I know the info will be sent via e-mail, but just in case, what is the normal procedure for picking up 10C tickets at the box office. I've never done it for a Pearl Jam show and will be going to the Mansfield shows.

    go to the will call window asap. You don't want to wait with 3000 other fans in line at 6pm trying to get tix. If you can get them at 3pm, put down your beer cup, tell your tailgating buddies you'll be back, wait the 20 minutes or so, get your tix and then go back to partying. Much better that way.

    Uusually they are available for pick up a few hours before the show. All you need is an ID to get them.

    especially this time around...I anticipate lots of expletives, for better or worse, walking away from the 10c window

    we should call this the golden ticket tour

    but seriously, for NY/Boston expect 3000 plus fans from the 10club at the window picking up tickets. That''s why the sooner the better because do you want thousands in front of you at the window trying to pick up? I'm praying that the 10club opens the windows at noon time because I'll get there at noon, wait with 20 people to get my tickets and then party the night away. No more worrying for tix. Scalpers suck.

    the only bad experience I have had picking up 10c tickets was at the gorge...all other shows have been simple, maybe ten minute wait at most...it usually depends on when we get to the city/venue...but usually we pick up tickets and then head off to the bar to have a couple drinks

    I would imagine emails will be sent out in the next couple of weeks with all the details for 10c pickup

    and seriously, with all the planning going on for these shows I keep forgetting about the lottery for rows 1,2, 9, and 10...picking up that white envelope will definitely be a whole lot more interesting this time around...the suspense was already enough the last few times around

    But a lottery ni a good way, even if you don't get one of the 4 rows, you tickets are still going to be good.

    oh of course, no doubt about that

    but with the added possibility of landing seats up front I can't help but be extra excited about picking up my tickets

    Never had a bad experience picking up my 10c tickets, never waited in line with hundreds of thousands, and I've never taken the day off just to pick up my tickets.

    Basically you show up when you can, show your ID and go find your seat. Just like a normal Will Call except you want the one that says "Ten Club" or "Fan Club."

    God, people will find anything to bitch about.

    It's not Hansel & Gretel for crying out loud, there's no witch waiting to eat you if you don't fork over the killer seats. :)

    I've never really 'dealt with' anyone wanting to buy my tickets.

    Yeah, me neither, just the annoying dummies yelling "Tickets? Tickets?" You just keep walking.

    so you don't have to go in at a special gate or whatever with your fanclub tickets? What's to keep people from selling them to non 10c members? I'm new at this, but if the tickets can be resold - that sucks! Especially since it was hard enought to get them in the first place!

    OK listen up, newbies. The 10c tickets start out just OK and get better and better the longer you pay your dues and move up in the rankings. Sometimes you'll be psyched about your seats, sometimes not so much. Sometimes REAL psyched. Whatever. Either way, if you buy your 10c tickets, you have tickets and they'll be decent.

    You don't need to take the day off from work to stand in line to pick them up at will call. If you want to, that's your thing, but it's not like some bell goes off and a zillion people rush the gate. It's like any other concert, sometimes you wait in line at will call, and sometimes it so happens that whatever letter your last name begins with just so happens, for once in your life, to be the short line. You pick up your little envelope, check your seat location, and react accordingly.

    Nobody's going to see you with your envelope & be like, "ooh fan club tickets, let's pounce on the unsuspecting fan club member!" Again, it's like any other concert: people want to buy and sell tickets.
    If you want to sell your fan club tickets, go ahead. That generally will be, like, a one-time only event because if you get caught scalping your 10c tickets, you'll get kicked right on out of the club. Honestly, anyone who is still asking about that is a newbie with a high number, and it will be a few years until you get put in a section better than me.

    Didn't they teach you anything in the Warehouse?

    No worries, just go to the will call windows and follow the signs. They usually seperate by alphabet like any other will call window. Not since the "block" system have I seen any crazy lines. Just wait a person or two in front of you and have your ID ready. Easy Peasy. The windows are probably going to open at 12pm so people have all afternoon to get theirs. We pull in our spot, get our tickets and party after we know where the hell we are sitting!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    mansfield usually lists "will call" ticket windows by member #..

    example
    window #1
    tenclub member number 1 thru 80,000

    window #2
    number #80,001- 100,000
