    We have no idea how many tickets were sold. For all we know they only sold enough tickets to fill the floor. They could have only sold 250 pairs and we wouldnt know until we got there.

    exactly... all we know is it holds 1400

    they could of only sold 2 - 300 pairs through the 10c


    looks like there's 50 of us on here that have admitted to it

    it would just be nice to know before hand for a plan of attack ;)

    I think there is an issue with what "floor" means and what "balcony" means, look here

    Its very possible people answering e-mails haven't seen the Vic and don't know there is two levels... Balconies are clearly small areas to the side of the stage... no 10C there... the upper level is just way too big for VIPs
    Balconies are not off to the side...those are called Boxes (sometimes Royal/State Boxes). the balcony is the big area above the bar and back of the floor crowd.
    And no one sings me lullabyes
    And no one makes me close my eyes
    So I throw the windows wide
    And call to you across the sky....

    $1 Blue Moons? I AM IN!!!!

    For any Canadians who are wondering what Blue Moon is, they just started selling it in Canada ... only in Canada it is called "Rickard's White" :)


    i love how this grapevine has worked

    poor bartender is going to be like "why do all the pearl jam freaks keep asking for Blue Moons and then get pissed when they find out it's not $1"

    i just called them (fuck it, i 'm bored) i let the dude know that it would be pretty crowded next thursday because of the concert. he spoke in slightly broken english so who knows? there was no manager around. hopefully they put on an extra day bartender bc of the heads up. anyway, he said it is always domestic for $1 and he is callin gme back with what it will be.

    we might be able to put some pressure on them for blue moons? :cool:

    email says floor only
    phone says floor and balcony

    who knows

    maybe they've got a shitload of vips from lolla and stuff... and they don't want peons sitting next to perry ;)

    I'm assuming they are removing those seats under the balcony and that will be all floor.

    There are no seats under the balcony, it's just stair-stepped levels rising up from the pit area.

    Start a thread just for pre/post concert meetups and where the drinking and shenanigans will occur. Thanks. :D

    Cool. I've seen risers before, but never ones that nice. So I guess there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Can't wait.

    Risers - exactly, I guess that's what you'd call them! At the back of the last two or three risers, there are upholstered booths - maybe that's what looks like seats in the picture?

    Subject: Hello


    Hi there,
    A group of us are going to the Pearl Jam show at the Vic on Thursday night
    and were thinking of meeting up at your bar since the location seems ideal.
    I was trying to look online for your menu and beer menu and it seems like
    there are a couple of websites but not sure which is up to date, Is this
    site got good info? http://cityinsights.com/chicago/bigcitytapmenu.htm

    Let me know
    Thanks
    Lou
