    Seems like there is a presale tomorrow. Anyone know how to get in?
    i'm trying to figure that out now.  if i get a code i'll message you.
    Thanks! Same to you. Looks like it is MB presale (member maybe?) and a venue presale. Maybe someone that is local can call the Rosemont and see if there is any info?

    Presale codes - What's "MB" referencing? Can't seem to dig up anything for the venue presale either.

    MB Financial I'm guessing. A sponsor on their website.

    I'm a little torn about this... the last Who/EV fundraiser at Rosemont was tough to justify the $100/750 ticket prices.
    Great to see this happening, and nothing will stop me from going, but definitely arriving with lower expectations.

    Yes - If I remember correctly, their last show was pretty short (maybe less than 90min) with Ed on stage for only a few songs.  I remember a lot of people asking "that was it?" at the end of the show.

    I sometimes forget how spoiled we are with 2.5 hour PJ shows.

    The last time they did this the show was a little short but it was awesome. No complaints. Loved the venue and loved everything about it. I would love it if Ed wasn't involved just for the fact Quadrophenia is my fave Who album. They were so solid when they played last.

    We missed it last time because of a trip but happy to have a second chance. Have to consider those prices and how high to go.

    Last time I flew in that morning without tickets and at 2 p.m. I pulled the trigger on a pair of $750 for $300 each off of one of the online sites.
     Well worth it.

    Exactly. I think the crowd got really into it about halfway through (when the full band starting playing), so when it ended people were ready to go for another hour. This seems like an entirely different format for a charity show, so it's not a fair comparison.

    cool thanks for posting that. it was a great show. ended up lower balcony for $250/ticket. worth every penny. the poster is now framed. 2 massive hero's of mine!! great poster imo
    ed singing behind blue eyes was worth the price of admission alone and besides it's for charity and a good charity at that!
    dug joan jet as well. she totally nailed at least 1 who tune if i remember correctly

    Great charity and Pete and Eddie!  Would also greatly appreciate the pre-sale code if possible.

    Anyone know if Mr. Vedder will be at the VIP meet and greet? I know he typically does not, but the promo material makes it sound like the guests will be there. 
    I'm trying to think of a really good signature.

    The question I think that is on everyone's mind is... will Ed tuck his shirt in again?
    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.

    This is cool and all, but I already saw Pete & Ed at Rosemont 2 years ago! That was a great night!

    (this is what I tell myself since I won't be in town and can't attend)

    Doubt he'll do the meet & greet. That'd be an expensive gamble to chance, unless he's done a M&G before.

    Anyone managed to see a presale code yet?
