I understand that you all paid your dues to Pearl Jam/10c over the years but come on we need some new blood up in the front, and I just dont mean the lottery sections. PJ is a band that feeds off energy for their shows and sorry but someone that has seen many shows up front just doesnt put out the energy that someone would being up there for the first time.

Just my .02
This too shall pass.....

    That is unfair assessment, I have a friend with a really low number, always in the first 3 rows and he rocks out just as hard today as he did on day 1.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    Dammit, guess my 23 shows from 20+ rows back disqualifies me from being up front now. Lame.

    I noticed this on 10/28 people were on their cell phones, and actually saw a few people with their arms crossed for Blood.

    Flamebait. :thumbdown:

    The first two rows and 9/10 are lottery winners. You didn't win?

    It's set up the way the band wants it to be set up.

    I hope you had a great time at the show. :wave:

    Yet another mind-numbing post passing judgment on how individuals should enjoy live entertainment that they have paid to watch ...

    This is kind of funny, but at the last Philly show, very close to my section, there were two women that were in their 60s. I kind of had to chuckle about the diversity of the crowd that PJ is drawing these days. It was a bit of a surprise and kind of cool at the same time.

    A little off topic, but the title of this thread made me think about it. . .

    Maybe they were trying to reach you, 5against1, to ask you to enjoy the show your way, and let them enjoy the show their way. As for people crossing their arms during Blood, maybe they had a severe case of diarrhea and were holding it in till the end of the show ...

    I thought this would be a heads up for old posters in the forum... my mistake :? :P

    However, I think the lottery deal has improved the odds for everyone to get seats up front.
    And some people go all crazy and rock out, and others are more laid back, regardless of where their seats are.

    But I do agree on something, people that are on their cellphones during the show should be burnt at the stake. That will show them.







    and just in case... ;)

    I understand that people have paid there dues. It just frustrates me to see and bunch of people up front looking bored probablly because they have been that close for numerious shows and its not as exciting any more.

    Kat I understand how it is set up with rows 1,2 9,10 being lottery. What is a flamebait :lol:

    I think she meant you are baiting yourself to be flamed... or something like that.
    So watch out for those flames. ;)

    Yes the lottery did improve our chances. I'm sure Ed and the bous got tired of seeing the same dinosaurs in the front for every show. Time for lunch break. Be back later

    hey hey hey... :P

    I also remember el kbong! But that was ages ago

    PS. If I ever see a show in the US again, I will probably get shitty seats, unless I win the lottery.

    Try paying more attention to the band and less attention to members of the audience.

    of all the attempts at cracking seniority, this has to be one of the weakest
    seniority isnt going away

    so you will just have to hit the lottery or wait to be up front like everyone else
    the system is fair

    I was pretty close on Saturday and was surrounded by fellow 10 Clubbers rocking out. Dunno what dinosaurs you saw, but I was high fiving fellow velociraptors the whole time.
