R&R HOF Tickets....what a joke

xavier mcdaniel · February 2017

I didn't even bother, since it's two or three songs, a speech and is on HBO the following week.

Should've had it at MSG.
How would that help with tix?
Are Barclays & MSG about the same seating capacity?
Yes. From wiki Barclays holds 1,000 less tix.

When you google their capacity. It's about 2600 more seats at MSG. And I like MSG better

In my experience, 7-4 days prior for arena events is the way to go. Start watching at 20 days out.

However, I dont know why anyone would goto this for only 3 songs and 6 hours of talking, OMG. How many EvenBros get escorted from this show.
My guess is that perhaps people are going to support and congratulate the band and not treat it as a full concert experience. There are also other bands being inducted so it isn't all PJ all of the time. Perhaps not your thing at all and that is fine. You have to know your limits. I have plenty of friends here excited about going and I am thrilled for them! :plus_one:
Never cease to regret posting to these boards...just so you know "You have to know your limits" is snarky and uncalled for. I was merely sharing my ticket strategy and reminding people this is not a "full on show" so it may not be so bad to lose out. Have a great day.
Snarky and uncalled for?
I think RS65573 thought that "you have to know your limits" was actually directed at RS65573 and not just a general statement.

Tip: I find that the word "one" -- as in "one has to know one's limits" -- comes in handy when dealing with a bunch of narcissists on a fan club's message board.

It was meant as a general "you." I thank you for seeing that.

Pearl Jam aren't big on self celebration so it will be interesting to see how this goes. I'm think that's why the PJ20 weekend wasn't as good as people were expecting.
TBH, I'm a little surprised they are embracing this RnRHOF as much as they are, considering what a stink they made about the Grammys, and the whole 'awards for art' thing.

I'm not trying to be a fly in the ointment, and if this has been brought up in another thread, my apologies......... But it is somewhat contradictory IMO, especially considering how Ament stuck to his guns about the Grammys in the PJ20 documentary.

I can't say this enough; I'm not trying to take away from anyone's enjoyment or anticipation of the show, it will be an awesome unique experience (I tried to get tix myself!), but like I said, I do find it a bit contradictory, but whatever....... I'm still a fan for life.
I haven't really seen them embrace it that much though. I mean, they sent an email when it was announced and then about tickets and there was a tweet or two but did they even put out an official statement?

I feel like it'll go pretty much like all the inductions go - Neil will make a great speech, a cool video will play, they'll give a speech, and then play 3-5 songs.

And if I can find tickets for less than $200/each I'll go.

That's a good point, they're not going overboard to promote it. I suppose I'm over thinking it.

Good luck scoring tickets.

If you did not mean it that way, my bad. From the entire context, "Not YOUR thing, know YOUR limits", sure doesnt read that way. I really didnt mean to argue with anyone.

I thought everyone here had at least heard the uniondale boot, let alone were there, again, didnt mean to reflect some political judgement.

And I dont think im a narcissist...I dont do facebook, dont have 100 shows in my footer, but hey, ya never know.

Im just a huge PJ fan, forever, like you guys.

Honestly, I was invited along on the big friend road trip to the induction ceremony. Though extremely thoughtful and I very much appreciated being included, I declined for many reasons. Perhaps some of my "yours" rolled over into it. I do apologize for that. I really didn't mean it to be a bitch.

Now when the week-long pop up store with 10 posters and 5 daily limited edition shirts opens up, then I'll come back and eat my words.

Haha, they're such total sellouts.

What a nightmare. I'm with you SVRD - thinking there will be plenty avail. on re-sale sites at semi-reasonable prices closer to day of show. That being said, if anyone has extras (single or pair), please PM me! I have cash or posters to trade.
I wonder if ANYONE here got tix today!?!?!

I got tickets during the HOF member presale. I figured it would be high demand during the public sale but I honestly wasn't expecting it to be this bad. The HOF presale sold out in about 4 or 5 minutes though

R&R HOF Tickets....what a joke
