I think chances might be a little better than zero because both shows go on sale at the same time.

I've got to say, this is one of the biggest rip offs in a long time.
 
 I've wanted to see Veddder solo, but $90 to hear probably an hour worth of music and an hour worth of politcal rants, come on!
 
 What happened to him saying, "fuck the man." He's fucking us!
 
 End rant.

Here we go again.
 
 
 (I completely agree, for the record.)

Just pulled a PIT seat for Bob Newhart but it's too expensive
Title: Re: ed vedder on sale roll call to get shut out anyway
Post by: MonkeyPants on July 11, 2008, 10:04:00 am
yeah, I tried for just one ticket for Sunday and got in immediately and still was able to only get mid-balcony.
 
 I totally agree that it's a ripoff, but I still want to go :/

I got in at 9:59, tried for a pair for Saturday and got nothing.  I would have bought upper balcony
Title: Re: ed vedder on sale roll call to get shut out anyway
Post by: sweetcell on July 11, 2008, 10:07:00 am
sold out instantly... wow.
 
 i'm guessing the ten club allotment was pretty big.
 
 i'm sitting this one out, i'm a fan but not that big a fan.

Mid balcony saturday. got in immediately. Still trying to pull up a Sunday. From what you guys are saying, it sounds like they might be holding off releasing the orch seats
Title: Re: ed vedder on sale roll call to get shut out anyway
Post by: Mr.Whippy on July 11, 2008, 10:10:00 am
I got in right at 10 and got 1 mid balcony for Sunday (row DD).  Tried again out of curiosity and nothing comes up.
 
 If you got shut out, I would suggest trying for a little while longer.  It has happened to me before that I've tried to pull seats for something that sold out right at 10 and then about 10-15 minutes later seats pop up.  Springstteen at Verizon was like that.

Do you get a free hand-job from Eddie with a purchase of a ticket?
Title: Re: ed vedder on sale roll call to get shut out anyway
Post by: conorh98 on July 11, 2008, 10:22:00 am
I hope that's the case. Good for them. I'm just glad to be in there. I think these are going to be pretty memorable shows. I saw PJ a few years ago play 3 shows in a row in Mass. They said the first night that they wouldn't repeat a song and try to play everything they knew. When they realized that it wouldn't happen with the limited time they had for the last show, they announced that they'd come out before the opening act and play an all acoustic set for an hour. The songs held up remarkably well. I can't wait for this.

you mean pj is real good at hooking up scalpers posing as "fans".  go look at stubhubb right now.

now you know why there were "no tickets available to meet your request" the millisecond they went on sale.
Title: Re: ed vedder on sale roll call to get shut out anyway
Post by: walkonby on July 11, 2008, 10:31:00 am
and ebay too.  look at all those orch seats.  pj fans are the best.
Title: Re: ed vedder on sale roll call to get shut out anyway
Post by: Yada on July 11, 2008, 10:35:00 am
Figure, maybe a two hour set or so.
 
 One hour of politcal rants and one hour of music.
 
 So $45 for an hour of music.
 
 NIIIICE!

Post by: Bombay Chutney on July 11, 2008, 10:36:00 am
There were a few posts on the PJ forums earlier this week that said the TenClub only got 10% of the seats.  No idea if that's true or not though.   The TC presale also sold-out instantly.  Lots of people were shut out there, too.

I think you have to give HIM a handjob whenever you buy the ticket.
 
   with both hands! (hence the name "tenclub")

Actually PJ fans have no idea where their seats are until they show up the day of the show.  PJ fans are not selling these seats.  
 
 Now the Warner Theater is EXCELLENT at hooking up ticket scalpers, which is why I'm surprised EV is playing there in the first place.  Real fans shut out of the Ten Club sale never even had a chance when it came to the Ticketmaster sale.  Warner gives all the good seats to the scalpers.

EV shows are actually pretty much the same from night to night.  If you look at the set lists from his west coast tour, they were pretty predictable.  I see no reason to go broke seeing him more than once.  Once would be enough.

Amanda is very choosy with who she books - I think you've got to suck Ian's cock to even be considered!  Maybe EV will open for that Fugazi reunion / Obama Rally final Ft. Reno show?

I got a pair to the Sunday night show through the Ten Club.
 
 Got shut out of Saturday tickets from both Ten Club AND Ticketmaster. I also had my fiancee and best friend trying for Saturday tickets today. No luck.
 
 At least I'll be there on Sunday! Can't wait. I hope they're good seats. Ten Club is heavily emphasizing that their allotment is entirely random this time.
Title: Re: ed vedder on sale roll call to get shut out anyway
Post by: sonickteam2 on July 11, 2008, 02:22:00 pm
ya know
 
   I have this recurring nightmare that one day Eddie Vedder will sober up (mostly) and decide his political rantings are more than just that. He will decide to take over the country (and thus the world) and "Tenclub" will be his outlet for mind-control and propaganda.  Soon we'll be buying and bread and milk via TenClub and milk will go first to those with higher member numbers.
 
  In a strange ironic twist...his campaign song (though, being a hostile governemnt takeover, no one will be "running" against him so he wouldnt really need one) is "Better Man".
 
  I am just hoping we're a long way off from this happening, though the Supersonics moving to Oklahoma City is enough for anyone to snap.

I'm OK with this! Maybe each milk carton can have a unique art print on it so I can collect them all!  :)

I heard about this a little late (reading the Post vice this forum!). I'm traveling Saturday, but would consider going Sunday if anyone has a spare.
