    quick question, when you all dont connect right away, do you hang up and try again or do you wait to get the 'all circuits are busy' message?

    Specifically to those of you who have dialed, hung up, dialed again and won or had them pick up.  I'm trying to figure out if hanging on waiting to hear that all circuits are busy message is worth the time.
    I switched from “wait for the circuit lady” to my current 10-second rule late in the first week. I’ve gotten numbers 3 times and music 3 times, all on the 10-second strategy. But I also hung up right when the music was coming on one time. And I always wonder whether I hung up on my win. 

    YMMV, I guess.

    I am mentally exhausted from this damn contest. Trying to listen in between meetings at work has me stressed the hell out.  And yet I keep coming back for more.

    Hang in there. Four more chances in this contest, so we’re in the home stretch. Listen when you can and F5 this thread when you can’t. Good luck!

    Congrats to Emily
    Back at it tomorrow....
    She doesn’t sound very excited 
    Eh, she said she was shaking 
    I typed it before she said that. Maybe she’s just a much calmer person than me. I’d be screaming and cursing lol 
    From my personal experience people from WV are pretty chill haha, but I may be biased
    I’m from WV and I agree we do tend to be more chill but I would have had change my underwear if I ever got through.

    Congrats to Emily! Being caller 1 today for the FF was totally nerve racking. After making so many calls over the last month and then to hear a voice pick up and say ‘Pearl Jam Radio, who’s this?’ I nearly lost my shit not knowing what to expect.  Made me all kinds of nervous trying to speak to Rob that I rambled hahaha Wasn’t in the cards for me today, but at least there’s two more days to go! Good luck and positive vibes to you all!
    I will not lose my Faith, it's an Inside job today....

    I’m being very sincere when I say, I’m sorry to hear that. These things are supposed to be fun. 

    Hopefully the pain pays off for you in the next 2 days. Good luck!

    Thank for the encouragement.  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel....even if I winning is not in the cards. 

    If I do win, I might be like “nah, i’m good. You can keep those tickets since this contest has managed to make me hate my favorite band.”  LOL. I don’t think I have listened to any band 5 hours a day for 3 weeks in my life....and music is my passion.

    I am kind of half-kidding...kind of.  Getting a busy signal day after day is driving me nuts. I would rather go back to the days of sleeping on a sidewalk to get a wristband over this charade. 🤣 My husband might divorce me if this goes on much longer. He likes PJ, but thinks I am 😜. That is why, pending cancellation from Coronavirus, I will be leaving him home when I go to Stockholm/Copenhagen shows. LOL.

    I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: when I start to despair over my inability to get tickets for this show, I try to think about how enjoyable it will be to settle down in my home three weeks from tomorrow night, open a bottle of wine and listen to a live stream of the concert.

    Yes, that does sound enjoyable but I still want to go through the hassle of driving into the city, trying to find parking, waiting in the queue in the hopes that my name is actually on the list and that I really do have a ticket, then finally walking in and feeling those butterflies knowing the audience is about to witness something special. 

    Ive been to the Apollo just once, it was incredible to be in a theatre with such history. I hope we all get in. If we don’t, I’ll open a bottle of wine at home and listen to pjradio. Sadly, based on the testing with a stopwatch I’ve done these past few weeks, the broadcast will be on a 2 1/2 minute delay 😀

    Good luck to everyone tomorrow and Friday.
