I’m just voicing my frustration over the tickets. I understand not everyone will get lottery or verified fan presale tix but I’ve seen discussions on the forum about some people getting tix via the lottery AND the presale. So while some 10 club members are not getting tix at all, some are able to get tickets for themselves (lottery) AND their friends (Pre-sale). 10 club members should only be allowed to get tix thru one avenue. Now I’m left to maybe get a ticket thru the general sale. I’ve been a 10 club member for a VERY long-time and now might not even get to see them this tour. The coordination between the lottery and pre-sale seems to be non-existent. This needs to change.

Maybe referring to the reserved seats as “old people seats” was more the issue. Some people can’t stand for hours at a time even when they are young. Others want a better chance to actually be there. If you “refuse” those seats and didn’t get GA, than really, that’s your issue, not the club.

pearljamhead didn't say that. whitepants did.

This is the beginning of the end my friend. It felt super slimy using Ticketmaster for a 10c presale.

At least you got to use it.  For some reason, it didn't even register my code!  I did what every good 10C fan did and threw my hat in the proverbial ring and Ticketmaster told me that I didn't do it.  

This is obviously the real reason why the Doomsday Clock moved under two minutes...GRRRRRR

What went wrong? There was no code to register for the VF sale.

Totally understand where you are coming from and I don't understand the process of some being cut out completely but it is the nature of the beast.  You'll get to see them, that won't be an issue at all...you'll just probably not be sitting/standing where you want.  For Seattle -1 I swear to you it felt like I was sitting around people who knew like three songs, Alive, Black, Jeremy, but we'll throw in Evenflow for good measure just cause we all love Mike's solo. My point I guess is that it doesn't matter where you are in the arena...you're there. You're watching your favorite band on the planet play some of the greatest music of our lifetime and get goose bumps when you hear In Hiding or Sad (I do).   Chin up buttercup!

Been loving PJ since 1991, 10C member since 1996. I'm frustrated that the 'GA Only' option leaves you completely fucked if that is truly your MOST desired option. I'm attending the show solo as to don't know have any friends who are smart enough to be devoted PJ fans. As a small framed female who is energetic and wants to rock out in the pit at a PJ show, and I REFUSE to consider old people reserved seats, I should have a respectably decent and fair shot at getting GA ONLY tickets when I am told that there's a 99% chance I'll get it here in LA (I'm originally from Michigan). I'm already flying to London to see them at Hyde Park, so I didn't want to be greedy to request both LA shows and go to Oakland, I just wanted ONE GA ticket to either LA show via the 10c fan presale and I got nothing. Now, I find myself again, a week later, hoping and praying that Ticketmaster will select me in their Verified fan lottery to be ALLOWED to participate and TRY to buy a GA ticket. I'm so sick of the stress of buying tickets for my favorite band in the world. You think this craziness would have tapered off by now, but NO, there is still this insane, overwhelming demand to see PJ!! That's bad and good, but Jesus, please don't forget us long time fans who want to see the best band in the world with the seat preference they have earned.

Limit show tickets fans can buy, and install a system to give those fans, like me, who lost out in the TC presale, to have exclusive access to the TM verified fan pre-sale. It makes no sense for someone who lucked out with TC presale, to ALSO gain access to the verified sale too and get lucky there, again. I'll be extremely disappointed if I am not selected for the TM verified fan, I don't know how much more I can be considered a "verified fan" with having a 149xxx member number, and supporting this awesome band since '91.

Good luck to me and my fellow jamily in the same damn predicament.

This old guy will be sitting in those seats while you stand outside the venue. 

No, I managed to get tickets today for LA forum. Four rows from the stage, side, and a precious aisle seat so I can dance like a fool. It was stressful. No PIT at all which just super sucks. But I'm content. 

My previous gripe filled comment still stands.

Make sure you tell everyone sitting around you how you feel about the people who sit in the reserved sections.

This is a long shot and will never happen, but maybe could there be a way that we could take a PJ test that would give some 10 clubbers some better seats. I know there is a number system with what fan you are, but I hate seeing 10 C people around me standing still and mot rocking out. They look like they do not want to be there. IDK it just sucks sometimes.

Omg me me, 😂I've always wondered how do people just stand there.  Pearl jam does something to me that makes me dance and sing.  Lol. Keep on rocking in the free world🤙

Some of us are unable to move to others’ satisfaction, which in the end doesn’t matter, as I’m not bothering anyone and frankly don’t give a shit.

As to the “test” suggestion...

Holy crap that sale was stressful. Three shows sold out before I had a chance, but I managed tickets for Phoenix. So happy!

I literally have no idea what went wrong honestly.  I got the 10C email and did everything that I was supposed to do, didn't get lottery...no biggie. I kept reading that other folks were getting this email and that email, but I'm getting nuthin.  No biggie, in almost 30 years I've never had any issue grabbing a PJ ticket, and I got one.  Oh, it's a crap seat for sure but it's mine, all mine. muwhahaaa...it's all over and done now and I'm sure the second leg will be so much better. *cross fingers*
