Such a shame that the band has become what they fought against.

You do realize they lost that fight right? They’ve been working with TM again since ‘98. 

If you can’t beat ‘em join em 

What other choice did they have?  They tried to do their own tour in '95 by either using dilapidated old venues without TM contracts or even creating their own venues (Indio, CA).  It was super involved, meant you had to run/staff these venues, they burned themselves out, and I think the tour combusted when Eddie got sick (and Neil Young tried to fill in).  It was a trainwreck.

TM/Live Nation has only gotten worse in the following 3 decades.  There's almost no venues on considerable size to play without using them (aside from the odd ball park and what not that uses their own service).  It's either, use TM or don't tour.

I don't think it's if you can't beat 'em join 'em.  It's if you want to do to a tour in north america, bend over.

PJ is not bending over. They are making more money than ever on their tours. The music and concert businesses have completely transformed in the last 20 years. Blame the internet and technology. 

Yep easier to make more $$$$! It’s up to individuals to either pay up or not if I can get lucky and get 1 show I’ll be satisfied! 

 Same. I put in for MSG P2 and that's it. I might try to get into Fenway, but I am not going to work very hard to do so.

Yeah you know me I’ve had the same approach since 2008 I’m not loosing any sleep if I don’t get tickets those days are long gone for me! 

Yep, I do. I have a similar mindset. I will catch a show somewhere, but I am not stressing getting tickets, the higher prices, where I sit etc.  I will get to one of the shows in the northeast, so I am not worried about it. Hope to see you on the road hermano!

That would be 😎 I forget last time we hung out at a PJ show damn? You see you don’t have to be in your 80’s to forget 😂😂

Got chosen for Dublin. But bank decided to decline payment as they thought it was fraudulent. Even though I contacted bank before hand to tell them about it and not to block it. I now have to see if ticketmaster will attempt payment again but heard nothing back yet. Really angry about this.

same thing happened to me and London. Ridiculous.  Live 15 mins from the stadium and no tickets now..

Did you get an email to say you had been declined or notification from your bank? I'm in the same situation as you in that I got the email to say I had scored tickets but I see nothing on my bank app to say whether payment has been accepted or declined yet. No email from TM either to signify a decline.

Got sorted. Ticketmaster attempted again and this time got email that I scored the tickets and also saw money went out of the bank. Once you get email then you should be OK.

Anyone familiar with North London able to give me a run down on best public transport options for after the gig? I'm guessing nearest stations will be hectic, is walking to Seven Sisters the best option? 

Was at NFL game there a few years back and Seven Sisters is best station. Bit of a queue but get through it quick with the frequent trains on the tube. They are used to this with the Spurs games.
