Memphis is going to be awesome I can't believe how many people I am meeting, not sure if 8 hours will be enough, lol

i'm not thinking 19,000 fans will be there. not to rain on your parade but there's a lot of unsold tickets.

true, but even 17,000+ all the unsold stuff will be in the nosebleeds, with the lights down no one will be able to tell unless you are in the nosebleeds

I hope you get a kick ass show. hank how are you feeling? I saw you checked in the hospital. all good?

Big Bank Hank

thanks I am good it was tetanus, fortunately I caught it as soon as I started feeling my jaw lock, the more you wait the longer it takes to recover so this weekend I am able to enjoy myself and get ready, so pumped up, my last show was Phoenix almost a year ago, hoping they hit up The Gorge and Benaroya Hall in 2015 so I won't have to travel, pretty pricey

Big Bank Hank

cheer up Ed, I promise you will have fun

Big Bank Hank

Yeah, I don't know if it will be 19,000, but if I am looking at the "buy by map" section correctly on Ticketmaster, most of the seats are gone. I am sure that some scalper seats will go unsold, but I think that a lot of the seats that are left on Ticketmaster will be sold by Tuesday. Nevertheless, i think that it is going to be a great show!

any guesses how large the GA pit section will be using the pics posted as a reference?

no clue because Pearl Jam usually has larger GA than most bands

Judging by the pics and St. Louis, I am guessing half or just a little less than half of the floor.

the youtube video of St. Louis looked like the pit was full from front to back...is that correct or just the camera angle. In 2013, GA looked like it was only 3/4 full due to ppl crowding the front.

The GA section in St. Louis was about 1/3 of the floor!!
We moved to the back of GA midway thru the 2nd encore & there was plenty of room to hang out there!!
We have GA for Memphis too & would REEEEEEAAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYY LOVE to hear Thumbing My Way at this show or at Detroit or Moline!!!

I was in the 300 section looking down on the pit. I would say the back 1/3 of the pit was empty (because of people crowding forward as you said).

So bummed I didn't get to meet up with you buddy...
The St. Louis show was a bit of a cluster for us!!
I had to go straight from the merch line to the GA line,
so my ticket buddy could go pick up the tickets.
By the time she got back, they were taking us into the building!
We didn't even get to grab a bite to eat until after the show!!
