    all you have to do is call, donate a hundred, and your in, 250 a ticket, 150 tax deductible, free drinks, sounds like a no brainer to me

    Seems like quite the discrepancy here...for $250 I am making the trip...how did it go from $250 to $10k?

    thats odd, I thought the most expensive were $2500.
    Four ticket minimum?

    No freaking idea. I definitely would be willing to do it for $250. Pearl Jam at the Beacon would be a once in a lifetime experience, because basically every seat in the house is good.

    I wouldn't spend $10k to see The Beatles (if Lennon, Harrison were alive and they happened to do a reunion tour)

    okay tell me what the deal is
  • swallowedwordsswallowedwords Posts: 1,093
    Ok, I decided to call back the Robin Hood Foundation, and I got the real info. You are required to donate at least $100 to the Foundation first, and then you have the option of getting up to 6 tickets. The cheapest tickets are $250 each, and they go way higher from there.

    Anyway, I donated my $100, reserved a $250 seat (balcony). The Robin Hood people will be calling me tomorrow to confirm that I made a donation (via their website) and will process and ship my ticket.

    Woo hoo!!!!

    She also confirmed open bar, and no opening band!!! This will be fucking amazing!!!!!!!!


    (Now, I'm really considering selling some posters to afford this. My beautiful Kenyon Hall may have to go)

    :(

    So it's $100 donation, then $250 for the balcony? So $350 total?
    I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

    A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

    Correct! Of course, if you want better seats, they are much more. I honestly forgot how much they go up after $250, but personally, I'm happy with a balcony seat at The Beacon. I saw The Black Crowes at the Beacon years ago and had balcony seats, and as I said before, every seat in the house is a good one.

    That is on the borderline of do-able. Decisions decisions.

    You will regret it, if you don't. I mean, Pearl Jam in such a small venue and free drinks???? Also, part of it is tax deductible.

    I'm psyched about the other 9 shows I'm going to next month, but this will be SPECIAL!

    Man, I really wish I had the extra cash for this one. The sacrifices of being a college student. I'm already seeing 4 shows this month though, so I'm not too upset.

    I doubt it. You probably just won't be able to get drinks at the bar.

    The Beacon use to be such a great venue but I've heard that the new management/owners ain't nothing like the dayz of old...

    What a shame...cause it was heaven on earth...

    $250-$350 so see PJ play the Beacon? Not worth it. IMO

    Balcony seats are fine for sight lines...fyi

    I'll give you double
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......
