For the first time ever, fans will have the opportunity to see some of the
biggest names in rock together on one stage as tickets go on sale for the
network's third annual "VH1 Rock Honors" event paying homage to legendary
British rock band The Who. "VH1 Rock Honors: The Who" will be taped on
Saturday, July 12 from the Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles and will premiere
on VH1 on Thursday, July 17 at 9pm (all times ET/PT) with tribute
performances by Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and The Flaming Lips.

On Friday, June 6, pre-sale tickets will go on sale to WHOLIGANS, members of
The Who Fan Club (thewho.com). On Saturday, June 7, pre-sale tickets will be
available to members of The Ten Club, (pearljam.com) and to the Foo Fighters
fan club (foofighters.com). Members of the Ten Club can expect more
information about the pre-sale to arrive in their email inbox in the near
future. The general public on-sale will begin on Sunday, June 8 at 10:00AM
(PDT). Tickets will be priced at $300, $125 and $65, not including
applicable service charges, via http://www.ticketmaster.com and at all Ticketmaster
outlets or by calling 213-480-3232. Ticket sales are limited to four (4) per

This year's event will deliver a night of high-voltage tribute performances
by Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and The Flaming Lips all leading up to the
spectacular grand finale performance by The Who as they rock the stage.
Additional performers, presenters and special guests will be announced as
they are confirmed. As a result of The Who's revolutionary and era-defining
influence on rock music, this will be the first "VH1 Rock Honors" that
salutes just one band.

    I had a feeling that we'd get an announcement today, but I hoping that it was going to be about a warm-up show, not about an event that we already knew about

    High ticket price, and no other PJ shows in the area, which means less out-of-towners......should make for little trouble in getting tickets!

    Maybe everyone will get on stage at the end and do it together? I don't know.

    Looks like no warm-up show in FL.

    That is very cool the 10club will have access to tix.

    300 though for a good seat.

    I guess i'm getting old because that seems really pricey to me.

    when I first heard about this, I figured PJ would be singing one or two songs, most likely Who covers, but with foo fighter and Pearl Jam fan clubs selling tix it sounds more like full sets... anyone have any info on this?

    I'm curious as to what the Lips will be doing for this too. Not a band I'd normally associate with the Who, so it'll be cool to see what they bring out.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    The show is a benefit, so it goes to charitable causes.
