Oct monster tours for MoveOn.Org

[tooms]

I got thrown by the filling out the employer stuff also for the PJ Reading show and ended up in the back corner also.  it delayed me about 45 seconds and that was probably enough to end up in the back.  still, pretty good seats and the place looks small for an arena.

As a fellow contractor, I checked around before contributing and found that employees of contracting firms are allowed to donate to campaigns.  Only if you are a consultant or own the business are you barred from contributing.

Thanks!  after thinking about it with Kosmette, this is what we figured...  But in the rush of trying to buy tickets that statement really threw me especially if they could take me tickets away if i lied or something

it's also possible only certain section of the arena were open to fanclub members.  from what i can figure out the arena holds about 9000 for shows.  of course i prefer the method of fanclub tickets based on seniority and my number seems to be pretty low these days.

Not true...I want to go to Reading, but am not in the fan club so am likely screwed.  The two friends I know going are, so they got tickets but I'm not a big enough fan to go and sit by myself...

Has anyone gotten an email after signing up for the "pre-sale" on the official tour page? I'd really like to go to the Bruce show in Philly.
 
 The only thing I've gotten is a Dixie Chicks promo of some sort...

[Bags]

Apparently the Moveon presale for Bruce is already over.
 
 Moveon for PJ is tomorrow, as the fan club sale was today.
 
 I should get an email from Moveon, but haven't.

[Bombay Chutney]

I've heard (friend of a friend of a friend of a ...) that they started sending the emails last night. I don't know of anyone that actually received one yet though.
 
 -edit-
 
 that was referring to the Bruce/REM presale, so Bags may be right.

Snagged 11th row for PJ/DCFC in Reading, although I may have gotten closer had I noticed the occupation deal at the bottom of that stupid blurry word page.

[Bombay Chutney]

So what's the deal with this contractor/employment restriction?  What does it say?

[kosmo vinyl]

there is also some kind of ticket lottery going on for the bruce show being held... did moveon have to give preference to those in swing state for tickets? who the hell knows i'm for reading and unlike several people at the pj forum can't complain about my seats i still get to see them.  i'd like to see the bruce at cobo hall show, it's about the size of the balwmer arena.

We picked up 5th row floors for Reading (on McCready's side of the stage). Also picked up rear floors for Reading. Thank goodness for the 10 Club.
 
 By the way, moveon.org's presale is tomorrow but you had to get a password from moveon. They've already been sent out and each person has a unique password. It's a cool way to make sure that passwords don't get distributed too much.
 
 General onsale is Sat morning.
 
 I loved the first two Pearl Jam CDs and liked the third one. After that, I'm luck if I can pick out one or two songs I really like. But their live shows still are some of the best I've ever seen.
 
 I'm surprised no one's stoked about seeing Death Cab for Cutie. I'm more excited about DCfC than I am for PJ.

this what you had to agree to buy tickets...
 
 By checking this box you represent and warrant that:
      
 
     * You are a United States citizen or permanent resident alien.
 
     * You are making this contribution from your own funds, and not from funds of another.
 
     * You are making this contribution on behalf of yourself as an individual, and not on behalf of a corporation, labor union, federal contractor, bank or other party.
 
     * You are not a federal contractor.
 
     * You are making this contribution on your own personal credit card, and not with a corporate credit card or with a credit card issued to anyone else.
 
     * You are at least 18 years of age.
 
 
 and as eros points out it only applies if you the company, consultant, directly acting as a federal contractor.  employees of contracting firms are allowed to donate...

[kosmo vinyl]

i'm pyched about the whole show in general  

[bellenseb]

I didn't get a password, so I guess I'm out of luck. Tickets for the Philly show are already going for $1300 on ebay. How much did moveon charge?

I have a friend who got the Moveon presale email, and it was for today at 10:00 a.m. (for Bruce, tomorrow for PJ) -- but she wasn't interested in using it for Bruce and got it to another friend too late to use.  Presale was sold out by the time he got it sometime this morning...
