i just tried....but i got passed on to voicemail. called back again, VERY nice girl answering the phone, but apparently only one person is in charge of tickets. damnnn.....she's probably at lunch. hahaha. i soooo want to get in! it is worth it for such a show, and truly, GREAt organization, 100% of donations go to the NEED, none to organizational costs, etc....so that's a BEAUTIFUL thing. pearl jam.....beacon theatre...for a NYC charity..........no brainer! now i just need to get tickets!!!

I agree 100%. You'll get them...just don't give up.

Let the person in charge of tickets call you back!

I've been waiting over an hour for a return on my call, but I know if I keep calling its just going to keep jamming this stuff up...

What number are you calling? I just called and was told that if you want to buy tickets over the phone you have to call ticketmaster? Is that who you are calling?

i won't. i am a NYer afterall.
thank bejeebus sloooowwww workday...i can call every hour if need be. i'll give her time to get back in the office and return my call, but in time, you BET i will call back!


tickets MUST be purchased thru robin hood, i don't know who you're calling. call robin hood DIRECT, # is on their website.

I needed a mental health day from work...I didn't realize I would be getting tickets to see what will probably be the East Coast equivalent of Benaroya...and it's for a good cause...

Oh fyi for all...I asked the main operator about why the event hasn't been promoted and she said that they do not usually promote full scale for events like these...so I too am wondering why ten club is not announcing...except my only logical conclusion is they wanted to let Robin Hood members in on it first since they have a history of donating...

Well now I have a history of donating, seeing six shows this tour and if my calculations are correct...the Beacon Theater show will be my 20th show...I could not think of a better way to celebrate...

oh and to everyone that keeps getting the voicemail of doom from the lovely lady selling the tickets...just call back...I got through pretty quickly and was not stuck on hold for the operator forever...it's just luck of the draw I guess...my one suggestion is to donate first, though they will take your order and allow you 24 hours to donate and once they verify your donation you get your order processed

huh?

i knew about this show from another source long before then...had been asked to keep it quiet, so i did. knowing about this show back in january has not made a shit of difference at all. others have mentioned it as well. not to discount ANYone sharing information...just sayin'. even if i just found out about this today, would've worked. knoing i can try for tickets - thanks to THIS thread by possimists - lot more helpful imo.


that said....i had no idea J was gone. i thought he was away on vacation.


i just dislike when people look for 'props'. you share information, thank you and very nice. always great to help out fellow jammers. but looking for 'credit'...just ain't my thang.

No Fear Of Falling

I didnt even know he was banned, just thought he hasnt been around.. what happenned?

Good guy.

Is there a quicker/cheaper way to get from Boston to NY and back without driving?

Right now we're flying into Boston for the Hartford and 2 Boston shows... I'm not sure hwo easy 8+ hours of driving will be to get to and from this show...

Any thoughts?

There’s cheap bus service from Boston to NYC and vice versa. Try Bolt Bus (free Wifi), Fung Wah, Lucky Star or Sunshine Travel. It’s cheap and technically, you’re not driving. The show is on a Tuesday, so you shouldn’t hit that much traffic. Just leave Boston early in the day.

You could also try Amtrak. Yes, it can be pricy, but Frommers recently posted a list of discount codes. Here are the ones valid for the Northeast:

- Code V856 will get you 20% off the price of tickets anywhere in the heavily traveled Washington-Boston corridor, including trains to Philadelphia, New York and all points in between. You just have to book regional trains (not Acelas) and book three days in advance. This code is good for trips at least through Dec. 13.

- Couples get a bigger discount by using V454, which offers 50% off a second ticket (in other words, 25% per person.) That code is valid for travel through Dec. 10, with the same restrictions as the one above.

back on topic:


anyone actually get thru/ order tickets since noon? just checkin'.

smithnic

Do we know that he was banned for this heads up?
If so that's some pretty bad moderating in my opinion. That sounds a bit like AT&T action form lollapalooza if you ask me. Someone says something you don't like and get the news out on a show, and what seems to me to get a whole lot of cash to a good organization and you ban him? Very nice!

i am too....but i am always up for being even more satisfied.
i just know a charity pearl jam gig.....at the beacon....in my city...to benefit charities in my city........it's just too good. the only way it could get better would be to be up front, but THAt is just crazy $$$ for me. the balcony shall suit me just fine. got the green light from hubby, so now all i need are tickets!!!

Did I miss an announcement?

hopethatuchoke

I just read the whole thread and want to clarify here....it's $100 donation and after that you can buy up to 6 balcony tickets for $250 each?

And I can't believe NYPJ was banned. Total BS

pulaski

i just called, and they put me through to a voicemail and i had to leave my name and # for tickets

seems weird...anyone else get through recently?

Yup, or if you're incredibly wealthy, you can buy seats closer up for a LOT more.
