Just a quick thanks to Ten Club for my experience tonight in Chicago. I have been a fan since I was in the 8th grade (when Ten was released) and for one reason or another never joined to fan club until a few months ago. My # is 430xxx.....Imagine my surprise when I picked up my tix tonight and found I had been upgraded to Section 3, 9th row! (especially after reading that people were in the nosebleeds with high #s) So, I just wanted to say Thanks to the fan club for giving my girlfriend and I a once in a lifetime experience that I TRULY appreciate and will NEVER forget!
See you guys in the nosebleeds for Chicago 2!!!

One of the best nights of my life. Have been a fan for a loooooong time, around 16 years. Never thought I'd get front row and a pick from mike AND Ed motioning to my fiancé to flip her a pick(it didn't make it to us).
Not trying to rub it in to anyone not on the floor, but i'm still in shock that it happened
Ended up with section 109 tonight, and it was great! These are almost the same seats I bought from a broker in 2006 for double the price I paid tonight....FANTASTIC show tonight!
So another thank you goes out to the ten club for the last two nights....I am sad its over but the memories I will have of these shows will last a lifetime!
good for you............glad to hear a good story instead of a bitch fest...
my tickets were what i expected. 239xxx, 1/2 way back Sec. 211, 5 rows up on the Mike's side.
fucking awesome show.

My wife was very upset as she chose to go to the Sunday show with me and let my future brother in law come to the Monday show. As I was waiting in line to pick up my tickets, she tells me that you'll probably get better tickets today than when I went! (we were in sec 104 on Sunday)......once I got the tickets....lets just say I should have just sent her a text with my seat location and not via phone call.
No I won the lottery on Sunday..had seats 5 and 6 in row 9. Last night I got section 109.....
I gave my GF a choice which night to go as well and she happened to pick Sunday, which worked out great for us.
Everyone around me was seriously rocking out as well (as they were in Row 10). A great night to remember!!!!!
I didn't win the lottery and yes, my 10C seats were further back on Chicago night 1 than usual.
But -
Those 2 shows were just incredible. What a weekend!! I took my 11 year old son to his first show on Night 1 and we ended up with Section 102, Row 1. We could see everything. He could see the entire stage, looking right over the floor people's heads. He rocked out until he passed out! The set has been discussed to death and I agree it was one of the best shows I have seen. He made it back to school today, rocked his "I Saw Pearl Jam" shirt and stuck his new stickers in his locker. Got Some and STBC are two of his favs so getting them back to back pretty much made his night. He is truly a 10c member because on the way out of the venue: "Aw Dad, they didn't play Sonic Reducer!" LOL!! But he had the time of his life and I think he is in love with nfanel!
He had a great time and so did I. Ten Club got a lot of shit over the ticket situation for Night 1, but I could not have been happier with the seats I got for that night. So thanks, Ten Club. You are not perfect and no one is but I really felt appreciative this weekend.
Night 2 I shared a ticket with a friend and ended up on the floor and could not see, but again, WHO CARES!! I was in the building with friends and got treated to one of the best shows I have ever seen. I cannot decide which night was the better show now. Looking at the people in the upper decks rocking out during Fuckin' Up when the lights came up and hugging and waving during Yellow Ledbetter, wow. That is my favorite thing to do now. I think I watch the crowd at the end more than I watch the band. I realize there are more important things then where I sit, and how my view is, and what I think I am entitled to as a 10C member, and when and where the band does and doesn't play and just get lost in the music.
THANK YOU!!!! to nfanel, Solat13, SPEEDY MCCREADY and Kathy, QuarterToTen, Mrs._Vedder78, i am a donut, and the rest of my friends and if I missed you and I am sorry. You guys absolutely rock and made the weekend extra special. I wish we could have spent more time. From the pizza, to the Sox game, to the sightseeing, to the hospitality shown to me and mine, I could not have had a better time. Easily the VERY BEST Pearl Jam road trip I have ever taken. Chicago fucking rocks and that is all there is to it. Everything was perfect. I think I am on a high I won't come down from for a few days.
And thank you 10C! I sure wouldn't travel to any of these shows if we didn't have the opportunity to get these tickets.

I agree with all of that. I bought these tickets spontaneously when they went on sale with no plan and having no idea if I'd be walking around Chicago alone all weekend! lol. It turned out to be a really amazing weekend and I am so glad to have met all of you. Like everyone PJ started off for me with just a love of the music but I can't thank PJ and 10club enough for all of these experiences I've had because of them - the great fans that I keep meeting and the great mini-vacations to see them.
I only made it to night one and I was really happy with my seats, too. I was on the wings, section 101... also further back than normal but just happy to be in the building! My only regret is that i couldn't stay for night 2.
Thanks, 10club, Pearl Jam, and new/old friends for an amazing weekend!
that is one of the coolest things i've ever read here...you are a great dad and your son is very lucky to have you
tell your son to join the club
hi nic!!!
his post was one of the coolest things i've read on here, and seeing a young fan so excited... well that added another level for all of us!
Hope in the spring we are sec 133, and not 333, just a bit outside.
Check your PM and thanks for the pics!
We just had a really good time. I'll be talking about this one for days.
