    I think it's just ridiculous! I literally got there like 10:00...and...i have section 13 for Mansfield.
    But, there's no reason to complain when we can't do anything about it!
    I shouldn't have been busy during the 10club sale! haha

    I just picked up lawn seats at mansfield but could have had section 14 ....the wife is not as much a fan as I am, so considering Ive been waiting since a canceled Buffalo show in the early nineties im not complaining one bit...

    i got them 20 mins after they went on sale. virginia beach

    I hear ya. I had the phone going and 2 computer with FIOS at 10:00 and still ended up in section 12. I really feel the more tickets you try to order the less chance you have of getting to the front. I had to get six for myself and my friends. I should have just gone with 4.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    I was on Hartford at 10:00 and only lawn seats available. It froze a lot as well. Mansfield was hard to get thru for a while.

    I had 4...and that's where I ended up. So it's not the greatest. Maybe Pearl Jam will try and negotiate something with ticketbastard? Who knows! I'm not gonna complain though, I'm really happy that I'll be able to see the boys on stage again. They're a true gift to the industry!

    computerized "best seats" are such a crapshoot...they fall in and out of carts - one minute I pull the back of section 14 for Mansfield - 5 mins later I check to see how much worse I would have done and I see midway back in Section 4. Important lesson, once you buy, never look again.

    I agree. I let my girlfriend know that I scored the tickets and told her I wasn't happy but she said at least we were going to be there to see them.

    I agreed and then proceeded to go through a broker and pay out my ass for killer tickets for Hartford. I hated to do it but I said screw it.

    Where are the tickets the broker sold you?

    That's exactly why I think the less tickets you order the better off you are. Next time it's just me and the girlfriend.

    I think if I had requested a pair they would have been at the top of the pavillion...

    It's seat #221, so I speculate that there's 21 seats in the row and that makes ten pairs of tickets to fan clubers and one single left on the end of the row...

  • my friends all ended up with outside seating pairs for Mansfield - I have 4 singles under the roof, sections 3, 4 ,5 and 7.

    It was kind of a clusterf*ck.

    I'll tell ya, thank goodness for 10c as it was a lot easier getting tix through them.

    I haven't been a member in quite a few years. I'm kicking myself in the ass right now. Maybe it's time to sign back up.

    this is a no-brainer! it's even hard to get 2 tickets together...the best seat I've ever had for anything is when I just buy 1.

    At 10:01 only lawn seats were available for Hartford. I said no thanks.
    However at 3:00 I was able to score section 14 in Mansfield #1. Very odd.
    Regardless I'm very happy with results.

    I'm really worried for the Madison Square Garden...
    Semms hard to get nice tickets on the web..

    Might be better to stay in line at a outlet?
    Makes me ache, makes me shake...
    ...is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    For all the years I have cursed and complained about Ticketmaster, I couldn't complain today. I got through ticketmaster, via computer, and pulled sec 200, row C1 (3 rows from the stage) for Hartford. Of course, it's only 1 ticket, but that may be the trick.

    I went online at 9:30 a.m. and created a new Ticketmaster account, while waiting/browsing for PJ bought some different tickets :p to give it a run-through. They were in my box in 2 minutes and charged correctly/no surprises to my card.

    10 a.m. I searched PJ, clicked more info for Mansfield, waited for less than a minute for the "best available" function, and was offered two tickets in Section 13. I added VIP parking and at 10:04 I had the confirmation email, same deal with the card - no issues.

    Kinda surprised at some of the 'additional charges,' but what are you gonna do? Overall very smooth, pleased with the experience. Not what I expected.

    good work!

    It's a single...odd number of seats in the row leaves singles on the end after 10C pairs...
  • I guess I am just a great woods snob - I refuse to sit further away than sections 1-8, even if it means sitting alone. Besides, once the music starts I have nothing to say to anyone except WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH!

    Same here I was on at exactly 10am and got sec 13 row P. I was hoping to get seats under the roof at least, but at least I'm not on the lawn.

    I missed the 10C sale because I was at work and was busy away from my desk.
