I actually stumbled upon this the other day, but I thought it was interesting since I don't hear of too many bands making this available to fans. I know PJ fans are pretty loyal, and for the most part if you are into them hard then generally attend 2 or more shows a tour. I wonder if any other bands are going to see this, and start it up. Seems like a whole cottage industry in a way. It is fairly cool though.

FEEL IT RISING…NEXT STOP LONDON!

Get together with fellow Pearl Jam fans from around the world for a special European travel package experience to London! This summer getaway gets you deluxe hotel accommodations and access to welcome & pre-show parties to mix and mingle with other Pearl Jam travelers. Best of all, you have your choice of ticket to Pearl Jam’s show at Wembley Arena: a General Admission (GA) ticket has you rocking out down on the pitch OR a Reserved ticket gets you preferred seating with a prime view within the first 5 rows of Section S6! See Seat Map

Your home-away-from-home will be The Cumberland, a hip hotel in Marble Arch near Hyde Park where the Rolling Stones played in 1969. You’ll have easy access to the “Tube” to check out The Speakeasy on Margaret Street where the Jimi Hendrix Experience used to gig, or Royal Albert Hall where Dylan, Joplin, and The Who made their marks. Loaded with trendy DJ bars and laid-back lounges, beautiful gardens and hip shopping areas, you’ll quickly catch the modern vibe in this historic city where Westminster Abbey, Abbey Road, or a pint at Abbey Beers fills your heart! The home of many musical beginnings, London awaits you for a slammin-good time. Rock in the UK for your Pearl Jam summertime travel package!

People can't make this trip on their own for cheaper?

I thought that transportation to and from the show was included.

I'm sure they can. My friends though, have never been to Europe and are not what you would call the most savvy travelers so its perfect for them. And they can afford it.

I used to go to at least one or two shows every Pearl Jam tour. I didn't go this time around, though. I still like them. I just didn't really feel like it anymore. It might have something to do with 20 something live albums I own.

Seems to be a lot to pay to listen to the Flannel Elmer Fudd howl on about Bush and alienation for two hours.
