    The Oracle Appreciation Event is engineered to rock with two top acts playing at this exclusive concert. Pearl Jam headlines the evening; additional performance by Kings of Leon. It's going to be quite a
    show—be there.

    Another festival show? Whoo hooo!! :)
    Oh wait! What now? :|

    So to become a member, to attend this, you have to be an Open World member?

    Do you think this will get an official mention on the site, or is this something they're gonna try to brush under the table?

    They did something like this a couple years ago when they played a corporate event for Target in Minneapolis. Pretty sure it was attended by employees only and the band played like 6 songs. Why do I all of a sudden have Pink Floyd 'Money' stuck in my head???

    Pearl Jam isn't playing the Oracle Music Festival. They're playing the Oracle Appreciation Event for $2,395 a head. They're two different things.

    They played 3 songs (The Fixer, The Real Me, Porch) at Target's national managers meeting after the Backspacer partnership.

    wow really?
    i can barely afford the raised prices for 10c membership - now its gonna be 2400 per ticket? ridiculous :nono: :fp: :( :o
  • JimmyVJimmyV Boston's MetroWest Posts: 19,372
    It looks to me like $2400 is the price to attend the conference, not just to see PJ. Am I reading this wrong?

    Just a little insight because I've been to OpenWorld a couple times before for work (I do Oracle admin stuff for my job), Oracle does this every year. They put on a week long conference with technical seminars, training, etc and one night that week they put on a free concert for the conference attendees with multiple music acts, free food & drink, etc. The general public can't buy a ticket just for the Oracle appreciation event (the concerts), you have to be a registered attendee (around $2,500 or so). I think if you are an attendee you can usually buy a guest pass to bring somebody else with you but it's not cheap either (looks like $650 this year).

    Anyway, just thought I'd share what I know about it, I've seen a few musical acts there before (Train, Violent Femmes, Lenny Kravitz). The main act usually plays for about an hour or so if I remember right. Definitely crazy for anybody to pay for an OpenWorld pass to go to this but if you work in IT maybe you could try to sweet talk your boss into sending you to this conference this year :D
