Happy Jack

Ok, so I have been going on and on and on about the Pearl Jam gig at the Astoria for ages. Persistence pays, AS I NOW AM GOING TO SAID GIG!!!!

My dad's legend mate bought tickets off eBay, and while we don't have the tickets in hand yet, it all seems legit, and we should be picking up the tickets from the venue tomorrow or Wednesday.

I'm so happy!! And I promise not to make any more threads on it apart from the gig review, which I'm gonna do whether you like it or not!!

I still won't truly believe I'm going until I'm like in the gig, or at least have the tickets in hand....but it's all looking very good at the moment. Woohoooooooo!!!!!!!

:D :D :D

congratulations to ya. i'm happy for you.

i am happy for you jack. i would be more happy for you if i didn't have a piece of corn tortilla wedged in the roof of my mouth.

Give me a full report cause I know it will rock!!!

I'll be posting a gig review, with some pics hopefully.

And a setlist.

If nobody else is a PJ fan, Ed is so I'll do it just for him.

you'll have to wait until i am capable of operating a keyboard again :D

LOL

Well when you are capable, give us a shout

Don't be too nervous, I talked to a girl online for like a year, she's a friend of a friend, then when we finally met up in person everything went really well and it rocked.

Have a good time

Oh we'll be a fine double act i'm sure. GETTING THERE with my recent luck...LOL that's tricky.

Lol Steve man you will be fine. You coming over for Liverpool gig? Would be cool to say hi.

Every intention of it mate. Cash could still be an unholy crisis, but we'll see.

At least I can fly in 40 mins now instead of doing the bus for 10 hours.

I love Wishlist, hope you're enjoying it... I love the line "I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good."

Fantastic.

Great singing by Eddie on that one. It was so good, I had to play it five times in a row. I mean, I just had to, y'know?

I think you'll find it's great singing by Eddie on every track.

Glad you like Wishlist. And you have the vinyl, that is cool.

I'm off to bed now.... Gonna think about how mint Thursday night is gonna be first though!! :D

Nighty Night.

Well done lad. Let's hope it's a gig that surpasses your expectations.

And you're going to Reading as well.

Get in there.

Good things come to those who... scream and scream and whinge and whine! Only joking! Have a top time, our kid - hope it surpasses expectations... Have just rediscovered an old taped copy of Ten, so will give it a play on the way home today in your honour...

Snorri xxx

Cheers Chris. That's 3 Pearl Jam gigs this year and they've not even announced the proper Europe tour yet!! :D

Snorri......have fun listening to Ten. One of the greatest albums ever IMHO, every track fuckin kicks ass and is mint. And that was the debut album!! Hard to believe because it's just so good.

Well, I guess it was bound to happen.

The eBay guy checked with the Astoria that he didn't have to be there to pick the tickets up from the venue. They said yes.

We won the auction. The Astoria are now saying the guy has to be there and we can't get the tickets without him.

And you know the best part, the fucker lives in Holland.

Can't even tell you how upset I am.

intransigent corporate cocksuckers

Surely that sort of comes under sold under false etc etc etc. Get on to Ebay and shout - a lot. Surely if that fails, a few strings could be pulled?

not a chance

common practice that only the cardholder can pick up a ticket.

errr, on another note, wouldnt Cozzie be hung out to dry if she started a thread like this?

Yeah. Well they told him it would be alright, and now they've just turned it round.

What's the date of the concert? Can they not mail the ticket to Holland and then he returns it to you? Call me simple if you like ...

edit: ignore that. must be this week judging by your first comment

Cozzie's da isn't 25% of the reason we're here LOL

i think the lad deserves a little leaway ;)

Well at least we never pressed Pay button. We won the auction but decided to wait before pressing "Pay Now". I guess that was a good idea.

sadly "at least we didn't get ass rammed" is thus far the best thing that you can say about this sorry affair.
