    WE'll have to have lunch one day!!! Orlando is doable since its what, 2 hours or so....I'll worry about the drive if I can get tix. the 3 hr jacksonville drive has me nervous tho. I"m probably going to have trouble finding someone to go with me to Clearwater & or Orlando as is... no one i know here loves the band like I do, and my husband flat out refuses to go :?

    Yes we should definitely meet for lunch! I have a (whole big one!) Pearl Jam friend who has dibs on my spare, but he may not be able to travel to Jax. If I get lottery for Jax and he passes on it, you're welcome to my spare, you can ride up with me.

    I have contacted 2 hotels downtown very close to the venue within walking distance. I am possibly setting up a group rate of $115 a night(parking is extra). The normal is $169. This is an awesome hotel I am told. If there is interest I will do a contract with the hotel so you can call and get the rate. My question is: Is $115 a night too much or would anyone be interested in that rate. Trust me it would be a park at hotel and not have to leave until the next day. If at least 10 people let me know they will book there, i will call the hotel back and make it happen. She is also going to talk to the sales team today and try to get the price down. Any feedback would be appreciated

    I would be interested once I see how the lottery shakes out and the ticketmaster sales. I am definitely hoping to attend the Jacksonville show.

    Haven't heard too much about people interested in hotels? Is that because we are all waiting the "lottery" results on Monday? Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Does anyone know how good the fanclub tickets are for Eddie Vedder's shows? Are they near the stage or could you end up in the back?

    Fan club tix varied. I've been to 4 EV shows and used 10c seats twice. The best seats I had I purchased through a broker (for less than face) hours before the show. Both my 10c seats were probably around 20th row. I know A few other members hit the jackpot and got to sit real close.

    From what I understand, 10c gets about 20% of the house and they are scattered throughout, so it's a crap shoot.

    Last year for Philly, bought 2 tix off broker for $$$, 5th row.
    Went to the show, got upgraded to Front Row, dead center, by Ed's security.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    which venue would be closest to Weeki Wachee, FL? im trying to get deets for my dad/stepmom


    Clearwater is closest. I am about 10 min from Clearwater. I think Weeki Wachee is about 45min -1hr north.

    Easy choice for me, Clearwater! I just live a few minutes away and I have seen many shows there. Love the place! They did add more seats in there so that nice comfy leg room isn't what it used to be but it's still a great place. I hope to get tix for Orlando also but that is up in the air. I have never seen Ed solo so this is going to be amazing for me!


    Same here...I am only a few minutes from there. Ive never been to Ruth Eckerd Hall though, glad to hear it is a nice venue.

    Anyone losing faith at getting good seats during this 10C lottery thing?

    It seems the more and more I read posts, the less hopeful I am getting about getting good seats.

    We are all friends here :D with a little bit of luck we all score nice 10C seats, Florida is not NY or Boston.

    I had good seats in Seattle, but not front row orchestra tickets, they were second tier dead center; so they were far but good.
