    Fuck, I have the money to get there, but I'm not 18, and the parents wouldn't allow it anyway...
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    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.

    Tom Petty played this venue a few years ago and also did the "pick up day of show with ID deal"...shut all the scalpers out...and I was able to go :)

    PJ are a damn cool band to being doing this for us all !!

    question:
    Does anyone have any guess how much the TOTAL price will be?
    I know the base price is $150 but how much are the applicable fees?


    As Speedy would say, ''who gives a rats ass what the fees are''. :D

    Vic is general admission, but it's small enough that you'll be fine as long as you aren't standing behind someone 7 feet tall

    Don't worry--I don't think you are being an asshole! I would ask for the same consideration if PJ was coming to or near my hometown! I promise not to buy the tix until I know I will land by 7:00 PM--hopefully everyone here will do the same!
    Thanks!!
