    I wonder what percentage of tickets HMV will make available in their pre-sale? I can't find it written anywhere. It's a really small venue alright.

    They haven't mentioned it anywhere, I did ask though, just waiting on them to get back to me.

    Also note that O2 (UK) will be doing a presale for this too.

    As much as it pains me I cannot even try for shepards bush tix, just too skint at the minute! Was at oxegen last week, heading for the two uk shows next month and gotta book a holiday in thailand for a few moths time, I know ill probably regret it! At the end of the day I was at the Astoria in '06 so at least I did see them in a tiny venue once!

    Tom, I'm pretty sure that you can't get O2 presales if a customer in a different country, I've definitely read that somewhere else......but def worth checking out.....
    decided I'd pre-order the album anyway.....

    From PearlJam.com
    Do you live in the UK? Do you want to go gigging? We are pleased to announce an additional opportunity to see Pearl Jam live on their European Tour ... on August 11, 2009, the band will perform at the intimate Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, England and the Ten Club wants to give you a chance to attend.

    THIS PRE-SALE IS LIMITED TO UK AND IRELAND MEMBERS ONLY. Ten Club pre-sale tickets will be available online only at https://www.pearljam.com/max with a Visa or Mastercard. No phone, mail, or email orders.

    The Ten Club ticket pre-sale will start at 5pm UK local time (9am Pacific) on July 20th and end promptly at 8pm UK local time (12pm Pacific) on July 21st. You must be active as of July 15th, 2009 and your Ten Club address must reside in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) or Ireland to qualify.


    Excellent. I really like that they included Ireland. It's helpful for me :D

    Would any of you care to hazard a guess as to how many 10c members there are in Ireland? There must be at least 5 :P I wonder if they've allocated a certain percentage to Irish peeps :rolleyes:

    are all these presales not getting a little confusing ?????

    so that's 3 different pre-sales for a gig in a venue with a 2,000 capacity ?
    which gets priority, how many available in each presale.......

    like I said before - good luck to everyone, but the odds of getting a ticket are actually getting worse by the day......

    I know a few 10c members in Ireland. In reality there could be enough to fill Shepherd's Bush Empire, probably not though. I was at a gig there in Dec 2007, it's very small and not as well kept as the Olympia. I know it's got a lot of history, but how can they justify playing in that tiny venue, as well as the arena gigs in London and Manchester when there isn't a single Irish date? I'm so disappointed in the band, that night should have been used for an Irish date. Instead all we get is an inclusion for the fan club presale, which is badly worded and sort of implies that we're part of the UK or includes us as an after-thought. For a band known for their issues with Ticketmaster in the past, they've certainly sold out this time with the whole "pre-order the new album in HMV to be in with a tiny chance to purchase a ticket to see the band" and the O2 pre-sale, which speaks for itself. Pearl Jam are my favourite band. My Boards name is based on words from a PJ song:)... Anyone else feeling disillusioned?

    "Alone" isn't actually Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains at all! It's by a band called Downface. But you're not alone* in thinking it's a PJ/AIC song... it was released onto the internet years ago crediting them, possibly as a publicity stunt. Nice song though.


    * Sorry, PNI.

    Nah I don't feel disillusioned. They're only doing a mini tour and for us to be included in that presale at all suggests to me theres just about enough members here and in the UK to fill the place. it really isn't that many, there are only a tiny number of members here and in the UK..They'll be back next year don't worry.

    Are you sure? They've overlooked Ireland in the past, in fact they've only played here twice, as far as I know. The played in The Point both times.

    Wow, I stand corrected. Thanks for the list! I would have loved to see them in 1996. Or 1995... had I been old enough to appreciate it. But yes, we definitely have been skipped a lot.

    I don't think we've been left out any more than any other country. Could be worse, we could live in the South :p

    I couldn't give a hoot about them "selling out", tbh. Some people are getting way too sensitive about the whole thing with HMV and Target. I'm gonna try for the tickets next week, and if I don't succeed, I still have Berlin, Manchester, London and the two shows in Seattle to look forward to.

    They've only skipped Ireland twice! in 92 and 07! if you have the special deluxe edition, in there somewhere is a tour list and a gig in the SFX in Dublin listed for 92! somehow it didn't happen sadly..

    Also they started the tour here in 06(and the No Code tour started here too!) but little known fact, they rented the whole Point out for a week for rehearsals in 06!! I was working there at the time and didn't even know about it!! ragin!!

    don't worry, they said they arent touring next year cos someones havin a baby but they'llbe back! the Dublin thread is the biggest thread over on the pit! That probably doesnt count for anything but I've been lucky enough to meet them a few times and they said they always enjoy coming to dublin..wish they'd finish a tour here for once..that'd be amazing :)

    when i was a young teen in the early 90s, you could like nirvana or pearl jam. but definitely not both. it would warrant a good hiding if that were the case. but it was PJ all the way for me. the song that hooked me was even flow. and i havent looked back since. also around the mid nineties stone gossard brought out an album with another band called BRAD. the album was called INTERIORS. very good album and you can hear the PJ influence in some of the songs. my two favourite songs on that album are secret girl and the day brings.

    I must check that out, I hven't really listened to much of stone's music other than his work with PJ, yet I listened to the newish stuff on his myspace page recently and he sounded great!

    The Fixer ill agree, very catchy. Sounds like it could have come straight off avacado! Its good but atm im still preferring Got Some! Still debating whether to try for tix in the morning or just wait it out til Manchester! Dilema! I know deep down I cant really afford it, but I know well if I got tix id find a way there! Maybe i might go with it and not be disapointed if i dont get a ticket.

    On a side note, so far its looking like im going to have a lot of backspacer come september, between the vinyl and cd from 10C, the deluxe cd from hmv and the copy ill buy the day it goes on release here!

    Hey Guys,

    I know some of you's are trying several different routes to get pre-release tickets for the SBE show so if on the off chance you end up with more tickets than you need you've got a customer ready & waiting right here! :)

    PM me!!!

    God damn hmv.com never sent me the pre-release email

    :(

    Looks like a very very shoddy setup from HMV........
    lots of people complaining about not receiving the link at all, but to be honest you are better off than people like me that got in this morning and got as far as the confirmation page and still got nothing.........word is they were all gone in 1 minute...........

    I guess they just have different systems, but I really can't understand how people didn't get the link email in the first place......I'd be pretty sure they they have very few tickets in this presale......pity, guess I'll try again in the main sale but wouldn't be holding out any hope of getting through that either........always a pisser, especially when you have flights booked too :-(
    but they are the risks.........hope someone from here got tix or will be lucky in the Ten Club lottery (people on there definitely not happy bunnies this morning)

    Just in case you haven't seen it - HMV are having another "pre-sale" on at the same time as the general sale.
    Tickets to Pearl Jam at O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire...
    A further HMV exclusive allocation of tickets will be made available from Thursday 23rd July at 9am. These tickets will be available only to customers who have received an email invitation to purchase tickets for this further ticket release. These tickets will be of a limited number only and will be allocated to customers on a strictly first-come-first-served basis.

    I guess use the link you got sent the first time, if haven't received another one!

    I'd say it will be played loads once its proper released! Never thought id say that about a PJ song and actually liking it... :D

    What's everyone's thoughts bout the song? I know people say its 'poppy' but its a quality,upbeat,short and sweet song IMO...

    Im pretty sure it has been out since Monday morning and 3 times in 2 days is ridiculously poor compared to WWS's airplay in '06 on 2fm and Today. Dont mean to be condescending btw. (You probably meant thats how many times you've personally heard it on the radio, if so, sorry for, well ya know, ripping:o).
