    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.

    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.

    ^^^ Wondering the same.

    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)
  • tschavtschav Posts: 2,861
    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?

    Presale code please

    The last EV / Who benefit was good enough for me.  If I lived in Chicago I might consider it.

    I saw the last night, a real good show. Pete still has a lot in the tank.

    If someone has a presale code, can the PM it to me.

    Got a job interview at 11 and don't want to risk being late to see if "venue presale" means you can buy them at the venue. Which would make sense but the venue says it doesn't open until 11 and the presale says 10 so who knows.

    thank you

    Presale codes - What's "MB" referencing? Can't seem to dig up anything for the venue presale either.
    The Who site mentions a presale for fan club members today at 10 CDT, so I'm assuming "MB" is members.

    Nice! I just went with one of the side balcony $100 pairs, couldn't rationalize spending more than that. Happy to be in the building.
