This will be me and my little cousin's first ed solo show. I live in upsate Ny and I took the metro north for both msg shows, but what would be the best route for the united palace theatre shows? Id be driving to poughkeepsie and taking the metro north from there, should we go to harlem 125th street and walk from there, im not real good with the city yet as far as directions go. Just wanna look out for my little cousin he's still kinda young and all this talk about a bad neigborhood and people almost getting stabbed doesnt sound good so am just looking to get there and home in one peice.

No worries. Here's your best bet:
Don't get off at 125th, you'll actually end up doing more walking and have to transfer to 3 trains. Get off the Metro North at Grand Central.
Once there, take the S shuttle train from 42nd St. Grand Central to Times Square (that's all the S does, back n' forth, back n' forth, but you could walk if you wanna, it just gets hot down there, so be warned)
Once you get off the S, you'll be at 42nd St. Times Square/Penn, then you wanna take the Uptown bound A train (to Inwood - 207 St.) Ride that for 20-30 mins (depending on overflow or traffic) to 175th Street.
Exit near intersection of W 175th St and Fort Washington Ave, then walk East. For about 1 1/2-2 mins., go east on W 175th St towards Broadway and you'll come to --- 4140 BROADWAY - The United Palace Theatre ---
Total trip time from Grand Central: 40 - 45 mins.
Less walking & less transfers. Rinse & repeat.

Oh and this neighborhood's fine. Lived around there for 5 months during school. NY is gonna be NY. People get stabbed in Wall Street, Battery Park & the Village too. Multi-million dollar incomes do not a stabbing prevent :P
You guys'll be fine, there be a few cops and you got all us jammers around ya too. No worries

where do you live now? I often wish I lived in Seattle or Portland, OR
I live about 45 miles north of Denver. It's nice, but I miss Maine and the East Coast.

'twas my second pearl jam show. 1st one at the field house on CU campus. they started out on chairs at red rocks and jeff started out playing this cool upright bass guitar. it was terrific but i wasn't close enough! someday...
eddie solo at red rocks would be amazing. his voice bouncing off the rocks... wow!
I must say I am envious, I can only hope some day!

I certainly don't have dialup and EV tickets did absolutely take two hours...here's the general scenario:
1. you prelogin 5 mins before they go up;
2. you refresh madly every 2.2 seconds until the glorious little ticket icons appear on the right hand side of the page
3. you select your show and click the "Buy" button (you begin to wonder what people around here are complaining about and assume the 10c has made modifications to the system)
4. you IMMEDIATELY click checkout (don't dick around, you've only got about 13 seconds here before the thing is crashing)
5. you confirm billing and shipping address
6. you enter your ccard number
7. the system crashes and spits out an error message
8. you panic, but you are somehow comforted in the knowledge that "it must have crashed for everyone else too"
9. in the process of continuing to refresh every 2.2 seconds, you somehow logon to the Pit and see numerous threads from members proclaiming "GOT EM'"
10. you panic again, refreshing now at a rate of every 1.4 seconds
11. the titles in the Pit threads now read "WHAT THE FUCK", "IT TOOK MY CCARD NUMBERS, AM I GOOD", "ARE THEY STILL IN MY CART", "CRAshed?!@, GUYS, IF IT CHARGED YOUR CARD YOU'RE FINE"
12. you call your credit card company and you see the charge has been put through...phew...only then you check the Pit again, thread titles now read , "FUCK, KAT SAYS UNLESS IT'S IN YOUR PROFILE, YOU'RE FUCKED"
13. you try to check your Profile only you can't
14. Refreshing now greets you with a database error
15. The Pit is down
16. The Pit is back
17. 1/2 of the site now loads, the rest has an XML:a adnasfjsjjsdfjksd ERROR
18. Site loads, your Profile shows nothing, there is NOTHING IN YOUR CART
19. Site crashes
20. Tickets are there, but they say "TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK"
21. You continue to refresh every .9 seconds in hopes of seeing the BUY button
22. You check the Pit, the thread titles now read "Temporarily Out of Stock GUYS, THERE ARE STILL TICKETS IN CARTS" (wtf?! why did they pop out of my fucking cart!)
23. In your mad fit of refreshing, you miss the BUY button ("it was FUCKING there!!!!")
24. You see the BUY button and click it! You heart soars, the next page loads and "your selection cannot be completed because the item is temporarily out of stock" you heart sinks
25. After 117 mins of refreshing the tickets are "OUT OF STOCK"
26. You spend the next 2 hours reading threads about how "simple" it was for some people wondering if you have "dial-up or something"
and that my friend, is how you spend 2 hours trying to get tickets that sell out in 30 seconds.
But hey, they could have fixed all that...isn't that what the poster sales were supposed to test GOOD LUCK. You'll need it.
That is an amazing recount of the ticketbuying experience.
All in all though, after having that exact situation happen to me several times, it is just like the old days off lining up outside ticketmaster and getting a lottery number. You get lucky or you miss-out.
Good luck to everyone tomorrow! Good luck to me on Wednesday!
does anyone know what the camera policy will be for this tour? will it be like the first ed ved solo tour or will it be like any other pearl jam tour?
No cameras, thank god! I posted on this previously RE: my husbands preference to tape/photograph every PJ show we've gone too. I'm 1M% happy about the no camera policy on the EV tousr. Finally he'll get to enjoy a show without thinking about a shot

I'm shitting bricks already and will be trying for both NYC (my credit card may spontaneously combust). If by some sheer fluke I manage to secure 10C tickets, I will be offering the 2nd ticket to someone on the Message Pit.
Toronto will be sweet. I wish I could see him there, Massey Hall is an awesome venue.

Same here! I think that's a great idea. If the sale goes down the way everyone's anticipating, it would be a really decent gesture of people who get tix (and obviously don't have a special someone to bring with them) to offer them to the Pit community.
I'm in.
Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.
Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.

maybe they should only offer people 2 tickets to ONE show, so give ones that get shut out a better chance.
