Right folks, as some of you know, I live in Ireland and am sick that I am missing out on PJ20 this weekend. I just got a call from my wife to say that I should just go and worry about paying for it later :shock: I am in shock but I am also all over the place as to what to do, where to fly from/to, getting tickets and transfers to the concert...am I being crazy (obviously yes!!!), can it be done...please people I need some help and advice.

Where do I fly into? How do I get tranfers to the gig? Any spare tickets?

Shit I'm shaking....HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!
I need a coffee!

    Honestly, if it will be a problem to pay for it later then don't do it. Its just a concert. Don't put yourself under financial strain and possible marriage problems for it and f*ck knows the Irish economy isn't anything to be counted on right now. Pearl Jam will be back in Europe again.

    Listen to this guy! It's just a concert, you can buy the bootleg and listen. Concerts are a luxury, you need to think of your family.
