So I'm finally doing the multiple show shindig. I'm going to Hartford and the two Mansfield and I am fuckin stoked. Gonna be my second(third and fourth as well, I suppose 
) time seeing the guys. I was just doing up my funds and it looks like the whole trip is gonna cost me roughly 500. That's tickets, hotel rooms and gas all covered. I think that's pretty fair, I was just wondering if you guys thought it was decent as well. I'm not asking you to reveal how much money you spend, cause that's personal to everyone, but I was just curious if thats a normal amount for you crazy folk that go to half a dozen or more shows a leg(God I wish I could).
I dunno, I just wanna talk about the tour for the next 60 days to keep me occupied. Also...whoever is on the lawn in Hartford, let's rock that fucker up, yeah?
Cheers

I tend to spend a lot on food and drink.
Easily drop $100 a day on food and drink when travelling
and if you want any merch, that could easily be $50-100.
yeah and, in my case $200 on the "extras" for a four show run.
man needs his greens you know
second, $200 for 4 days? and eight a day??? thats a serious habit, man.....thats like some method man/redman shit
I always take more then I need. Better to have more then not enough.
I can't wait!

I am not worried. And I am referring to the specially grown organic Japanese wasabi flavored micro watercress
What the hell are you talking about?
I like the organic quality greens man, that costs money, its not quantity its the quality. But I pay whole foods prices to get em.
EDIT and I said a four show run, not four days!!!!!! Its more like a week and with friends ya know!
just plane tics and hotel are adding up to close to $2,000 bucks
not including food posters etc.... And with that said the Ed show
cost me around $1,000 hotel gas food, zippo poster etc....
so 5 bills is pretty cool...
You had to mention that zippo? LOL
EDIT: Oh wait.. that was to Patrick.. Now to the original poster:
You could sell yourself on the street corner of (insert town here).
I'm spending quite a bit, and worth every dime.

Costing me a fortune. But this is my vacation this year, (along with a new kayak) so I am happy as a pig in shit about it!

Heh, $$ spent before it even reaches my checking account. What a way to live!
The rest goes to the house fund.
my guess is 350 in gas both ways total, 400 for hotels splitting with a bud in NYC. and food...that'sll cost some $$$ probably 35 a day not to mention sight seeing, posters, shirts, and other junk I buy.
So I am saying a cool G....worth every fucking penny to see them in DC and MSG 1/2
We try to economize on food, bringing quite a bit of our own to save funds. Pearl Jam isn't the only band I'm traveling to see this summer so I have to do my best to economize where I can.

So having taken that vacation we are only doing West Palm Beach, Tampa and Camden night II as we are all out of vacation time.
West Palm Beach and Tampa are hometown shows so we'll be able to save in hotels, only spending in gas and tickets to the shows plus merch.
For Camden we're rooming with Zanne and her BF so we are splitting the hotel (which works out great not only do we have great company it saves all of us money) and of course the plane tickets but not to bad though in between plane tickets hotel and tickets for the show we are spending $500 for the 2 of us (maybe some more if we add food)
I think that if spending money to see your favorite band (and you can afford it) is what makes you happy then you should always go for it....
He then has a 'sober' driver to take us to Hartford and back.
The next day back to Taunton where my girl lives 10 minutes
from the Mansfield shows.
Other than the tickets and maybe a tank of gas not much.
hotels there are alot of us in together, making it cheaper! and gotta work out transport details yet (or finalize them)
it will be costing me alot, but i am coming from australia, and it is more to hang out and travel with my friends that i am doing this!
I am not worried about the money!
I wave to all my Friends... Yeah!
