Hello all!

I live in India, and have never watched Pearl Jam live before! I've been a fan for about a decade, and am hoping to catch the Manchester and London gigs on the upcoming Europe tour.

Few questions: (pardon the ignorance, I've never been to a concert in another country before)

1. Standing tickets is the way to go, right? I've been a Ten Club member since July 2007, so reserved tickets based on seniority is clearly not the option for me. If I get to the venue hours in advance, is it possible to get right up-front?

2. Pre-Sale tickets go on sale to all Ten Club members on the 30th April, but there only seems to be an option to buy tickets in pairs. I will be going to the London gig with 2 friends, and Manchester gig alone. Is it not possible to buy an odd number of tickets?

If not, is it easy to find people on this board whom I could sell the extra ticket for each gig to?

Also, for sale to general public - are single tickets available? I could merge my Ten Club pair with a general for London then.

3. What's the best way to get to Manchester from London, and vice-versa. I'll be on a tight budget, and spending much on travel really isn't a part of the plan. Please do suggest!

4. Anything else you'd suggest so I can have the best first Pearl Jam live experience? : )

(it would also extremely help if you could reply to me by email to anuj AT gigpad DOT com!)

Thanks!
Anuj

1. yes and yes in theory though there's a potential big problem with 10c tickets at least at the O2 since there's different places to enter depending on what it says on your ticket (but you don't get the ticket until at best midday with 10c)

2. yes, pairs only with 10c. you can get singles in the general sale (which for the UK show is no different), but there shouldn't be much problems finding or offering spares here... tickets can get very tricky to get on general sale in London. a tip: sign up (for free) to Livenation.co.uk, they normally have presales the day before (so the 7th for this).

3. in order of cheapness: megabus (as little as £2.50 return), share a car, train but only if you buy well in advance (but you can't yet).

4. Don't get drunk, don't expect anything setlist-wise (if you go in wanting the greatest hits you might get disappointed..hell, most of us here HOPE you get disappointed

), be prepared to sport a very silly

for teh following couple of days.
oh, and the best thing about a PJ concert is the lifetime worldwide friends you make.. they're the one that keep you coming back most in the long run. :oops: ..so if you get the chance to attend pre-parties, post show drinks, share accommodation/transport.. DO.

And if you get stuck or need advice, don't hesitate to PM me

this is really strange with the israelian,,i dont get it,,in sport,in deals are with europe,west,,in eu no,,,america think u are not,,for me israel is like cyprus...your passport belong to eu Einat?

Israel is not in the EU and is not in Europe in any shape or form apart from having most of it's inhabitant being of European decent (but by that account Australia, NZ, Canada and the US are too).. Turkey is at least partly in Europe geographically...Syria, Lebanon are all closer to Europe (even Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco).
Now I understand Einat's frustration because they're never playing her country, but that's no different from people in Asia, Africa and until recently South America.

hell, I got pissed off at 10c because for the April Fool's tour, they wouldn't allow Mexicans to buy tickets to the San Diego show!! that's 10 times closer than 90% of the US and Canada are!
Now THAT was unfair! :evil:

haha, thanks for the advice. i'll stick around on these boards and try and meet up with others fans post-gig for drinks!

and just because i'm a newbie here doesn't mean i'm one of those who'd expect a greatest hits setlist! that's quite judgemental, haha! i like to believe that i am the biggest Pearl Jam fan that there is in India, and that is a pretty damn large country! : )

Dammit...I hesitated with Berlin for just a few hours (I was about to go out for dinner when I learned bout the pre-sale)...and now it's gone (this happened last time as well because I wasn't sure I could get to Berlin for the 2006 show) :( ...can it be their allocation of 'early-entry' tickets were really small?

I don't have time to scour through the whole thread, so I apologize if it has been mentioned already...but will there more general pre-sale tickets available on the 30th?

Also, it was a bit annoying to see that the ticket pair cost $187 instead of $142 (which is like EUR 74 per ticket) for the England shows...on tickets.de the tix are going for EUR 56...hmmm not a happy camper

Because sport isn't important? :geek:

Seriously though.. how can a umm.. location.. in the middle east be considered as Europe?
Probably because most middle eastern countries don't participate in most international sporting events, israel is then clumped into the Europegroup. Geographically however this is false.

And I agree, I'd like to see PJ go to Africa before anywhere else they've never been.
There are now so many stable countries in Africa now, imagine a PJ concert in Rwanda or Botswana? I bet there are some fans there. Plus I could go on safari and see PJ at the same time.. heaven.

Yes, for everywhere but the Northwest.

pearl.ju · April 2009

Is there any chances they will add other european countries????

Jazzmann · April 2009

I've got a pretty amazing summer in front of me. Three Springsteen, seven U2 and two PJ.

KV264853 · April 2009

As a dutch PJ fan I started dreaming:

13 Aug - Rotterdam - Ahoy*
15 Aug - Berlin - Wulheide**
17 Aug - Manchester - MEN Arena***
18 Aug - London - 02 Arena***

21-23 aug Lowlands Festival Netherlands.....

In the pearl jam 'news text' on the O2 website, it says that pearl jam are looking forward to come back to europe for a full fledged tour in the months after the release of their new album. So it seems these 4 shows is all for now, but that they will be back very soon

We will see I guess.

Is it just me or have these tickets become pretty expensive lately? I'm looking at the Dusseldorf ticket which was half (!) the price and even the last Berlin show wasn't this expensive. I can't all be because of the crisis, can it?

I don't agree with your comments at all there. But, you're allowed to have an opinion, even if it's false. I would love for PJ to tour the globe and discover new exciting places and faces; they shouldn't fear leaving their safe havens for a little trip of exploration.

It must be because they're covering costs for flying in for fewer shows... If anything, the crisis should be a force to drive them to cut down costs for their fans, but, on the other hand, they must think the fans have a clear mind to make a logical decision about going to one local show, not going overboard with funds they don't have... They couldn't be further away from the scary reality...

I'll second that...

Pearl Jam, Ben Harper, Radiohead, Faith No More, Nine Inch Nails, The Mars Volta, Pixies, Depeche Mode... All in one summer...

Finally I can check 2 bands from my must-see-bands-list (FNM & DM)...

Only thing missing is John Frusciante, and this summer would be complete...

happy_larry · April 2009

i,m up for this!! been the lone cumbrian on the boards :shock:[/quote]

I'm a fellow Cumbrian, Kendal born and bread (although I've been living in Leeds for a couple of years)

I'm so excited about this, roll on the summer, first Neil Young at Glastonbury and the PJ in Manchester!!!!

Past political ties mainly, and their cultures aren't really similar with any of the countries around them. Not complicated really.

Israel participate in Europe for sporting events for political reasons, they were frozen out of middle eastern sporting organizations under Arab League policies and joined the euoprean ones (UEFA etc). (The middle east does take part in sports you know. )

I even got my purchase confirmation email 5 minutes before the announcement one :roll:

I never even got an announcement e-mail, someone forwarded me a story about the tour from NME.com this morning and I came here to find that the presale was already a day old! There were London tickets still available, however, so I don't really care any more.

Thanks PJ, and thanks 10C - just remember me next time :-)
