Did you really think I wouldn't mention Ticketmaster in this email? They are a corporate regime known for having a monopoly on ticketing sales in the American Entertainment Industry. Their stranglehold on the control of large arena concerts makes it difficult for small companies to enter the non-existent competition of ticketing sales. We at Pearl Jam stand hard and strong against companies such as Ticketmaster, and look to perform at alternate venues to entertain our fanbase and provide an exhilarating concert experience without 'convenience charges.' Unfortunately, in our corporate, capitalistic, monopolistic society, we have been forced to succumb to said control of this entertainment industry and therefore have no choice but to allow Ticketmaster to sell tickets to our concerts over their internet-based web of corporate monopoly. Therefore, and heretofor, if you feel that the only way you may find yourself to attend the concert listed above as the DOUBLE DOOR HALLOWEEN BASH is through purchasing tickets through Ticketmaster, we will not judge you. Just don't let them make you pay for parking, because there are plenty of parking meters and free neighborhood spots. OK?
If that didn't convince you, maybe the rest of the Halloween Bash line-up will help. In addition to The Sleepers as Pearl Jam, Blackbox will play as Local H, The Midnight Shows as Boy George & Culture Club, Thunderwing w/Mike O'Connell will be The MC5, Catfish Haven will channel The Misfits, and The Last Vegas will appear as Alice Cooper. Tickets are just $12, and getting them in advance (via TicketMaster or at the DD box office) is a very good idea.
