Sea. Hear. Now Festival 2020 Update

I don't anticipate this being the best show ever or anything, but just hearing the 1st sounds of their first song is going to be so emotional. Just  to be back at a concert and it being Pearl Jam is going to be priceless to me.  That 2 hours or so will be such a great relief and release of a lot  of pent  up energy and emotions.  I can't wait.

Thanks for all the NJ beach towns that are better than Wildwood reco’s.  Happy to consider any advice on places to stay in those other towns (except AC - I love AC but not what I’m looking for presently).  Not for SHN but to have a few beach days.  

I agree that SHN is not the most desirable show, but I am also of the mindset that I will never regret going to a show that is within reasonable reach of getting to, whereas I could regret skipping.  I missed two shows since 2016 that I could easily have made it to.  Lesson learned.  

My wild card entry is Who Ever Said.

I'm thinking it's going to be a hard start. Corduroy, Go or Given To Fly (he made it to the ocean...). My ultimate start would be RearViewMirror though.  That would be killer.

There are a lot of good options. I would love something out of the box like “Alive”, I also love a hard start particularly for a festival set. But the more I think about it the more I become absolutely convinced that it’s going to be Elderly Woman. 

Honestly, they could play mary had a little lamb 10 times and I would be happy.  Im just really happy to be heading to a pearl jam concert for the first time in three years. Hanging with friends, having fun, toes in the dirty sand, and LIVE MUSIC.

Avetts are great live. Patti Smith is a punk legend (I could see Ed joining her for people have the power to close out her set). Patti Scialfa playing means there is a chance for you know what. Dr. Dog and Matt & Kim are a decent undercard. This has the potential to be a tremendous and memorable day of live music.

Yeah I will be half a mile from the stage, it will be overcrowded, it will take forever to get a beer or food past 5pm, and getting out of there will be a nightmare.  I AM SO PSYCHED FOR THIS!

Love the optimism and right there with you! 

i just bagged 2 GA+ for basically face value, plus fees on the ticketmaster site.

My eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw the listing.

$389, plus fees.  

Next cheapest GA+, $1,550 plus fees.

Boom.

I'm calling Superblood Wolfmoon as the opener.

Boom.

How much were the fees?

It was $920, all in.

The fact that I'm over the moon about dropping $470 for a GA+ ticket to a music festival just illustrates what a fucking insane year this has been.

For the record, I want the 1st song to be Pendulum.

Resale fees are brutal. 

They really are. Both the seller and the buyer get hit pretty hard jacking the price up even more causing even more fees. Really respect what Pearl Jam was able to do for the spring tour 2020 with the face fan to fan. Hopefully that can continue.
