    So, I've never bought tickets from the goods section before. After you click the "BUY" icon - does it right away reserve you tickets for, like, a 5 minute period or something?

    Or are there more screens to quickly get through?

    In other words, what's the general protocol?

    Thanks a bunch!!! :D
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Is anyone else just a waste of space at work right now?


    All day I have been thinking about tomorrow. I couldn't even eat my lunch I'm so nervous.

    I'm not nervous about getting tickets but I am worried about getting the time off from work. Screw it......I have plenty of sick time.....I'll be in the doghouse at work for a while but I'm damn sure it will be worth it!

    I got the ok from my boss this morning to go :D


    He looked at me and said, ''Patrick you have to go cause I'll never hear the end of it if I don't let you''. hehe



    I'm usually not nervous but for this show I am a wreck. lol

    i found that it's better to sleep the day away than to think about tomorrow. LOL...i'm so anxious. this is worse than NPJAA.

    And no one makes me close my eyes
    So I throw the windows wide
    And call to you across the sky....

    Okay, I'd much rather NOT try and read 46 pages right now so I have to ask:

    WHAT IS THE SHOW TIME???!!!!

    With all this "ask your boss for the day off" crap, is it a day time show? If it is evening, when does it start at? I have to know the time so I can plan on leaving early, etc. if need be.
    I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind - E.V.

    So they don't reserve one for you right away like Ticketmaster does? Then, you have like 5 minutes to pay for them, and then tell them where to be shipped (although that latter step won't apply here).

    That could make all the difference. Because if it takes me longer than a bunch of other people to type in my credit card information - then I'm screwed if they aren't held for the 5 minute period.

    Oh man oh man oh man! What do I do? I've already got the road trip all worked out, but now if I want to go to this I've got to ditch my friends on the ride up. Plus I have to get an extra day off work (I'm going to have to cancel my summer camping trip). Plus I have to get off work early tommorrow to buy the tix. But I can't even imagine seeing PJ in a 1400 capacity venue. I hope my friends and my boss let me do this.

    Cheers!

    the problem isn't the time it takes to type in your CC details, it's the time it takes for each page to load when the server is under stress!
    I have shivers thinking about those excruciating waits for the next page to load..and timing out! during the London sell..and even last year for the Euro shows.

    I've now taken steps to try to minimise that risk (sorry, not telling)..

    I can definitely go. :D

    Yeah, I know - I JUST got off the phone with the friend I'm going with, and she said for me to go for it, it's cool. As for work, I'll have to ask my boss tomorrow (a) If I can take a half day tomorrow, and (b) If I can switch my vacation yet again.

    But has anybody gotten any word on whether there's going to be a poster for this bad boy or not?

    I'm not sure I want to know, because that would be extra icing on the cake that would be thrown in my face if I DON'T get these tickets...

    Does anyone know which is the best airport to land in if you need to take public transportation to the venue?

    Are we required to bring the actual credit card that will be used to purchase tickets to the Vic box office?

    There's not any way of storing credit card info in our 10c profile is there?

    I got an e-mail saying that once the tickets are in our "cart" - then we will be assured that they are ours for a limited amount of time while we pay for them. They didn't tell me how long, though.

    Well, I would never be so nervous, but something tells me that since it's a 10club only show - that it might be the best Pearl Jam concert I'll ever get to see!

    It WILL be the best concert.....I saw them at the Ten Club only show at The Regal Theater here in Chicago in 1994....third row....BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE. But I think I've said that on here before.....lol.
    I'm not lost, but I don't know where I am...David Byrne, Talking Heads

    Regal Theater, 1994--most amazing night ever.

    Yeah, and there may be more 10club only shows in the future, of course. But this is probably as close as they'll be to Wisconsin with one! :D
