You want it. You don't need it. It's really kinda greedy.

Considering there OBVIOUSLY isn't enough to go around. And also considering everybody who won it probably already had a designated ticket buddy. My guess is if you didn't get one, you probably won't.

I went for GA. Didn't win. Now i'll take anywhere. I don't 'need' to be in the pit, or even on the field. If i end up with upper reserve, it'll still be the best Pearl Jam show i've ever been to.

    Well said!!! What drives me nuts is there is gonna be about 5,000 people with extra tickets starting in May. People will be giving them away!! It always happens

    Well said Chris. I wholeheartedly believe there will be plenty of tickets around. And Speedy made a convincing case earlier this week that the best seats in the house for this may even be in the upper decks.

    I put in for GA just because it was the "best", but now I look at it and I think having seats is a better way to go. I was never going to fight my way to the rail. Guaranteed I would be standing in the back of that pit all night. Would I be closer? Sure. Does that matter? Probably not.

    A couple of years ago I got into an argument for pointing out that a poster didn't actually need more Pearl Jam clothes, they just wanted them. :lol: They were quite offended.

    As far as the actual topic goes, I agree, you don't NEED the seats you WANT. I never needed to be at the front for Pearl Jam, I just needed to be in the building. :mrgreen: (As luck would have it, I've always managed GA tickets for PJ, but that's not the point.)

    All these GA posts are depressing. People are getting selfish now I think. What happened to "I just need to be in the building"?

    Why is it depressing? People have differing opinions about what makes a good show experience ... It's reality


    And people have been selfish for a looooooong time (and obviously there are exceptions)

    People NEED GA!? No people should feel blessed if they get tickets! I agree this place is different now. It was fun not that long ago. Now it's full if "market value" PJ merch and people walking on eggshells.
