If you came back from a tom petty show and told me you had a problem with an audience member id be very surprised. If you came from a kanye show and said the same thing I wouldn't even bat an eyelash. Listen you have a point I'm sure some of these people are flat out racist. I'm not one of them. I don't have to explain toyou that I dated a black girl when i was in high school because this internet back and forth is something I don't feel like doing. Look at who this concert is catered to; drake, skrillex, etc. This will be a young attitude driven audience how can you not see that. Some of us are too old to deal with that atmosphere. I say this even though I'm going. Just can't pass up the greatest live band on the planet

More power to you bro, I'm glad to hear your an accepting individual and I hope to cross paths with you in Philly. I know I posted this once, but I wasn't referring to you.

To recent posters about this thread and it's contents. Let me please point out that I never complained about the announcement or this festival. I'm stoked beyond belief and hope to attend. Sorry if you don't like me calling out people who I think are being racist, but if I don't then I feel like I'm not doing my part to end all that nonsense in hopes of a better world. Someone needs to speak out, and I think this band is proof of that.

and most likely, bud isn't making a dime, more likely they are paying to participate....it's called advertising budget

what beer will sold at the venue other than Bud? c'mon obviously it's a profit machine for Budweiser. Pearl Jam doesn't need this. the strength of their music would sell out venues. a simple Pearl Jam concert would be a fun time. and a Ten Club membership used to mean getting good tickets to that concert. i'm not sure what it means anymore.

fair enough, they sell a few cases of beer....big whooop....

I hope you're not referring to me because I was talking about spoiled white rich kids. If anything, you sounds like a bigot if you assume rap fans are all black. This also leads me to believe you've never been to a rap show. Its full of young ego driven white kids who have no respect for other peoples space....that's who the music is marketed towards.
I have never had one problem with a black person at an event in my entire life. However I've had plenty of
scraps with white kids at shows including one at pj20 who tried to steal my camera and snuck his slut of a gf next to me without a ticket.

By the way, I wasn't referring to you at all. The one guy I was referring to was a guy who commented in the original announcement in the News section of the main site. Then someone who said they didn't want to deal with riff raff. But not you.

Hey no harm done for the record you do make good points about certain people. I remember when they played msg a fan kept yelling about immigration saying " get them all out". I was thinking are you even listening to ed????

Exactly!!! The scene from PJ20 where they play Bushleager and get booed, especially the extended cut on the Deluxe version, makes me so uncomfortable! It's like, what band are you here to see? You don't have to have the same belief or opinion, but don't boo a band that you know what side of the argument they're on. Those fans that night must have been there to see Evenflow and Alive since they know it from the radio, ha.

I just hope it's not like a 90 degree muggy day, because it gets packed in when concerts are on the Parkway:

where the hell is parking going to be? That is just about the worst part of Philly to get to.

Actually it's the best part of Philly to get to - by public transportation - the trains from Jersey are close, there is Amtrak within walking distance, and both the El and Broad Street line are close.

I wouldn't even think about driving in.

But apparently, you will be, so If I were you, I'd find a parking garage around 21st & Chestnut St. and just get out and walk.

staggering.

I happen to think bud tastes awful, but if its the only beer on offer I probably wouldnt think twice

Some of you people disgust me. It's 2012 and it amazes me that anyone under the age of 60 could be a bigot. Following this announcement, I've read people say things like I don't want to fight through a crowd of "rap fans" and we'll have to deal with all the "riff raff". Why don't you just come right out and state you don't like anyone who isn't a W.M.A.

It amazes me that anyone who thinks this way could be a PJ fan. Your thoughts and pretty much your entire existence are everything each band member loaths. And no I dont know them personally, but all you have to do is listen to their music, pay attention to what they support or read PJ20 to know this. I take comfort in knowing you idolize a band that thinks you're scum.

Wake up, open your mind and stop the hate. I hope my kids can live in a world where this BS truly doesn't exist.

You do realize all the "rap fans" at this concert are going to be WMA too, right?

is anybody going to try for tickets this morning? I can't get Facebook at work, so I won't be able to get the pre-sale code. Would someone mind PMing me the code? thanks

i assume that this picture is from Live8? So this would be about half the people in the picture. Which i guess isnt that bad people wise. But this looks like pretty much the worst set up for a show. The people next to the trees cant see a thing and the "island" in the middle seems to block half the audience. I have no problem with them playing festivals but I'm not sure if i want to deal with this place. very torn.

Please play NYC or Hartford or somewhere else near by.

This is probably true. I doubt the guy that said it realized that though.

No, I found it through some random site. I believe I have used that before, a couple times, and it has always worked.
