Pearl Jam

So, Pearl Jam is going to give a benefits-concert in a REALLY small theater in Seattle. Tickets went on sale today at 11am, I checked at noon - all sold out!

you what???


they kick ass! :P

yeah well their last album wasnt a flop but wasnt too loved, well was by me

never seen em live but would love to as the bootlegs i have RULE!

I still like them too, but I thought their mass-popularity was over. Maybe they sold out that fast cause it is in Seattle.

I cannot believe, I am out of tickets

not big into Pearl Jam...didn't they tour last year? i wanted to see them just to say that i had, but i didn't!

Black is a great song though! also, so is Alive...and Evenflow...hmm...*pulls up the mp3 collection*

The symphony hall seats about 2000 people. Tickets were sold out in 3 freaking minutes??????

breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out......

Sure they come around every so often, but I am very picky about the venue and seats. They played Bumbershoot a couple of years back, by I don't want to deal with all that outside hassle (Seattle rain after all).

3 freakin minutes?!?!?

literally, 3 minutes????

BTW, i like your sig!!!

I'm sorry you missed out on the tickets.

I saw them earlier this year. They may not be as popular as they used to be but they are still awesome!

That is what my co-worker said, he was on the phone with ticketmaster 11:03 - out of luck. They are majorly complaining on the PJ board, lol. They say 11am they didn't get any anymore.

I wonder if I go to the Benaroya Hall directly, but by the time I get off work and get downtown, I am sure they are gone too. I might call though.

Bummer.

Now that makes me feel better - NOT

THIS SUCKS!!

Obviously this happens with every concert, but I've never personally experienced it like this.

I call Benaroya Hall and the lady tells me only the first 6 people got tickets. Ticketmaster was out of tickets within a couple of minutes. Ok, the Hall is small, only about 2000 souls, but still, people in line should get tickets right?

Well, I get on www.nwtickets.com and a couple of other online brokers. Sure enought, they still have tickets available. FOR $1,105?????????????
WTF?????? Ok, next level up, $910, $845 and so forth. So, those brokers have the in and get a whole bunch of tickets beforehand, right, just so they can sell a $40 ticket for a grand???? That ain't right!

The band doesn't get more money, it's the broker rakin in. This pisses me off.

breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, br...........

Over? Well, the album was still at number 1 for a few weeks here (Love Boat Captain is the best on Riot Act btw) and they sold out 10 arena shows in 5 states around Australia. Yes, they did put on a great show and I will see them again next time.
