    Listen. (read?)

    From post ONE, I stated my discontent of pearljam.com NOT announcing this show. That was my only beef. I pay dues every year-- shouldn't I be aware of every pearl jam show? 10C or not--- the shows should be announced.

    a 'heads up' would've been nice. That's been my point all along. As a paying fan club member, I feel that this show should have been announced.

    'entitled' is a strong word but I agree with the sentiment. The people that live at this website were rewarded while everyone else was penalyzed. From now on, I will pay more attention to this place--- they don't update their rss feed so I'll check in 4 times a day.

    So, how was this show announced? if it wasn't on the Pearl Jam fan-club site?

    I think that this show should've been advertised on the fan-club site. What harm would that have been?

    word of mouth mostly... a few news articles... i heard rumors about it roughly two weeks ago
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    Thanks. I'm with you. I think that the Beacon show(or any other concert, for that matter) should've been posted on the FAN-CLUB site. Personally, i would'nt be able swing the show, but be that as it may>IT SHOULD'VE BEEN POSTED!!
  • jimbojones1138jimbojones1138 Posts: 3,640
    perhaps they wanted to avoid yet another clusterfuck that usually ensues when pj announces even an arena show, such as the garden... for example the situation where some fanclub "member" who also pays their so called "dues" putting the presale password up for sale on ebay...

    i'm still waiting for my ticket purchases to show up on my CC, so i think they are still busy over there. i made the donation on wednesday and it is still pending on my CC so I think that has to post before they add the ticket purchases.
    i like sound...
  • Red LukinRed Lukin Canada Posts: 2,994
    Is there any jammer who's purchased tix want to help out another jammer? If you're able to grab another pair I'll pay for the pair plus split the donation with you.

    I've left messages, but just haven't heard back yet.

    Holy Shit, this forum always makes me laugh.
    Whats with all the fucking crying.

    1. I dont check this board daily. But if I wanted to know about everything PJ, I would. And some of you should have.(especially when theres a tour).

    2. I AGREE anything relating to PJ, the 10c SHOULD notifiy the members.

    And 3. BE HAPPY FOR THOSE WHO GOT!!! Just be happy theres a tour this summer.

    I got shut out of a lot of shows, its not the end of the world.

  • To all the people who are all in a tizzy about this show not being announced on the site or pretty much anywhere noteworthy, don't you get it??? PJ dosen't want you there :-)

    Your too hardcore about the band just ending up driving webmasters and charity organizers insane.

    I have to admit though, this board is a better place with all you crazy people. It is a lot more fun to read someone thoughts who are really not all there.

    Since they are trying to raise $3M, they probably figured it would be useless to alert us via the message board or 10C. I mean, we are the ones who complain endlessly about $40 zippos and posters. Not exactly the group of high-rollers they need to target.

    People really need to stop complaining. This was on the message pit fucking weeks ago. And I agree if people can't buy a $40 how lighter can they drop
    five hundred on a benefit show? Oh and fuck your $20 dollar membership fee and should you also be notified every time Ed takes a shit? Oh and covered in bliss there are still tickets left. So what are bitchin about? My buddy just scored this morning. I really wish people would just stop whining ten club does alot for us posters, tickets, etc.

    Ouch, you called 2 days ago and just got a call today? I left a message last night. So is it safe to say I shouldn't wait around all day waiting for a call?

    Hey Wendy - you say you just got a call today. May I ask when you left a message?

    Congrats on the tix. Oh and are any of the price levels sold out?
  • blazedoutbeeblazedoutbee Posts: 254
    My buddy just said that the balcony seats are sold out! He grabbed the last 5 tickets at 250 and 350. Just scored them minutes ago!
  • I have been following this since Wednesday and have not gotten through yet, maybe today is the day!! Congrats to all those who have gotten tickets. In my opinion I don't think it matters who announced this show. It would have been nice if the band had announced it some way, but not everything works out. As long as the money is made for the charity then it doesn't matter in the long run how word got out, as long as word got out. Hopefully all those who want to get tickets get and it ends up being an amazing show.

    Why are you angry; I thought you grabbed tix...thanks for the heads up that all but the floor is sold out.

    Got my return call about a half hour ago, a pair at $350/each. I left my message on Wednesday around 4pm.

    I did get tickets but I feel for the cash strapped Pearl Jam fans. Sucks that only 2800 people get to see the show myself included. These will sell for twice as much on ebay.

    Nothing is sold out. I got $250 level.

    I left my first message on Wednesday afternoon - left 2 additional (tried VERY hard not to be a pest). I also sent an email to 2 different addresses. I didn't want to keep her on the phone too long but I did ask what message she was responding to - a list of 500 voice messages..........

    She was very cool and into PJ:)

    ive learned that when it comes to pearl jam shows, trying very hard not to be a pest is thrown right out the window..
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...
