thanks, you lucky bastard got one huh....I was up in the balcony chugging the free booze
Ha! You and me both! I laughed because I was ready to pay $12 for a beer, and the bartender said "Have a drink! It's on Sirius and Pearl Jam." I was, um, ok can I have three beers and a Jamo? I have a setlist I can scan. There is also this one.

Not sure if this is frowned upon. My apologies if it is. I also photoshopped this one for my concert buddy! It turned out pretty well! Still surprised that no one has come up with an Ev. Font yet!

Thanks...looks great
I got in the night before, a friend of my GF had his plus 1 not able to make it....he offered to her, she gave it to me ....still blows my mind.
My sister told me a few days before that she had a teaching colleague going to this show, he won the sirius contest. I never met the guy, didnt have a name or anything. So i get in, find out we are in the balcony, far right( looking at stage) there is a guy and his gf who have 2 aisle seats....i offered to sit in one so they could be together.
so now im sitting next to this guy and about 3-4 songs in we start chatting, geeking out. He asks
1) where you from....i say long island 2) we ask each other what we do for a living, he says hes a teacher 3) I ask....where do you teach....he tells me his school district on long island im like oh shit.....do you know Nicole ( i use my sisters maiden name like a buzzed moron) he says no, doesnt ring a bell
there is a little pause....i say wtf, im stupid...i give here actual last name
he goes no fuckin way!!! Its the teacher my sister says was gonna be there....sitting right next to me
I know its a tiny theatre, but come the fuck on....made the show so much more fun and magical....we sent a selfie to her....she had her mind blown
and then to have msg GA the following day....man i am a lucky fuckin dude
Ha! That is an incredible story! I got in two songs. We flew and just went down to Harlem for dinner and the vibe. They told us to go across the street and number our hands, and we could possibly get in if there were extras. So my two buddies and I stood in line and chatted it up with some incredible people. I was number 122 long shot! Some dude comes up with a FedEx envelope and says, "I have tickets for sale; I will get you in $150 bucks." I said, "It's a free show" So I said, "Are these real?" and he said, "Yeah, bro." So I said, "Ok, follow me up there with this ticket." I knew they were fake. So we walk up to the security, and the dude bails right when we get up there. So I show the security guards the ticket, and they get some head guy, they notify some other head guy, and he says he'll take care of it. I didn't want some people to get ripped off! So I return to the line, and we are standing there forever. A crew member comes up and gives three tickets to the people in front of us and three people in front of the line. There was no way we were getting in because it was packed. So we go up to get a picture of the Marquee. Security calls me over and says, "You did a good thing." He pulls out one ticket out of his jacket and says, "I can only get you in." What would you do?! My friends are like, WTF?! I am like, sorry, dudes, I have to go! I felt so bad that I couldn't get them in, but man, I had to go! It was an amazing show and night! I stayed up all night and walked around MSG and Times Square from the buzz!

Wasn’t able to get one myself unfortunately, but someone sitting a few seats over from me did so I took a pic of hers. Can’t complain though- I got incredibly lucky and was sitting in the first row and had the time of my life! It was a truly memorable experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life!

thats pretty amazing, great stories that will live on. Glad it worked out for you. I was thinking the whole time, if this show was never cancelled in the 1st place id prob never go....things came together.
So to add to the awesomeness..... I get to Harlem earlier than my plus 1, hes driving from Philly...I decide to take a crack at improving my Camden tix from sect 204....looking to get into a slightly better spot...using F2F as I wait in my car near the parking garage
I get section 104, row B aisle......2nd row behind that tiny GA section
Freaking crazy........My 3 shows in SoCal I upgraded to GA day of too, LA2 still on floor
What a run
so PJ Madness ends after Camden
2 weeks later....I get pulled over by a cop @ 5am on a Monday morning on my way to work/ pitch black outside...no one else on the road, she tailgates me for over 2 miles with her brights on her headlights ...I had no idea it was a cop, thought it was some drunk or someone who was trying to carjack me....she finally turns on her cop lights in a residential...im like no fucking way. I explain to her i was fearful on wtf was going on, she said i was initially speeding ( i wasnt) and that she was letting me off easy cause she couldve written me a bunch of tickets while i was evading a crazy person on my tail....my buddies wife was hit head on, 2 days prior from a drunk/drugged out dude who was arrested at his hospital bed
Im gonna fight this nonsense best i can, complete dangerous situation caused by this cop if you can call her that
my point, stay in PJ WORLD...The real one sucks ass at times ....my luck clearly ran out

I was #13, helping keep the list & numbering hands (I had to take a break around 70-something, so I don't think we met). Up front, we camped out for over 24 hrs. I tell people that out of 144 only 6 got in. Glad to know it was actually 7
