I am obviously a BIG fan of Eddie....
    Yet this show really does nothing for me.

    When I see THE WHO....I want to see Roger sing
    Ya know what I mean?

    But I am sure it will be a GREAT TIME!

    This thread is like a reverse of the run-up to Cinci '06 . Lower expectations to then be blown away.

    bummer! it will be fun. scored two in the $100 section. wouldn't have pulled the trigger on anything more expensive than that though.

    shit, for the amount people have spent on these tickets, they could have just purchased the mystery vinyl of their choice that they are complaining about not receiving over in those threads. PERSPECTIVE!

    cubs game this summer. slowly getting organized. i'll purchase you a couple old styles.

    Should be interesting how this all goes down. My biggest fear, is since it is such a small venue, The Eddie Vedder worshippers will act like they do during one of his solo shows.

    As I sit and ask my wife if she wants a beer, the guy next to me, who has had his eyes glued to Eddie Vedder for 2 hours, looks at me with hatred in his eyes and says...

    "Be quiet! Eddie Vedder is speaking!"

    Hahahahaha

    God this is so true! Ed ved solo shows have really become a train wreck due to the psycho pj fans.
    I m not surprised at all that there are so many tickets available for this show, it was extremely overpriced.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......
