Charlottesville crowd?

The crowd for this gig has seriously got me concerned, being a college town and it seems the tickets haven't sold as well. Can anyone comment generally on the crowds in CVille? Are they tame and bland?

Get a grip, dude. You're going to a concert worried about how the crowd is going to behave?
Hmmmm, to answer . . . Charlottesville is the coolest, hippest town in Virginia. The fan club members coming to this show know what's going down (are you sure you're from VA?). I imagine that UVA students who like Pearl Jam (or any college kids for that matter) are far from tame and bland.
I just don't understand your point of view. Chill.
No, not the mayor, but I am driving down from the DC area (15 miles from) during the work week. Funny thing. You just prompted me to check Ticketmaster -- the best available seats left at this point are in section 304, row Z, as in the last letter of the alphabet row, so somebody from somewhere is clearly ponying up the money. I bet that last row will sell out by the night of, and I predict that the non-10C seating areas will rock the house.
I still have an extra reserved ticket. I've deliberately saved it to sell to a poor, underprivileged UVA kid (hahahaha) waiting outside the arena holding a wad of cash. They probably have more dope than any of us combined, too. If you want to get stoned, hang out with the college kids. The rest of the state is dry.

What does that have to do with my concern over the crowd involvement?
I'm just concerned after all the great crowds in the northeast that the small town of CVille might not bring it. I sure hope they can.
And yes I'm from VA, about 4 hours away from CVille. My point of view is simply this is a place pj have never played; it's the smallest venue on the tour and it didn't sell out. A bad crowd really brings down a show. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

I was at that show... I assume you're pointing out that sometimes, indeed, a college show can suck? That still goes down as one of the least awesome PJ shows I've ever seen. And I've seen about 50. It was not much fun.
Granted, PJ on a bad day is still better than most bands live on a good day. But this is PJ, and comparing that show to other PJ shows, it was not much fun.
:shock:
Yep, I called it on October 22!
