So you missed out of 10 club and ticketmaster like myself. I'm just wondering what people spent/seat locations to see this once in a lifetime event.

I myself put the mortgage payment off for a month and payed:

$450.00 N1 boston - Orch Box, Row S -- Stubhub
$600.00 N2 Boston - Orch, Row D -- E Bay

I then relized I could have driven to Montreal for a couple days for 1/2 the cost.

    my question is if you had success with 10club tickets and spend $187 for 2 tickets, is it conceivable that you may have 2 tickets to night 2 in middle Orchestra area, if we're to believe 10club tickets are the first 20 rows? So in other words, what you spent on one ticket will be about $400 more for what some will get for 2 tickets.

    $165 for Chicago 1 via 10C
    $165 for Chicago 2 via 10C
    $260 for airfare
    ??? for hotel and food.

    Seeing Ed solo in a small venue = Priceless.

    ScottDog - If you played your cards correctly, you could've come to the Boston shows a week early and caught the Yanks/Sox at Fenway Park and then caught Eddie for 2 shows right after!

    $165 for Boston 2
    $169 for NYC 2
    $166 for Newark
    $166 for DC 1

    Then did trades and gave my extra Boston 2 to a friend, got tickets through the ticketmaster regular on sale helped a random board member get tickets to Newark, and got tickets for DC 1, Chicago 2, and Boston 1 on Ticketmaster which was $178 for each show.

    Pair of tix, Chi1, Balc 1 D = $302
    hotel = $280
    gas to drive there & back from the south = $50,000
    coercing my husband to go to a show to see the other man I love = still to be determined
    being in the same room as Eddie Vedder = worth every damn penny
    And if there's something you'd like to do. Oh, just let me continue to blame you.

    Why didn't you just wait for someone with an extra to comer through for ya? To me that would have been the most logical thing to try first. Then resort to ticketbasted or stubhighhub

    This company runs between US cities for next to nothing, supposedly if you get on early enough and you go at an obscure time you can go round trip for $3, but I've never seen it.

    I don't want my husband to read this. :D

    We got 1 for DC1 on TM for $99
    2 from 10c for DC2 - $170

    then I am driving my gas guzzling Nav to DC from Detroit..so that will be about a million bucks. :)

    We are bringing the kids to see the sites while we are there, so I don't even want to think what we will be spending once we are there...$$$$

    then we need 2 hotel rooms per night....$$$$$

    but again, I agree with you all that seeing these shows is just priceless.

    thats how i went to the dc shows. 2 people, roundtrip, $8.50 for everything. theyre coach busses. sometimes they use the standard coach bus, sometimes they use this big ass bus that says MEGA BUS on it, cant miss it. and it stopped at penn station over here in NY, so it's not like they stop at obscure places either. plus they have free wifi and AC, REALLY worth it! and the cheap tickets dont necessarily have to be obscure times, just like, 9am, depending on the day, and you could book far in advance. sometimes, the tickets are free. i dont understand why, but they are, and to boston too, not bumblefuck wisconsin or something

    DC1 - I scored a good deal on TicketsNow. 2 for $117 each for orchestra $234 for the pair plus $35 handling fee plus $15 shipping. I was able to get free shipping $15 and a $50 rebate through a partnership they have through GE. to about $219 for the pair. PLus thanks to loads of business travel I should be able to score a free hotel room on rewards points. Guess it isn't so bad making the haul from outside Philly to DC for the show. Good luck to all
    So many amazing shows! Thank you.
