"Hey, listen asshole, one more fucker throws a fuckin' quarter up here and we're outta here, I'm tellin' ya, FUCKER! What the fuck, you're blowin' it for fuckin' everybody. Hit me with a fuckin' quarter again and, fuck it, I'm outta here. We're all outta here. Fuck you, and if anyone sees someone throw fuckin' change right next to them, you have my permission to beat the fuckin' holy shit outta them."
Not trying to argue; just hoping there is a little more elbow room with the bigger floor plan.
Not arguing either, just positing a theory. And my theory has more to do with possible restricted allotment than anything else, it seems to me that 10c certainly got a better than 10% haul of tix in some cities, specifically Hartford and Philly, not coincidentally non-Ticketmaster venues.
Just hope we're not packed in to the point of penetration.
Won GA! I got stuck going for TicketBastard seats for night 1. This will be my only GA show this tour. Got reserved 10C seats for Hartford, GA for Worcester 2 and Ticketmaster for Worcester 1, Buffalo and Brooklyn 1/2! :corn:

Reading through these responses I still think that there is plenty of confusion on how they do the lottery. I have to admit that I didn't understand it fully myself until after the initial drawing. The lottery isn't conducted the same way that I think most people would expect it to be. The GA for each show is selected first. If the club has 1000 sets of GA tickets and 1200 members pick GA as their first choice, then winners are randomly selected and 200 fans lose out.
But, if the supply actually exceeds the demand (such as this show) the remaining tickets are assigned randomly to those who picked GA as their second choice. Even though in some cases these fans would have preferred reserve seating and made GA their second choice as a last resort.
I'm guessing that's what happened here. Because of the restrictions, there were more tickets than eligible entries. Everyone who picked GA as first choice automatically won and there were still GA tickets left over. I'm also guessing that the Ten Club did still get a significant amount of reserved tickets but not many entries were left once the GA seats were allocated.
Again, I missed this important factor in the lottery during the initial draw but saw this written up somewhere during my compulsive reading of the forum.
Boston (4/10/94), Hartford (10/2/96), Barre (8/22/98), Hartford (9/13/98), Mansfield (9/15/98 + 9/16/98), Mansfield (8/29/00 + 8/30/00), Mansfield (7/2/03 + 7/11/03), Boston (9/28/04), Hartford (5/13/06), Boston (5/24/06 + 5/25/06), Hartford (6/27/08), Mansfield (6/28/08 + 6/30/08), Philadelphia (10/31/09), Hartford (5/15/10), Worcester (10/15/13 + 10/16/13), Hartford (10/25/13), New York (5/1/16), Boston (8/5/16 + 8/7/16), Boston (9/2/18 + 9/4/18)
This is crap. This is the only show I asked for this tour and didn't get it. been a member for over 10 years....
I just WON this second, was TBD up to this point.
Got reserved seating...my 2nd choice. There's still a chance for ya. GLTA!
How would you get reserved seating as your second choice if I lost it as my first choice? I'm just reading this thread now, has this been discussed?
Yes it's been discussed. From what we can tell, 10c fulfills the GA section first, as with Phoenix and Philadelphia, some folks who had GA as their second choice won it as their first. So basically, GA seats are selected first, regardless of priority, then reserved.

Thanks, just caught up.
Really stoked to get GA. I haven't been in a GA PJ pit since I was front row in Barrie 1998. Game on.
I'm in reserved .. It was my only choice.
My five year drought has finally come to an end!
Thank you PJ and 10c!
This second chance show was the right thing to do for your greater Boston area / NE area fanbase!
Well done!
I put reserved only also,Then freaked out because I didn't ask for both.So I went back and put in for G.A 2nd.
and got the G.A. Bless you for going long shot!
DCU center seats 12,000 people. I found a map that specifically says Pearl Jam concert, googled it last night cant remember where I found it. It shows A pit section with 3 seated floor sections behind that, 7,8 & 9, then everyone else behind that. The reason I originally posted wondering what the pit capacity was, although I am a bit "older" that is not the reason. Wifey is small. 5' 2". she says she will be fine and is looking forward to it. Gotta love that girl!!!! I will be in Sec. 205 on night 1 and will check it out. I have seniority # 113xxx and I know my reserved selection would have been awesome. Was 8th row center at MSG both nights several years ago, Row 3 center in Hartford once and have had some of the best side section seats you could imagine. I think unless you are up close on the floor an awesome side seat is better. Just my opinion. either way its been 3 years since May 17th 2010 when they played the garden and these tours are becoming more infrequent, so I will be enjoying it immensly from wherever I am. Before, During and After. Enjoy and be safe.
I out in for GA first and Reserve second and got shot out of both. I think the reason I must have lost is I did not originally put in for Worcester 1.

Got GA as 2nd choice.
Still utterly confused by the lottery system, but 10c GA is better than TM or bust!
Contemplating if I want to try and arrange for a trade or just keep GA...
I usually avoid GA, I like to have my space...

I was actually kind of shocked.. I out in for worcester 1 ga and reserved and got ga.. Then when I saw that they added the second show was announced I put in for both ga and reserved before reading the fine print.. But guess what I got ga for night 2 as well. Hahaha strange but I'm pretty happy.

Take a picture of your tickets page and post it then.
Won GA tickets for Worcester 2, my 2nd choice after Reserved since I am 5'3", but I am looking forward to it! Never been on the floor for a PJ concert after all these years! I have had great Ten Club tickets on the sides (213,xxx), and after TM 2nd-to-last row for Worcester 1, I am psyched!!
