    A lottery for such small venues would involve much less stress. Just let people enroll (like the normal sales), and then randomly draw numbers of the lucky ones and let them all know at a certain day, set in advance.

    Does anyone know what the % is of people who bought tix yesterday, and how many people from the board got tickets?

    The tix didn't even show 'til about 20 after, and by then they already said temporarily unavailable. Still continued to refresh for a couple hours. Got the buy button about a dozen times, but every time I clicked it, the next screen would say temp. unavail. again.
    Damn, damn, damn!
    Well at least I know there's no more I could've done. I tried. No asking "what if?". It wasn't my fault. Damn how I tried. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I'll survive. Somehow.

    Thanks to PJ and 10C for all your hard work and for even giving us this chance to begin with. The system isn't perfect, but I guess that's just life. You guys are awesome!
    To everyone to managed to get tix - DAMN YOU! :) Seriously, have fun. You guys all better make the most of it. And when you're there, scream once for me.
    My tickets showed right at 200pm on the dot and I used IE so I have no idea what is going on with all this twenty minute later chatter!

    I can't believe I really got the tickets.

    I don't want to jump up and down here because I feel bad for those who also worked as hard and didn't get any. :(

    Like others, I didn't see the tickets for a long time, then temp out of stock for quite a while, then finally a buy button that didn't work for at least 20 minutes straight before finally getting in the cart.

    We all knew this was going to be difficult with small number of tickets available.

    Some of you will end up getting the extra tickets (geez, please don't give up your first born for this! ha) or hang around at the venue - likely someone there will have extras.

    But don't cave in for anything more than face value. We'll hunt 'em down!

    Bobby and I will see you there!

  • I work for Jetblue and could hook you up with 2 round trip buddy passes for your extra Vic Theatre ticket... They are good for anywhere Jetblue flies and would save you hundreds of dollars(if not about a thousand!).... The passes are good for standby use, but since I work here, I can tell you which flights look good to go on. Cross country flights cost $52, medium haul flights are $30(ORD to JFK) and short hauls are $15(JFK to BOS for instance) each way. Therse are also good for multi city trips in the same day. You can fly from Chicago through JFK to the Bahamas, Aruba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic etc. The only extra costs is for taxes if flying international.

    Please let me know if you'd be interested or if you have any questions about these. I can give you my number at work for you to verify the legitamacy of this offer also!

    I would be flying into ORD from LA on Wed or Thurs.

    Thanks!

    Technically its not in violation of any law just 10C policies and as such if 10c finds out who it is they be banned fast.

    Technically...it's illegal for someone without a "Broker's license" to sell a ticket in NYC for above face value. Every state has its own rules regarding ticket scalping/brokers.

    An exciting, rare show opportunity awaits you!

    As you already know, Pearl Jam will be headlining the Lollapalooza Festival on August 5th. In preparation for the big Lolla event, they have decided to perform a smaller show on August 2nd at the legendary Vic Theatre in Chicago!

    We are inviting you all to this special pre-Lollapalooza performance, but the Vic is an intimate little joint and therefore, we have a limited number of tickets to sell. However, we are offering the opportunity for you to purchase a pair of tickets for $150 USD plus applicable fees. No single tickets will be available. Tickets will be first come/first served. These tickets will be general admission, with no early entry. This show is 18 and over.

    The ticket sale will begin on Thursday, July 26, 2007 at 11am PDT. To purchase these tickets, please visit the web-store at http://www.pearljam.com/goods. The pre-sale will end July 28th at 5pm PDT or while supplies last. We expect the tickets to sell out, so please understand that “SOLD OUT” means sold out.

    Before you purchase these tickets, please make sure you are able to attend ... Check with your boss to make sure you have the time off, check your bank account to make sure you have the funds necessary for travel expenses, etc. As a rule of thumb, if you purchase, you are expected to attend.

    Rules:
    * This is NOT an all-ages event. You AND your guest must be 18 years of age to attend. IDs will be checked at the door.
    * You must be an active member as of Friday, July 20, 2007.
    * All sales are final. No refunds. No exchanges. No transfers. No way!

    Instructions:
    1) TO PURCHASE, go to http://www.pearljam.com/goods and click on “Chicago Tickets”. Purchasing a quantity of “1” means you are purchasing a PAIR (2) of tickets. No single tickets will be available. Please make sure the billing address is accurate for the credit card you will be using. Visa and MasterCard are the only accepted forms of payment.

    2) WAIT ... We will notify you via email with an additional confirmation once the pre-sale has ended. This confirmation will contain more information about how to receive your tickets. You can view the successful ticket order in your Ten Club Profile, by logging into your Ten Club account, click on “PROFILE” – your order history can be viewed in this screen.

    3) KEEP WAITING … Ten Club tickets WILL NOT be mailed to you in advance of the show, but must be collected at the box office on the day of the performance. You must be present and show an official form of photo identification to collect the tickets. In lieu of hard tickets, you and your guest will be wristband-ed at the box office, so both parties must be present. Bear with us … this is to help prevent scalping!

    Again, please understand we have a limited amount of tickets, but we would like to give every member this wonderful opportunity regardless of location or seniority! Give love!

    Questions can be directed to tickets@tenclub.net, or by calling toll free 1-800-724-8038.

    Good luck to you all!

    ~10c staff

    This is a private event. No public ticket sale is scheduled.

    When is the next private event? Not for the industry types but for the membership due-paying fanclub members. When?
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...
