Good thing this site has a good server. Google "Soundgarden forums" and this site is the first one that comes up. 
A GNR site... 
Yeah... our Admin doesn't love SG or anything.

A few young men and women stood holding "name your price" signs, though one guy's limit was $180 because that's all the money he had. Some speculated that a few fans got in by bribing the club'™s bouncers for $2500. A passerby wearing tie-dye said to one person desperate for a ticket, "Good luck in life."
The $180 sign was me! Not because that's all the money I had though.
And it WORKED. And I ended up paying less and got on the band list. Fuckin spin.com needs to get their story straight.

Myles is mind-blowing on Civil War and Nightrain!
Are we listening to the same songs?

so excited by this reunion. Have really rediscovered some of their old stuff again and listend to Badmotorfinger after a few beers last night for the first time in years. What a trip that album is.
interesting setlist - certainly didn't play it safe there, lots of older stuff and 'Beyond the wheel'? really? Thats crazy - Cornell hasnt sung in that register in a long time
Im praying for a new album and world tour - this band were so underappreciated and now its becoming pretty clear how influential time has proved them to be
They certainly weren't under appreciated tonight. And judging by the audiences reactions, they were sorely missed as well. Seattle-natives are an entirely different brand of people when it comes to music. Outside of Seattle I agree, they are a highly underrated band.
But they're back now and kicking even more ass than when they left.
I can't even describe the way the audience reacted. I've NEVER seen an audience react like that.

I just got home, the show was fucking incredible. I didn't actually get tix, I made it on the band's guest list some how. I still can't believe that just fucking happened.
Seriously, Beyond the Wheel. The crowd was in a collective state of shock and awe when Cornell nailed it perfectly. And it was hilarious, because he just looked at all of us with our dumbstruck looks and smiled and continued to scream.
The band was tight as hell. It seemed as if they hadn't even missed a day. And Cornell... WOW. A 40-something should not be able to do that.
His voice also seems a lot cleaner than his recent solo material. It sounds a lot more like Soundgarden-Cornell again.
Ben is the greatest bass player to ever walk the face of this planet. Period. And the way he acts on stage... I have to wonder what that guy is on. He goes from acting like a robot, to twirling, to standing entirely still for Blow Up the Outside World, to pretending he is shooting the audience with his bass, to acting like Frankenstein... the guy is nuts.
And James, the dynamic in the band seemed to be a very positive one. Cornell and Kim were laughing the whole night and hugged once. Ben and Matt were joking around and Kim kept giving Ben crazy looks.
A lot of audience interaction too. And a lot of thanking the fans for all the positive feedback for the reunion.
I've never seen a crowd go as nuts as when they started playing Spoonman. For me it was a huge relief as I've been frustrated all day trying to get in and waited 2 and a half hours outside of the Showbox waiting to get tix.
Only 3 people got in that didn't have tickets. I am very lucky to be one of those three. Words cannot describe what just happened tonight. I'm still in shock. So after I sleep on it and the reality of what just happened sinks in I will post more.
The setlist was amazing. I was glad they didn't play Black Hole Sun. Though I would have liked to hear more from Superunknown and Down on the Upside... Can't bitch though, I saw Soundgarden's first show in 14 years.

Sounds like a cluster fuck of GNR proportions. They're playing a tiny venue, so how can they send out passwords to every person on that list?
This reunion wasn't well thought out, even if you take this out of the equation.
Then they play this huge scavenger hunt and give out one ticket?
There were people standing in line at the box office for over 4 hours to come home and find out it was all online. No one bothered to let those people know.

Check craigslist off and on the next few hours. It'll be pricey, but I guarantee at least one person unloads their tickets there.
Who am I kidding? These are golden tickets. No one is giving them up for shit. Even if you hate them and have a ticket, its historic and you're going.
Should check anyways though just in case.
There are people selling.
One guy wants 999 on ebay.
