Do you Believe in The Secret?

I have been a fan since I saw the Jeremy video on MTV when it was first released. I have been to 6-8 concerts, don't keep precise track, but have seen the band every time they have been in the DC area except for the DAR show with Neil Young, including this year.
When I found out about Eddie's solo show, I had never felt more confident about getting tickets. All of my instincts were telling me this was meant to happen. About a year ago, my son got into trouble with the law, a minor offense. He had just been accepted to college and had everything going for him. But, what can I say, he's a stupid, naive teenager. At the time, all the buzz was going around about The Secret, which broken down to it's simplest form is the power of positive thinking. When my son was scheduled to go on trial, I would not allow myself to believe he was going to be prosecuted. He wasn't. Not even PBJ. I have since used The Secret to bring about other positive events and thoughts into my life.
My best friend and I share a membership to 10C. She pays for the membership every year, I get the tickets. I used The Secret to make that happen. When tickets were about to go on sale, I had pictures of Eddie during the Verizon Center concert at my desk and I was listening to the In the Wild soundtrack. When I logged on for the pre-sale I had the buy button, only to discover that our membership renewal had not been processed, apparently the check got lost in the mail and my friend didn't think to follow up before tickets went on sale. Would have been too late anyway.
Ok, there's still Ticketmaster. We both tried. Nothing. It occurred to me last night, that I have not exhausted all options. I still believe I am supposed to be at one of those shows. I log onto Ticketmaster every day in the hopes that by some fluke Warner Theatre has released additional tickets.
So, I'm reaching out to the last place I know of . . . the fans. I truly believe that someone is out there who is in a situation to be able to sell me two tickets for the Solo Eddie Vedder show in Washington DC. I know this thread will get buried in all of the other threads, but I'm not going to let it. The concert is only a few weeks away. If you are the person that is supposed to complete this circle for me, send me a PM. Most of you will think this is just some random plea just like everyone else who wants to go and wasn't lucky enough to score tickets. That's fine. Because somewhere out there is the person who has been picked through fate to make this happen. I will revive this thread periodically until the concert is over and I can post my memories and pictures for all to see. Thank you for your time.

You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

The secret sure has a way of making it difficult to get tickets.

They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
My advice:
go to the show, think good thoughts and you'll make it in.
oh yes, and bring cash :-)

How much cash? I've never done that before.

Sorry, I'm not savvy on this stuff. What do you mean by agencies?

Don't mean to sound ungrateful or stupid, but is this place reputable. I've never bought tickets like this before.

Better than ebay. At least you can call your credit card to dispute any charges with stubhub. It maybe a bit more expensive.

Follow the angled light.
Follow the strangest tribe.
as for the secret...my exbf's parents gave me that book...a few months later I moved and I put about 50-100 books out in the extrance to my apartment complex for people to take for free. The next day, all the books were taken, except The Secret.
The secret is that I wasn't aware of StubHub because I'm not one of those people who obsesses over going to concerts, mainly because I can't afford it. So I reached out and someone clued me in. You all thought someone was going to sell me their tickets, but that wasn't what I was looking for. I needed the answer and I invited it in. If you don't buy into it, fine. Spare me the pessimistic, negative comments. I asked for, I got it, that's all that matters.
You all saw the message, that person got a vibe to check the message board and saw my post. Come on people, expand your horizons. Dare to imagine there is something more than fancy houses, nice cars and how you look. It's been out there since the beginning of time, our world is just too noisy and we can't hear it. Love you guys. Have a great weekend!! I'm stoked.

Good for you Bearfoot, but all this is a tad kooky for me. It seems odd to me that people need a book to teach themselves to have a postive attitude. My policy is expect the worse and hope for the best. The best doesn't always happen but at least I am bettered prepared when the worst does.
Hey, if it works you, have at it, but your "request" for tickets does seem like nothing more than a fancy request...a commercial or ad, if you will. Your ad was just a little more elaborate than most similar ones around here.
Also, I don't need a book to teach me not to lust after material things as you suggest....as I suppose many others here don't. And, I ain't worth a shit at keeping secrets

At this point, I'm not questioning it, because yesterday morning I was bummed out about not going to see this show and now I'm going. Something, somewhere told me to reach out on this message board. Usually, when I read this board, I become very cynical because there is so much underlying negativity that I don't believe reflect the music, the philosophies of the band, but to each his own. But I truly believed that it was going to bring me what I wanted and that's AOK with me. I continue to believe in things unseen.
