  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. Originally posted by RUMMY:Obviously I'm trying to talk myself into this but I must be loving the drama that I've created around this whole event.

    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.
  4. I appreciate the comments about getting to the show without tickets and then buying them from scalpers (in person) - I used to do this quite often when I was younger. However, I got somewhat "burned" in 2001 when I tried to see a U2 Elevation show and there was only a couple of scalpers outside the arena. They were asking for about $250 a ticket (which I thought was crazy 12 years ago!) - and the show had already began!

    Regrettably, my friend and I did not purchase the tickets (went to a bar instead) and I regret it to this very day.

    If the show was in Toronto, I'd take your (Kieran's and Sergio's) advice but I don't think I can bring myself to drive a relatively long distance without anything.
  5. That's another piece of info I didn't have - I thought it was in your hometown or quite close. Driving a lot of miles without having anything granted is crazy indeed.
  6. that will be my tactic for Bon Jovi next saturday .. but the stadium is very close to my home so almost 0 effort and who cares if won't make it ... but ....
    PJ are not Bon Jovi hehehe
  7. I think about it over the weekend and make by decision by the end of the month.

    Hopefully the tickets don't end up getting MORE EXPENSIVE!
  8. I did not realize they were playing in such a small arena, hence the $$$ demand for tix.

    I would wait it out longer..there is still a few weeks...prices will drop Im sure...
  9. Compared to what the Wrigley tickets are going for these ones seem relatively cheap.

    I will late a little longer but I may crack as the uncertainly has made me a little crazy. I'm getting quite obsessive about the whole thing and tend to be checking stubhub every hour.

    Not good.
  10. These 2 shows seem odd to me, not to sound like a wet blanket ....I guess they will play the new tune, or tunes. So thats good, but they really have just been playing the same tunes since '09....

    I could tell you 80% of the set right now, as could you. Actually, Im not really that interested in these 2 shows....as we have said over and over.. why only 2 shows ?
  11. Put out the new album, and go out on a proper tour.

    These shows remind me of the summer '09 gigs....when they added the Fixer and Got Some to the set....


  12. Oddly enough, they played Toronto during that time - and I didn't attend as I was:
    i) not as big a PJ fan that I am now.
    ii) I had just spent well over $200 for the then-upcoming 360 show.

    Eerie.
