    Yes you made a mistake, after you see them once you will want to see them over and over again. But I don't blame you for not wanting to go to Oaksterdam.
    This...Pearl Jam live, is the crack cocaine of live rock shows.  One qhidd and hooked for life

    My friend had to do some serious convincing to get me to attempt oakland tickets.   Especially knowing they'll probably tour up here later this year or next year.
    That's it right there.  Knowing they might tour up this way later just seemed like a better option, even if it's risky.  My husband and I debated it long and hard.  It's got nothing to do with finances, it was more about travel hassles, booking extra time from work, and convenience. 
    Did you opt for the Oakland tickets in the end?

    Saw someone post on Facebook the other day that they have a friend that works at the arena in Portland and said friend told them that pj would be there later in the year.  Hopefully this works out for you!  Otherwise if you have the financial ability to go to Oakland then do it!  Go to both shows you wont regret it!

    This makes me so happy!  Thanks for sharing that.

    You want an easy first "PJ" show head to Ohana Fest in Dana Point CA.  SUPPPERRRR CHILL
    That's even further for her and more expensive...it is not a PJ show for those who want to see PJ...

    That and no guarantee that Ed will be at ohana this year!  Have people not noticed that he is confirmed at Global citizens fest in New York Sept 26th??  Ohana is Sept 25-27.  I'm betting pj is on tour on the east coast at the time!  I dont see him traveling cross country just to play a 30-40 minute set in the afternoon at global citizens!

    St Louis is only 4 hours from me but I didn't enter for tickets...an unheard of proposition for me as recently as a few years ago. If they play in the Chicago area I'll probably go (unless Wrigley again), but my desire to see them live is not what it once was after 42 shows

    We went with GA or bust.  We both used our memberships to take a shot at GA for each night.   See how that turns out.  If we get GA's, most definitely going.   The hard part will be if we get one pair of GA.  Then we'll have to deal with TM for the other pair :(

    I’ve been to 19 shows and I’m still a “concert virgin” too.
    I’m just always too into the show.

    If you can afford it...do it. You only live once and we don’t know the fall tour yet. Plus who knows when they play agin after this?

    That's my worry for sure.  I figured once the lottery for tickets was closed, I'd be hooped.  Either way, I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best for the second NA leg. Thanks for all the responses!
