Spending $1500 for a concert ticket is stupid SHIT.rgambs said:
A normal person who doesn't spend money on stupid shit. You can save 1500$ in one year by shutting off your cable and high-speed Internet. You can save double that in 1 year by buying smart, cooking your own food, eating leftovers and avoiding restaurants. Drive less, buy less, buy smart, care less about money, and then 1500$ is not that much money. Particularly in relation to an amazing experience to put in your memory bank account.what dreams said:

i saw something about crowdfunding a show on facebook and it got sketchy after the thread went on for awhile.
i'm no hater, but the whole idea of crowdfunding a concert is just ridiculous to me.
if people have so much money burning a hole in their pocket, why not donate it to organizations that can use it, instead of your own entertainment??
just my thought on the matter.
best of luck though. i hope you get it."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that in general, and this one sure rubbed me the wrong way.gimmesometruth27 said:i saw something about crowdfunding a show on facebook and it got sketchy after the thread went on for awhile.

Still, someone earns their own money, it's not one iota of my business to dictate how they spend it. (plus, some donate regularly or even not, but without fanfare).

It isn't much of a sacrifice if you aren't into SHIT programming!bootlegger10 said:
You are comparing a year's worth of behavior changes to a 3 hour concert. Sounds expensive if in order to pay for it you have to give up cable for a year.rgambs said:

It's for charity though, i can see PJ for 80$ like anyone else, but to be part of a charitable event like that would be special.SPEEDY MCCREADY said:

Yeah, really. I'm not sure basically revolving your whole life around saving cash for one Pearl Jam show seems totally reasonable.bootlegger10 said:

But how do people find time to organize the crowdfunding anyway? That's awesome that there is time for that.0 -

Of course it isn't, I never meant it that way. My point was simply make smarter decisions and when something comes up, you will have the money you need, even if you make 12$ an hr.PJ_Soul said:

For me, turning off the TV would not be an option, does that make me less of a PJ fan??rgambs said:

Question for the OP. Forrest Hills has a strict, and I mean STRICT curfew, Is there a way around that?
Also great place for a show they just need to move the bathrooms away from the steps.
Not a bad seat in the house. Good luck.
I'm still on the fence about this (donating) but would be cool to go to.0 -
No no! I didn't mean it like that! I just meant I had delusions of grandeur that PJ fans were a cut above...book reading, guitar playing, non-consumerist artists and free thinkers... I had my head in the clouds lol!jennycoyle said:

The Who is playing there in May, I'm sure PJ could pull it off. Start at 7-7:30 or a acoustic set perhaps? :-) There are a lot of possibilities.tempo_n_groove said:Question for the OP. Forrest Hills has a strict, and I mean STRICT curfew, Is there a way around that?

So who is this "we" that is regularly referred to? An organization? Team? a couple guys in an apartment?
Also, what happens when everyone gets charged when it hits $100K? Where does this money go? Who is going to process refunds if/when it doesnt work out? When does that call get made? How long to process refunds? Is the % taken by Crowdsource going to also be refunded?

We are just fans, yes in an apartment. The money stays with Tilt who have done campaigns for Microsoft and the Foos. Tilt processes refunds. Everything is refunded if a no or we don't reach a goal. Hope his we'll help you decide to support us or not.BCBA said:So who is this "we" that is regularly referred to? An organization? Team? a couple guys in an apartment?

No cable!?!? But my stories!!!!
This is an especially funny thought to me since I just spent $50 for a year's access to iplayer lol
I will agree about the food spending. I'm in the habit of ordering breakfast these days because I can't figure out how to make coffee until I've had a cup of coffee. I blame grub hub and their damn 'order again' feature for this.
