    They have to be last. I cannot think of a scenario where it would be productive for them not to be. I have to say I am not sure that fans of other artists would be considering coming from all over the world for Ed Sheeran, Coldplay or even Beyoncé, for that matter. I am not discrediting how great each of the other music acts are but for a festival with this intention it is wise to keep people there as long as possible. I would believe that if PJ did play earlier in the evening there would be a lot of empty space. With this being broadcast on live TV, commercial endorsements are important as well. Again, if PJ played anytime other than last, I would believe the amount of TV views would decline significantly throughout the broadcast thus hurting the ROI for sponsors.

    Not sure if I make sense but, even with the popularity of the other artists Pearl Jam is seemingly the biggest draw.

    They are listed first on the posted. They are last.
    Coldplay will be first, then Sheeran, thats for sure.

    Only thing I am unsure of is whether it will then go PJ-Beyonce or Beyonce-PJ

    Beyonce is arguably the more notable of the 2 in todays society, wouldnt surprise me at all to see PJ come on and play from 6-730

    GC said they would cancel the tickets sold on Stubhub but I think in reality they are getting a piece of the action. I am sure of it.

    anyone have any extra Jimmy Fallon or Stephen Colbert tickets for the week of the show? PM me.... :)
  • dmbolpdmbolp ATL Posts: 1,513
    I put in for 4 Jimmy Fallon tickets for FRI 9/25 the instant they were available last Thursday 8/16 11:00am. If I get them and have extras will trade for GAs.

    Don't worry. You'll get in.

    The bulk of the free tickets haven't been awarded yet.

    That makes me feel better.
    But when I think of all the people that entered and how HUGE NYC alone is... I start to get a little nervous. I am sure half the entries probably came from us crazy PJ fans.

    They are giving away 48,000 tickets.

    So far, they have doled out only 7,500 tickets, leaving 40,500 tickets available for future drawings.

    You're in, man. You're in.

    If I get tickets, I'm almost positive I'll have an extra. This sort of festival isn't really my wife's thing. And many others who win will be in a similar situation.

    MSG tickets were much easier to get. Geez.

    after the initial rush of interest, and people securing tickets, I assume people/entries will fade with each passing drawing

    I'm not worried

    Stubhub is a bulletin board, anybody can list any ticket for any price to any show.
    GA is gone now, they've pulled them.

    It was technically impossible to list regular ga until this week. Stubhub has to "turn on that section" per se to let people list them. Something Is stinky with this all

    Incorrect. You can list tickets for the event and key in anything you want in the "Section" field, Like GA or General Admission or whatever you want. In the "Row" field you are limited to 5 characters, like GA. If reported Stubhub will remove the listing if it's something against their policy, but you can list anything you want.

    If PJ isn't on last, you'll need to weigh the chance to beat the crowd out against the chance of potentially missing them take part in the finale. Getting out early may indeed win out but there is the chance you will miss something.

    Nothing says legendary like Chris Martin, Ed Sheeran and Beyonce butcher people have the power or rocking in the free world.

    I disagree with dtr0624, I've see pj about 15 times and I really enjoyed the pj and jay z colab it was something new and unique. If your not a fan of jay z then I can understand not liking it but I grew up listing to rap and rock I enjoy all forms of music. Seeing Pearl jam perform betterman or alive is cool but I can't tell you the difference between the first time I've heard it or the 13 th, I'll never see 99 problems performed live by pj ever again and that experience will be something I remember forever.

    +1

    While I'm not a huge fan of Jay Z, that collaboration was a pretty unique and likely one time only thing.

    Would I have preferred to hear one of my favorite PJ tunes? Sure, but I'll take 99 Problems over an original I've already seen them play 8+ times. (Honestly, if I had a choice between seeing PJ play Last Kiss [again] or playing an original Beyoncé tune with her singing............ I would probably take the collaboration!)
