Pearl Jam at The Apollo

The one like is from PJ radio so I at least got their attention! (And yes I know they've liked others too haha)

Haha haha 

Some advice for future Sirius contests like this. If it's in a venue that's close but not directly in your home local change your account address to match with where the contest is. 

I won Sirius Phish tickets in December when they sent similar email directed to Philly area listeners. When the Pearl Jam show was announced I changed my account address to my Pearl Jam touring buddy's address in NYC to make sure I got the email and it worked.

If you don't "win" a ticket through conventional means don't give up. For Phish fans with the approval of Sirius/Pandora started a standby list. They just wrote names in order of when they got there as early as noon that day. Closer to show time they all reconvened and lined up in order across the street. Once Sirius/Pandora knew how many unclaimed tickets they had left they went right down the standby list in order. At least 230 people including my neighbor got in that way.

Can confirm the stand by list. I also won tickets to the Phish show (hoping I didn't use up all my luck on that). They let a ton of people in that didn't come with tickets. But, I don't know if it was necessarily unclaimed tickets. One person told me they let them in and told them to find a spot. I was second level and there were people who posted up in the aisles. Not sure if the Apollo will allow the same thing to happen, but yeah it could happen

Just got my golden ticket! Just got the email from Sirius contest I'm in! Guessing it's from the bootleg question lottery.

Whoa! Really? What did it say? Congrats that’s awesome!

Email came at 7:47 pm EST. Sender was something like confirmation@siriusxmevents. Me plus guest. Arrive with guest 630-730 to check in. Show starts at 8. Busing concert goers out after show

That’s Way more info then my confirm email from song of the week. Lol.  

Thanks for posting the second play tonight.  I was able to break away and check the boards out and caught it just in time for one more try.  Got a busy signal once which was at least better than all circuits busy.   So I wonder how they are going to do this 10 biggest fans?  What if it was based on number of hours listening over the past few weeks assuming they track that type of thing.

I live in NY area and never got email for PJ or last year for U2. Not sure why.

What city do you have on your account now?

When they announced the contest I changed my account address from my regular Philly suburb one to my friend who I'm going with office address in Manhattan. Will change it back after the show

@kosteva2 what do they mean by bussing people out? Where they bussing them to?

Providing bus transportation to Penn Station, Grand Central, Union Square, Columbus Circle, etc. Not sure if there's subway or cab line issues around Apollo that they want to clear people out of the area more efficiently 

Thank you for clearing that up. Like I said, my email told me nothing other than confirming I won and to stay tuned for more info. Congratulations! I hope more of you won this l! Check your emails folks.

I didn’t get an email 😩☹️

Could be good news. They've sent me emails saying I haven't won for Sirius contests in the past

Thanks 😊
