Are you telling me that I will not be able to get a PRINTED version of the ticket no matter what?!?!

I still have every ticket from almost every concert, broadway play, sporting event , and even the movies.  I used to put them in those baseball card pages, and for a guy like me with all this stuff and memories, it is a non-issue .... 

No outrage here in the slightest, understand your disappointment no doubt, but no outrage.

Now if you want to talk about how I feel when I turn on the nightly news?? We can talk about outrage.  

HI-FIVE TO THIS!

I'm not outraged, just dissapointed.

I like collecting stubs.  I would surmised I've been to 300+ concerts since my teens, it's hard keep tracking.   Concerts are one of my favourite things to do, so once and a while it's interesting going back and seeing what I've been too.

This won't be the first PJ show I've seen without ticket.   Vancouver 2000 only had laniards (which I put the plastic bit in my ticketstub album).  Pemberton 2016 had a printout ticket you exchanged for a wristband.    I printed out a 2nd copy, cut it out, and put in the album with the wristband.

Hopefully for this years shows I can do a decent screenshot and print it out.  It's mostly about memories for me.   Alot of blurs together now, so it's nice to be able to go back and see what I've seen.

I only started collecting stubs in about 93 so I’m missing a bunch from shows from like 91-92. I think the earliest PJ stub I have is from when they played with Blind Melon and opened up for Neil Young in like 93. There are ones that got misplaced along the way as well so I don’t care about it to much. I do prefer hard tickets though.

I'm all for having a souvenir stub and have saved all of mine through the years, but we can't always have our cake and eat it too. I'm good with the mobile ticket for these shows.

We need to get back to serious business like comparing poster tube weights.

its nice to get a ticket. Nice to look back at a few years later. I make displays out of my pearl jam tours.......they are always A4 sized and its nice to pick them out from time to time and look at the tickets amoungst other tickets for attractions in that city that we took in at the time. Berlin 2012 night 2 did print your own tickets and that doesnt look good at all in that frame .....

But if we dont get them in the future - thats life i guess.

I would definitely be interested in a commemorative personalized hard ticket after the fact. I'm also not going to lose a second of sleep if we get nothing like that.

Kinda bummed about it but it's not worth being too pissed about. I really just enjoy the Wrigley tickets, especially as a Cubs fan. If they offer something, I'd probably purchase it....if not I probably won't remember and assume I lost it next time I look at my stubs. Haha.

On on hand, I don't want to tell anyone how to feel.  On the other hand, THIS is how we should feel.

I'm not telling anyone how to feel, that's just how I feel.....

Isn't the club making arrangements for those that don't have smart phones? That would probably be a paper ticket, right? I think you'd have to contact the Ten Club - just make sure you don't send the e-mail from your iPhone.

I know.  I am kinda telling people how to feel (in other words, they should feel as you do; it's fine to be disappointed, but why get worked up about it?).

Outrage is a strong word but its supposed to be - I swear I will be fine in the end....maybe .  Respect some of the comments here - but do not roll over as a consumer (or a fan) and eagerly offer to pay additionally for a hard ticket (and then complain later about ticket prices).    

Little things add up and if you stay quiet, corporations (in this case Ticketmaster backdooring this policy) will take more and more. Some times you use words like outrage or draw the line on something seemingly "minor" because its the point.  How do you think we got to the point that tickets cost $100 and fees are $25?  Because the small % charged was minor at first.  Airline baggage fees anyone?  11.8 oz. for something that's always been 12 oz.? 

Look, like many of you I grew up with this band (and also like some of you, a ticket stub hoarder) - I will be happy as a clam in *s**t at the Fenway show with my digital ticket bc I'm fortunate enough to have a low 5 digit fan #.  But this band would notice stuff like this 20 years ago. Hell, at one point they designed their own hard tickets.  Still love them to death but just saying. 

At a grander stage, think about companies owning and tracking your social data - was innocuous at first wasn't it? Now we live in a world where they do not have to pay for it.  No big deal, right?  outrage

A clam in shit would be dead. Hope you're happier than that at Fenway.

Did I miss something? Has there been an announcement that they'll be selling something at the merch stands?

no, just some here have suggested they'd be ok with paying for a hard ticket if that option were available.

My guess moving forward as this becomes the norm is that PJ and other bands will create cool digital tickets so we can start a digital ticket album.  Kind of like pictures!  We found a way to look at photos without a physical photo album.

Really?

It's "bootlegging" or copying of an original that I'm not a fan of, you know stickers and that sort of thing.  I though we discussed this on FB already on my stance?

There's a ticket generator that you can do for free.  Just google it.  Problem solved.

There is also a company that can make posters of a ticket stub for that.

Here is a place mat.

hate to bust your bubble, but I have no idea what you're talking about regarding "your stance on FB".
