    The wristbands are already numbered. Put a pair of consecutive random numbers in each envelope. You line up in that order 1 hour before doors. It's the only way I can see to stop this NS from continuing!!

    Let me see if I get this right. I have GA tickets for Stockholm, which (if I have understood this right) gives me access to to the area in front of the crowd bars within the blue area on the pic, correct? And I can get there five mins before the show starts?

    This is how I imagine "the list" that has been discussed here, so I would appreciate if anyone could correct me if I'm totally wrong.

    Come to think of it, I don't even know what "GA" stand for...Ground Area?

    I have a question that is kind of off topic but not really (and GA is General Admission although i am pretty sure you were being facetious). When i look at the picture posted above, it makes me wonder (in a uh oh kind of way) where the reserved seats are through 10C - they say it's rows 1-10; which sounds awesome, even if you're behind a pit (which i imagine as the 'list' area on the picture). But it doesn't look like there is anything 1-10 going on there. Is it like second section orchestra? Or are the seats amidst the GA? First PJ concert and won reserved for Denver so I'm just trying to get my expectations in line with reality.

    Fuck those people. They leave, it's to the end of the line. There's a lot of fucking fans out there that are real assholes and think they own this shit because they have seniority or they are a holier than thou 10Club member. Fuck them. You want to sit in line, fine...but you get up and leave for an extended period of time and put your name on some made up list to hold your spot?

    Fuck you pal...to the end of the line. Sad to be you.

    No, it was an honest question. I was pretty sure my GA tickets from 10c was the same as the Golden Circle tickets that's on general sale. Am I mistaken here?

    i don't know what Golden Circle tickets are - but GA are the first people let in and you run to the front of the stage and get as good a spot as you are able. The only people who are able to get GA are 10C members (hypothetically). Good luck & enjoy!

    Here in Sweden on saturday Golden Circle are the most expensive tickets for the purple area right in front of the stage. Up till now I was sure my GA ticket was the same kind and that's why I paid shitloads of money for it.

    my guess is that Golden Circle is GA because it's right in front of the stage. Someone else maybe able to answer better than i. Call the venue and ask them if the Golden Circle area is reserved for Pearl Jam Ten Club members.

    Thanks for your support, I'll have a look around and see what I can find in this matter.
    My plan is to collect my tickets, go and have a few beers with my friends and then get in a few minutes before the show starts and thanks to the 10C GA tickets get inside the purple area...I don't have to stand right by the the stage, but I paid the extra money to be able to enjoy the knowledge that I can drink beer without having to worry about queing for hours.

    Not a fan of this list thing, never tried to queue so early. I'd rather see the city I'm in first and then go the gig as doors open. Maybe I should head to Wuhlheide now and start a list....

    No use going now, the list and line will start on the train or bus from Vienna, that's where the people who need to be up front are. They will then nap at their hostel until afternoon and then show up at the venue to claim their rightful spots. :D

    Ten Club tickets are for the Golden Circle area, but the area is not only for Ten Club members, you could buy tickets through normal sales.

    The area is huge anyway, if it's similar to what Springsteen had at the same venue, will hold about 3000 people easily.

    Never paid attention to any lists for any GA shows I have attended. Portland/Spokane, just queued up about an hour before entry and got to 2nd row easy. Amsterdam 1 this year, turned up at 3pm to get in the general queue away from all the numbers fuckers at the front. My gf got rail on Mike side and i am directly behind her. Leeds I will turn up at 5pm and just enjoy the damn atmosphere and I'll be at the front still.

    So my point is fuck the list!

    No clue what this list is. I was in GA for 3 shows last fall and all 3 shows I just went to a random gate around the time that the gates opened, got my ticket scanned and walked down to GA. All 3 times I was dead center, never more than 2-3 people back from the rail.

    Also, I've had the rail once. My roomate and I waited 12 hours outside, didnt use the bathroom, drink or eat for the entire time. It was miserable yes, but worth it. If you want the rail, you shouldn't be allowed to leave the line, simple as that.

    No disrespect to my Euro friends, but I've found the list is a distinctly European thing. And as I've stated elsewhere, I'll be damned if I'm going to stand in line...for hours...for a slightly closer spot...while in Europe. I'll also be damned if I'm going waste two seconds of time allowing some ultra fan dictate to me when I can go into the show.

    Don't line up. Don't worry about the rail. Go have a beer and then go get down at the show.

    too bad my wife is 4'11". Otherwise we'd be GA and the list holder would get a Rikishi Stinkface.

    If you're there for the music, does it really matter how close to the rail you are? Seriously?
    Lining up for 12+ hours to be on the rail seems luda to me, but apparently it brings others joy.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    Aren't some the European venues significantly larger? I feel this amplifies the issue...
    ...also, if it starts to become the norm on the other side of the pond; it's only a matter of time before this BS system finds it's way to the States. And if there's one thing we're really good at, is taking a 'good' concept and f'n it all up.

    no, it doesn't. I was 15 rows (seats-no GA) back in Winnipeg '11 and it was fucking amazing. The closest I've been at a big rock show is row 6 for the Hip, and I gotta admit, being that close was pretty cool. However, it's not worth wasting a full day of my time for. Then again, maybe I'm not a "true fan". LOL
