*OFFICIAL help thread for those who couldn't get tickets*

I thought this thread could be very helpful for our fellow Jammers who are frustrated about not getting tickets. Lets fill this thread with ideas and solutions for those of us who weren't as fortunate to get ten club tickets. Lets try to look at the glass half full instead of half empty. :D

My advice would be to get up early saturday and be one of the first to buy tickets on ticketmaster. Trust me its not that bad! I've bought tickets off there to a few PJ shows now and I've never gotten a bad seat! I even had 13th row at the NY 1 Eddie solo show! Also keep checking back here for other jammers who have their "No. 2" bail on them. Bottom line, keep your chin up! Still lots of tickets out there!

    Honestly the 28th would have had a lot less traffic due to the show being on a Wednesday. Probably 1/2 to 3/4 of the people trying for that show (if that) vs the Friday show. I tried for the 28th at work and it was a peice of cake (threw them back though as my better judgement prevailed), the 30th was a little tougher trying from home, got kicked out several times during the buying process. Now I know we have a far better server at work than I do at home but the amount of traffic, the popularity of the show, you're quickness at refreshing (just keep clicking Tickets) and patience while pages are loading are all key.

    That being said the 31st will be a nightmare, it being a Saturday and Halloween. I'll be sure to be at work when those tickets go on sale, even if it's a Sunday night at 10pm ;) Trust me the site mentioned is far better than going to the usual Goods page and refreshing!

    I don't know if you're trying to deter other people from using it, but that's simply not true. I did miss the 30th with this, but that's only because at the checkout they told me my session timed out or something. It's a lot quicker and is about 100x better in case you miss the start and need to go to the instant reloading phase.

    Not getting 10c tickets is not as devastating as one would think. Get a regular ticket from TM on Saturday. Just being inside the building is enough!

    How much to TM tickets cost. Seeing as I've always been able to get 10c tickets, I have absolutely no idea how much PJ tickets would cost.

    Secondly, how shitty will the seats be? Seeing as I'm driving to the show from a fair distance, I don't agree with the whole "as long as you're in the building" thing. From an economic standpoint, that simply doesn't work for me.

    Don't need to sound like an a**hole, just one very frustrated PJ fan trying to figure out how to see the guys for a reasonable price from somewhere where I can actually see them...

    Would anyone be able to help me out with getting two tickets if I miss my chance at the public onsale? I've never seen PJ before and if they really aren't touring next year, I'm pretty SOL for a while.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    Will cost an extra $20 for ticketmaster fees and their seats are pretty good if you can grab them early. Once in awhile seats can be dropped and you can find good pairs later on but I'd advise to get them early.

    As much as I hate fees I always have better luck with public sales then i do with 10C tix.

    So they go on sale Friday morning. I assume the comcasttix is the same as ticketmaster pretty much?

    Holy crap! A friend of mine, who almost 10 years ago lent me his vs, yield cds and was one of the responsibles for me being a pj fan, just told me that he would go w/ me to seattle and LA! We both live in Guatemala, and ten years ago neither of us would even dare to dream about seeing them IN SEATLLE!!!

    I got tickets for sseatlle 2 and LA 1, but he´s gonna try saturday On tm. So....

    1. Is it almost the same chance of getting them on Tm there is on ten club?

    2. You can buy only one ticket for each show, right? Rather than only pairs on TC.

    Well, he´s almost sure of going, cause he has to get his visa first! Hopefully he will. He´s gonna try on getting tickets saturday anyway.

    i was unlucky with the philly pre sales.. i live in philly and would really appreciate any help i can offer a bed and couches to crash on. seeing PJ close the spectrum would be like a jesus miracle come true.

    I was unable to make the Seattle pre-sale this week and some last minute changes have made me decide to come out for the shows. Any help would be appreciated for either show!

    As a side note, a few months ago I was lucky enough to grab 1 of the 20 S/N Green River/Melvins posters from the Goods section signed by Jeff Ament. I would be willing to part with it for 10C tickets to either show. I started another thread about this as well, but I thought I would update this one as well. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks!

    I was hoping to take my girlfriend of 1.5 years to her first show so that she could see why I love PJ so much. I'm moving to Philly in 2 weeks for school and after I resigned to not seeing PJ in Chicago, ACL, etc., the Philly announcement was the gift I had been hoping for.

    I will be forever indebted to anyone that could help me out with a pair to the show on the 30th. 90 minutes of fruitless refreshing and clicking of BUY left me with nothing but dissapointment. I know lots of people are asking, so I'm not the most hopeful. I'd be happy to pick you up at the airport and help you get around Philly (as long as class doesn't conflict).

    Worst case scenario, I'll go through TM. I was just hoping to give my girlfriend the true PJ concert experience by sitting in the 10c section.

    Philly shows go on sale on Friday, not Sat, and on Live Nation, not Ticketmaster. Make sure you don't space on the day and site info. Good luck to all
