Yep! I think you're right. It's just kind of sad. With everything I've read about it, and I am sure the shows are going to be great and a lot of fun--well the PJ sets, I could care less about the other bands--, but I am so glad I did not hype myself up to going and determined to buy tickets and travel. There are so many better ways I'm going to spend my $2000+ and I will still see Pearl Jam again some other day, some other tour.ABQ 93, Las Cruces 95, ABQ 98, Bridge School 10/30/99, Lubbock 00, ABQ 00, Denver 03, State College 03, San Diego 03, Vegas 03, PHX 03, D.C. 03, Camden 7/5/03, NYC 7/8/03 + 7/9/03, Vegas 06, San Francisco 7/15/06 + 7/16/06 + 7/18/06, Kansas City 10, [EV:ABQ 11/6/12], Chicago 13, PHX 13, Denver 14--PJ24!, Telluride 16, Chicago 8/20/16, Chicago 8/18/18, Phoenix 22, Denver 22, Vegas 5/16/24

Montreal for me. Maybe Ottawa too if I can make it happen, but unfortunately not PJ20.___________________________________________

Nice.
Dont be pissed. I'm not.
Its all part of the "system"
The system gets used and abused. In this case, I am stoked for Sawyer. He didnt hurt anyone, or use anyone else's hard earned money. If he doesnt buy them, someone else will. Simple.
Could be like other "system abusers" that have caused an uproar here lately... bankrupt roadtrips, student loans, etc. Just keep a keen perspective on it. I'n not pissed about any of them really.
Might be a news flash to some, but the "system" and the good ole US of A have been fu**ed for some time now.

I agree. I didn't see any gloating in the post nor do I see anything wrong with taking advantage of these opportunities when you have the means to do so. Rock on!___________________________________________

Not really. At first it sounded like he paid $900 for the ticket, but it's only $250 and packaged other shows and that isn't outrageous at all.
Hey if anyone can afford $900 for a ticket, God bless them, but honestly I don't think any one show has ever been worth $900.
Why would I be jealous? That's lunacy.Member 164xxx

I am way too poor to even go, nevermind get the seats that Sawyer got, but HOW IS IT "BULLSHIT" OR "IN POOR TASTE" for
a) them to be selling these packages?
and
b) for him to be happy about scoring tickets?
if someone came on here and said "hey, I just sold my reenk roink and my signed benny to be able to buy tickets to this one show", you all would call the guy a hero for making such a "sacrifice". what the fuck is wrong with these types of packages being around for those who can afford it? do we live in communism now? equal pay and monetary opportunities for all? if you've got the means, you get the spoils. that's it.
I'll be able to afford two shows this year: Ed in Minnie and PJ in Winnipeg. that's probably it. and that's stretching it. If I told a friend who couldn't afford to do those that I was heading to those shows, am I bragging, or is it in poor taste? I would hope he'd be happy for me, not jealous.
PJ has nothing to do with packages that are sold. the promoter is the boss, you should all get that from their mess with Ticketmaster. PJ probably don't even have a clue that this is going on, and why should they.

well, you agreed with smoking baby that a "fool and his money are soon parted". it sounded like jealousy to me. if not, then fine, but we shouldn't judge someone for what they want to do with their money. I also wouldn't go to 100 shows all over the country, but I'm not going to say someone's a fool for doing so.Gimli 1993

I agreed with that post because it's true. Fools who have a lot of money usually lose it all. He can spend his money on whatever he wants, after all it is his. I'm honestly not jealous of anyone or anything. Jealousy is dangerous.Member 164xxx

good for you Sawyer, you're going to have the time of your life.
It is common for venues to sell premium packages.....when a show is booked, the "deal memo" lists the exact number of tickets being sold, and the prices of said tickets. It isn't a mystery to anyone involved.0 -

well of COURSE it's a true statement, but in the context of this thread, it sounded like you and crazy breed were basically calling sawyer a fool for paying that much for a show(s).
you're not jealous. very well then, mosquito. carry on.
