Was the Pearl Jam beetle design used on anything besides the tickets for the Soldier Field show?

    well my San Diego ticket has the beetle so it was on tix other than just Soldier Field--don't know about "merchandise" but have never seen it.
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    Thanks, I'm sorry, I didn't want to come across as ignorant for thinking it was the only show with the Beetle design. That's why I was asking! Were there other designs besides the Beetle and this guy from New Orleans?

    Wow do I love that price on that solider field ticket. $23 to see what was at that point probably the biggest band on the planet.

    1995 Golden Gate Park was the same Beatle design.

    1995 Sacramento was the same Beetle design.

    1995 San Jose was a yellow and white Mr. Point type character.

    1996 Seattle was power blue with a global grid showing two mean looking planet faces colliding in the center.

    Those are the ones I know about, hope that helped.

    There were actually two sets of tickets for most shows that year, since many of the shows were canceled and re-scheduled after the Golden Gate Park fiasco.

    My original tickets to the Austin show had the Beetle on them.
    Then that show got canceled and re-scheduled, and new tickets were issued.
    The new tickets had Mr. Point (the guy shown in the twofeetthick.com scan) on them.

    Mr. Point also showed up on a T-shirt from that tour, which I own but that hardly fits anymore.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get

    This was actually the impetus for this post. Soldier Field was my first show and I was thinking that would carry an extra meaning for my pearl jam tattoo. So is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Obviously the tattoo is most important to the person who gets it, but do I detect regret from foxymop_stupidmop?

    That sounds cool, I never heard of that before. Anyone have a picture of it somewhere on the ol' internet?

    I figured since we are discussing the man's art, we should give him credit. The artist's name is Jesse Higman and his website is http://www.jessehigman.com/

    I never actually heard the story behind the Munich ticket. Obviously it wasnt a Ticketmaster stub, but I hadnt heard how tickets were issued or by what vendor, etc. Do you know the story Jim?
