    just as an fyi, tickets to the spectrum are sold thru comcast. (comcasttix.com) and wouldn't be subject to a ticketmaster fanclub policy being discussed a few threads back.

    i got neil young and dead tickets thru presales, and i can promise you those were limited, as i had friends that did not get them, so i wouldn't think the 10c would have 1000 pair. maybe i'm wrong, but i bet they have just as a limited amount as the dead and neil did.

    I'm all for GA too, for your reason. However, I'm 5 ft. tall, and seeing how short I am...GA just doesn't work form me, if the big guys won't let me squeeze through to a good spot near the front. Doesn't usually happen, and boy, do I TRY.

    That's what the wings are for :) I don't think you could see that much better if it were folding chairs.


    no, probably not...tho the *space* afforded, as opposed to being crushed up against each other...does help the view. the real plus of GA is the CHANCE for high 10c #s to go up front. i believe that was point of your initial post, no? and i think jeanwah agreed. just pointed out that being tiny makes it difficult. this is why i too am on the fence. i'm just a few inches taller than jeanwah, and the only way i get a great view at GA is if i am on the rail. i've done it, know it's doable...but it's quite the time investment. pros/cons to em all...so whatever happens, happens! this is yet another reason why i think getting an announcement without an instant sale to follow is a good idea. if there is a choice between GA and seats, depending on who you are going with...might require even further consideration........decisions, decisions, ;)....and we don't even know wtf is going to happen! :lol:
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    aside from a festival setting, where the band makes a conscious decision to play for a GA crowd, PJ simply doesn't trust the North American crowds with GA seating at their shows. couple that with the fact the band probably prefers reserved seating when they play most venues,...

PJ probably has planned one, maybe two dates, and has reserved the days around those for any variables. I don't see them having the demand to play a place close to 20gs three nights in a row.
    A. You're wrong.
    B. You're wrong.
    and
    C. You're wrong.

    It's not over-zealousness. It's actually legit. Initially they WERE holding extra nights. 5 total, to be exact. It's because they were working out the details, and the final word is 3 nights. Believe it if you want to. Don't if you don't. But I assure you I will be there for 3 shows in the month of October, and PJ will be there with me.

    And since when don't they have that demand? Were you aware of Boston? Philly has the same sized fan base, if not larger.

    You really get off on being the naysayer, don't you? That whole negative bullshit you're pulling around here is just so unnecessary. You should really find a hobby that doesn't involve pissing on others. Just sayin'.

    Cry me a river why don't you. I get off on many things "being a naysayer" isn't one of them. I approach things realistically. Oh and YOU will be there with Pearl Jam, not the other way around. :roll: If you get your three nights whoopdee fucking dooda for you. Next time down take things so personal. 'Just sayin', Pearl Jam is a rock band, they are not your friends.
