  1. Huh, that's a part of the discussion I didn't know of. So it's 250$ for a ticket and not even worse they're SCALPER tickets?!?!?! Man if you bang that money we're ending our virtual friendship here and now!



    Just kidding (in a sense)... But you get my point - as I get yours. But man, you only have to wait for the dates and then get regular tickets at a normal price...
  2. Originally posted by EDDMB:I think they will drop in value Matt closer to the show date....also, keep checking the ticket sites for a ticket drop. Ticketmaster just dropped a bunch of Orch seats to one of DMB s Jones Beach shows that Im going to next week.


    My wife's gf bought a few tix, we already have seats but now more of our friends can go..so keep checking.

    Are most stubhub tickets electronic ones? My initial concern was that I needed to ensure that there's enough time for the tix to get to me by the day of the show.

    I suppose with all the posting in this thread I've done over the past two years I'd feel like a bit of a "fraud" not going to the show!

    Here in Spain they're just plain paper tickets that are put on sale and then shipped by certificate mail. Don't know if it will be the same in the other side of the pond though, not sure if e-tickets are very common there or not.
  5. Most are E tix..but some are still hard tickets..it depends....
  6. You might want to go solo Matt...if tix are that high....

  7. Ha! The reason I'm taking my brother-in-law is to keep my wife from thinking I haven't gone off my rocker!!!! (I'm not one to go to out-of-town places, midweek, by myself),

    Let's say I do pay, say...$250x2=$500 for the tickets. I really have no issue paying $250 for myself if it's what I HAVE to pay (if waiting a little longer saves me some money, then I will). I figure we'd spend at least $100 for his b-day gift - probably more - and I said to him if I could get tickets it would be my gift to him (sound a bit cheesy but in context it's okay.)

    Obviously I'm trying to talk myself into this but I must be loving the drama that I've created around this whole event.
  8. Where are the seats ?.....I mean, $500 for 2 and they are crap seats ? Thats crazy..
  9. Well, the venue only holds about 10,000 - about half the size of say, MSG or the ACC. That's said, they are in section 307 (row K!), which is in the back corner of the arena...

    See for yourself:


  10. so true but i don't think they will pass through Canada this time
    (i just made a cd of Bocelli for my mum hehe)

    that prize (plus the trip i guess) for that seats would be a No for me aside of some "extreme" occasions (even though less extreme of the one Sergio expressed) .. and i don't think this is the case.
    ok 2 spare shows could be "special" but i see them as a way to "keep calm" the fans .. i would keep money for an eventual double date in the near future
  11. I know this is a massive risk considering it is a two hour travel to London, but why don't you get to the arena about half an hour before Pearl Jam go on stage, and try to haggle to with scalpers. At Bruce Springsteen, I witness a couple get two tickets for £20 each. They start getting desperate to sell tickets so they will start selling them cheap.

    hahahaha gotta love you Matt


    I support what Kieran said. There are always scalpers outside the venue (or even people who bought an extra ticket for someone that couldn't make the concert, and they just want to get rid of it without any profit), and tickets start getting cheaper and cheaper as the show hour gets closer. It's the best option. I know a friend who made it to the U2010 San Sebastian show for 15€ - with a ticket that was 85€ face value. He bought his ticket 10 minutes earlier to the show and got to his seat as Stingray Guitar was starting. True story.
