    It's a totally different situation if the band's reps are in charge and everyone is informed of the process by the official fan club and it's monitored and controlled. That isn't the case here.

    Bruce's people have nothing at all to do with the list, though they do accept that the list is happening so it is quasi-official at this point. It is completely fan run and fan administrated.

    And the people who don't go to every show, have no idea of an unofficial list, and show up to actually wait in line should just all eat shit?

    There is one GA entrance and the list is kept there. Even if you've never been to a show before, you would be told about it and the vast majority of Springsteen concert-goers doing GA have been to shows before. Plus, the list is widely known about online. Everyone goes on the list and gets a number on their hand.

    Oh, okay, well I 'd have to hear from more people to know that it wasn't being abused either. But at any rate, the Pearl Jam fans running the lists obviously are abusing the system and allowing it to be abused, so this is actually irrelevant, lol. Doesn't matter what may or may not be working for Springsteen fans (I'd be shocked if what you describe doesn't bring problems to people if random fans are making up rules and enforcing them when they have absolutely no authority to do so, and I'd love to know how well their friends do in said line). A list ain't working for PJ ones.

    Again, none of those things make the list valid. You also left out the second half of my post that doesn't support your argument.

    The list is valid because it is what is done. If you go to a Springsteen show in Europe, you will abide by the list. It's that simple. Bruce doesn't want the lists here in the States so they use the lottery system. Now we know that PJ doesn't want the lists used and that is fine.

    Hard to argue with that logic.

    The logic of waiting your turn to get into a venue is not difficult to comprehend.
    If there is a line when you get to the venue then you wait in that line. What is so hard to understand?

    But people have a list at Bruce's European concerts. It's that simple...

    Any system where people are reserving spots on an unofficial list and then spending the day in museums and such deserves to be shut down. I for one am glad this one was. Love Springsteen but I'm unimpressed by his fan run system.

    So, if you are not in line you are not in line. That clears it up. No more list or taking numbers. If someone cuts you and your line friends, raise shit.

    I would be interested to see if any of these selfish arseholes are prepared to defend this nasty list.

    They never do.

    I haven't read all the posts and therefore apologise I know I don't say anything new. The number on the hand sucks!!! I saw 2 guys in Berlin that had the same number :-O :-O I couldn't believe it, it's so wrong – NOT OFFICIAL – and not supported by the Ten Club. We queued patiently for hours and hours in the super hot sun or in the very cold wind, I couldn't believe that some arrogant, cheeky person came running jumping the queue, saying "sorry, sorry I was here at 6 o'clock this morning I have priority..." but where were you for the rest of the day?? Unbelievable!!
