pearl jam info?
« on: March 20, 2006, 07:00:00 pm »
so i remember back in the day that pearl jam was king of shit hill, they won for best video, and quit making videos. they had beef with ticketmaster, so they sat up their own ticket outlet. is this the 1st time that pearl jam has gone through ticketmaster since then?

they never really set a ticket outlet for the general public, just sold to the fan club members.  they did one tour where they did play non ticketmaster venues in 96(?), but since then it's been any venue be i ticketmaster or otherwise.

As I think I shared once before, I often write the event name in squeeze cheese on a cracker and try to use it as a ticket, because what member of the door staph can refuse a cheese cracker? And if by some cosmic joke they do, well, I just consider it my ticket to deliciousness and go on my merry way.

I have never heard someone laugh so much (lol), sometimes 3, 4 times in a sentence.  Initially, I thought you were still drunk when you were writing your stool postings...Then I thought you were mistaking "lol" for some sort of grammatical punctuation.

$257 for four tickets, including $41 in fees!  Way to stick it to the man, Eddie Vedder!
 
 Not to mention the only thing available as soon as they went on sale were 400 level seats.
 
 Oh well, I always said I'd have to see them before I died, and here's the chance I guess...

Eddie Vedder has no control over Ticketmaster fees. What an ignorant comment. (Indeed, they were the first major act to ever try to fight them.)
 
 $210 or so for four seats, before the fees, at a big arena show is quite reasonable. They play intense, 2+ hour shows every night with varied setlists.
 
 And the reason the tickets were limited today is Pearl Jam has a large, thriving fan club that gets first shot at the best tickets.

a fan club that buys out every single floor seat and most of the 100 level and club level?
