All-Encompassing Pearl Jam Thread

they really run that message board over there any way they want

And poorly. Shut the thing down for the weekend because they leaked their own dates and then open it back up with all the information still posted just no screenshots of their drymount ups.

I haven’t been active there in a few years. It’s almost as bad the Mondo groups on FB.

PJ is pledging a minimum of $1 million toward local homelessness initiatives. They challenge everyone to join them -- with the goal of raising a minimum of $10 million pledged toward addressing homelessness in 2018.

Estimated net worth of the 5 remembers is $385 million

So they are encouraging people that could better use their money taking care of business in their own lives to make up 90% of the bands goal ? Does anyone else see something wrong with this ?

No.

They don’t have to do or give fudge with their time, money and efforts.

They are though. And in addition to the dollars these gigs will raise, the attention this effort will bring to the issue is likely just as important as the monetary.


Side note: my Kiddo turns 10 this week. I bought him a CD copy of Ten.

It’s a fundraising goal, not a demand.

Encouraging others to do good.. Hmm yeah that sounds awful. What terrible people

Disappointed the only rumors that weren't true were Philly. Goddangit.

Wrigley shows are the same weekend as Phish Watkins Glen..... hmmmm, maybe Fenway I can make but the ballpark thing is really getting lame. C'mon boys, play the indoor arenas!

I tend to agree with you, but I was sort of amazed at how good their sound was for the Fenway shows compared to any other show I had seen at Fenway or Gillette. I had decent seats, but not floor/field.

Fenway sound was incredible. I'm ok with these stadium shows because I believe if the new album comes out in 2019 they'll go back to an arena tour to promote it and these stadium shows will be done (for now).

I'm curious what % of tickets they actually got for these shows that would lead them to write they expect to be able to fulfill all or most lotto requests.

$250 a pair for Boston? Dang.... getting pricey.

For reserved seating, 10club secured a massive amount of tickets for these stadium shows. At the moment the tickets odds for scoring reserved seating is @ 99% except for Chicago Night 1. It's @ 89%.

looks like I'm spending 500 then . . . put in for both Boston shows, figuring I'd only score one (which has been my luck for the last three lottos - 1 for 2 in each)

[lightyears2010]

Lottery closes on 2/12; I think they said probably 8-10 hours (or more) later all notices should be out.
