    If i was a phillies fan id be pissed, thats an absolutely impossible decision to make, pearl jam closing down the spectrum or the phillies in the world series. Under normal circumstances id go with seeing the phillies, you figure youll see PJ again soon enough, but this aint just any concert, its the last ever show at the spectrum! its gonna be epic!

    Im a die hard met fan , dont know what id do if i had to choose between the mets in the world series and PJ, gun to my head id probably go with the mets. I know if i went to the concert the entire time id be checking for updates on the game, cant enjoy PJ to the fullest doing that

    How does anyone have tickets to the World Series already? Is this true?

    I'm a Giants fan so love seeing the Dodgers lose and stoked that it looks like it will be Phillies in Philly when I'm all Phillified.

    Easily, if you have a season ticket plan, you get your tickets to the playoffs, before they start.

    Such a no-brainer. I promised on that other related thread that I won't elaborate on my opinions of baseball. I am really glad the Phillies are going to eliminate the Dodgers. I live in LA and Dodger Stadium sits between my work and my house. They schedule their games so stadium traffic coincides with rush hour. They do this because we don't have a mayor. So if the Phillies win, I can drive home from work in peace, relatively, for 6 months.

    As for PJ vs. World series game, PJ by far. Tivo the stupid game. They're all basically the same. Just the stakes are different.

    I'm a partial season ticket holder and we are told which games we get. There is also a public lottery but I'm not sure if that happened yet.

    This is a horrible problem. I have PJ tickets for the 28th and will miss watching game 1 on TV as well as tickets to PJ on the 31st where I will miss game 3. The stadium lots will be amazing next Saturday with tailgating a plenty. Should be an awesome day of chilling. It is going to be very hard to enjoy PJ. I guarantee you will see a bunch of tickets open up for the 28th & 31st shows if the Phillies end up beating the Dodgers.

    INCREDIBLY tough. I'm freaking out right now just thinking about it. I'm trying to humor myself with the thought that at least they are not clinching games. :roll:

    Well, it's looking as though people will have some difficult choices to make after last night. I went to game four last year, and it was a blast. However, I wouldn't miss these shows unless the game was a series clincher. It will be awesome to chill in the parking lots all day, though.

    Very good point about seats opening up. I don't think any seats at the concert will be empty. The people who want to go to the concert will go to the concert. Maybe some who got shut out of tickets will get their chance. And the crowd might end up being better than it would have been. Because the people who are there will really want to be there. To me, no brainer. I can't travel to Philly. But if it were happening in LA and I had a choice of a Dodger game or a Pearl Jam concert, it would be Pearl Jam without any hesitation. In fact, after I hit this submit button, I'm going to buy my LA3 boot.

    I had Dodgers tickets for Game 1 of the NLDS, which happened to fall on Night 4 of PJ's L.A. run. That one was a no-brainer for me -- I sold my Dodgers tickets and saw Pearl Jam.

    But that had a lot to do with the fact that I had tickets to all the other NLDS and NLCS home games, so missing the first game wasn't really a huge deal.

    If, however, I had tickets to see Pearl Jam on a night when I also had Dodgers World Series tickets, that would be a much tougher call. I've waited all my life to see a World Series game involving the Dodgers, and you never can take for granted when the next opportunity will be. Thus, as much as I love Pearl Jam, I can't imagine missing a World Series game for them. The only exception would be if I had the chance to sell/exchange my tickets for a different World Series game.

    Okay to throw a wrench in the equation.... What if you pick up your fanclub tickets and you won the lottery? :o
    If there were no Angels would there be no sin?

    I'm ridiculously torn between the 2 as far as 10/31 goes...

    but i think its gonna come down to this: You can check updates on the game from the concert; you can't check updates on the concert from the game. PJ on halloween looks like the winner.
