    I was able to get to the 'lawn' seating aka 'shitty tickets' seating. That's it! Keep trying. 10Club and the local rock stations must have bought a ton of seats!! That's good news for 10Club if you got them.
    I love to turn you on

    Yeah, no shit man. I just had the same issue. Actually the only tix they seem to have available are lawn, and theres no way in hell I'll ever do lawn.

    Then I thought, maybe they just haven't released the rest of the pavilion seats, but after looking on StubHub and a few others, they have several tickets for pavilion seats! Looks like no Pearl Jam for me on this tour. Very pissed.

    i was in there to buy immediately when it popped up and there has been nothing but lawn...ive never experienced this before for a venue outside of MSG etc

    Yeah I don't know when StubHub or the others were able to get in to get those tickets...I should have checked before 10 am to see if they had them, which would prove that they clearly found a way to buy them BEFORE the 10 am on sale time. BASTARDS!

    You know, screw Ticketmaster, PJ should go after these broker SOB's - they are truly the ones who screw things up for everyone, not TM.

    I was shocked too - I had two windows open, one for hartford one for boston.

    Hartford = lawn
    Boston = decent seats (row Z)

    Yeah man I did the same thing, but had two windows open, both for Hartford (two different browsers of course).

    i hope this means 10c really went to bat for us and not that these scum bag brokers and radio stations gobbled up all the seats....eh probably both...damn....thankfully I got 10c tix for this show but i was hoping to nab 2 somewhere under the pavilion for my friends...especially if the weather is shit

    Ok, trying to be positive here. Let's say you got lawn seats, what's the best way to make it a good night?

    How early can you get in? More importantly? How early should you get in?

    Show starts at 8pm, figure some super loyal folks will be in immediately so they'll be at the front of the lawn, how soon should you get in to avoid the massive crowds though and being all the way back?

    How much do beers cost once inside :-)

    i was in with 5 tix selected before it was even 10:01am and couldn't get seats...only lawn.


    fucking bullshit. loved the $15.40 charge PER ticket for venue and "convenience" too...standard operating procedure, i know.



    still fucking sucks though. not a happy camper atm.

    Well!
    Let's make the best of that damn lawn as we can! See ya's on the grass....on the grass ;)

    Well good for you to all those who got 10C tickets, but unfortunately I did not. I am a former long time member, but I had some major family crises late last year and consequently my renewal for membership had to get put on the backburner - not exactly a huge priority at that time. Now, sadly it doesn't look like I'll be seeing the band this year (no way I'm doing lawn, and I would NOT advise anyone to do lawn in Hartford either), which is crushing to say the least. I was determined, even if I had to spend extra $$, that I WOULD have decent seats for a PJ show on this tour, but I should have known there's no way in hell that would EVER happen.

    Anyways, enjoy the show guys!

    There are only 7000 seats in the lawn here. I have heard the promoter on the radio say that for fan clubs, the band generally gets every other row so there are only half as many or less tickets for sale. I think that was DMB, but it may serve as some reference point. I suspect PJ has even more of the house than most fan clubs.

    Ticketmaster can pull several thousand tickets at any given time. The math equals instant sell out.

    ah come on...don't get me wrong....that is a shit situation when you are in before 10:01am and cannot even land a seat inside the pavilion....but this is your hometown show...how could you not go!? If you don't have the dough now save up over the next couple months and grab some tix at the show....sure youll have to pay more when when is the next time Pearl Jam will come to your hometown? Could be some time...

    Well I've had shitty seats for every show I've gone too for PJ, INCLUDING my 10C seats, so I have been absolutely determined (and actually, still am), to get tickets in the lower pavilion. But of course they are all taken by 10C, the promoter, etc. etc., which sucks ass. I while I would love to dish out some extra $$ for those seats, the friggin brokers online are selling those seats (albeit rediculously) for anywhere from 800-1200 bucks!! Gimme a break. I love the band, no doubt, but not enough to take out a loan for tickets to their show.

    I got lawn seats....who gives a shit ...i would rather sit on the lawn than not go at all....i saw them in 06 on the grass....it really wasn't that bad....i just want to see/ hear them..so i am not gonna bitch about it...i am just happy to go

    Quite honestly (and don't take this the wrong way, I mean NO offense to 10C), the band ought to just go on a 10C-only tour, and not make any other tickets available to anyone else. At least that way the rest of us won't get disappointed because we're shut out of decent seats. That's probably the only fair way of doing this and keeping more people happy and less people disappointed.

    i believe in 2006, the seats were sold out almost instantly also. i had fan club tix so i didn't try getting them through ticketmaster but everyone i know who went on right away to get tickets got only the lawn.

    to be fair hartford was up for hours on the TC site... now for MSG and MAYBE boston... that would be cool, but I dont think even the TC could sell out MSG (not even close probably).
