If I wanted to stick it out all day in the front of the line, is it possible to pick up the tickets the day before?

No

15% chance for Toronto GA and plummeting? I am going to be really, insanely surprised if I have good luck on Monday.

Question...if I can only afford 1 show, am I able to enter the lottery for multiple shows with the stipulation to only purchase tix to ONE show (whichever higher priority wins - if any)? Does that make sense??

No

If you enter for multiple shows and get picked for multiple shows you pay for multiple shows with NO option to return or transfer the tickets.

Riley- I have been very very early several times and not been on the actual rail. If you go to a festival it is doable but be prepared to hold your spot for hours. Bring backpack w/ water or dehydration could be a factor. I almost died at music midtown ATL 2012 and will never do another festival. LOL

ATL was worth it, in hindsight, but many times during that day I kept thinking, "I've made a horrible mistake." At least 2 of my friends bailed out midway through because the crowd was just too much.
On the plus side, my profile pic comes from that show.

So far. Toronto seems ripe for a rollover show.

I live in Atlanta so I Feel your pain, but Bonnoroo in the past has a clause in it that headliners can't play within a certain mileage of Bonoroo. I think it is 300 but i'm not sure. Greenville is just outside of that Mileage Atlanta is well within.
I imagine they wanted to play atlanta but when they accepted bonoroo they had to drop it and probably looked at Greenville as an alternative.
Pure Speculation on my part

As for the General Admission... the 10 club may have purchased all the GA seats, but I would imagine if they don't sell out the allotment through the 10C then ticketmaster would sell the rest. It would not make much sense from a business standpoint for the band, the arena, or ticketmaster to not sell those and make money.

What they've done in the past is...
If GA doesn't sell out, they will give people that requested reserved as #1 and GA as #2 the leftover GA tickets!!
This happened to a good friend of mine in Phoenix in 2013...
and I've heard others say they were "upgraded" to GA as well!!

Very cool.

This is my first time getting tickets through the lottery system...I am on pins and needles while I wait!!!

Living in Atlanta and loving Pearl Jam feels like loving a girl who doesn't love you back! Oh well... Greenville and Toronto here I come!

You should try living in Indiana...most bands will actually drive over us to get between shows without stopping!!!

This is probably the first time in my adult life I have wanted to skip the weekend and go right to Monday.

Ah, good to know.
So basically the ONLY disadvantage for me, with a 400X number, to not go in for GA... Is that it increases the risk that I might miss out on both GA and RESV for a show. I'm gonna get (roughly) the same seats in RESV no matter what.

So in the above scenario, I might as well go in for GA for both shows as #1 and #2 picks? And then do RESV as #3 and #4 picks, depending on odds?

i win brooklyn I 2013 for GA only choice and my number is 400xxx, god is real, pray

When we were second to last row behind the stage for the last Seattle show, in the middle of the show someone from the venue came up and brought the couple behind us down to sit next to the stage. All that stuff can happen.

Would love to go for some shows but they came a bit to early for my, would need to know if I get a bonus for 2015 before I could make any resarvations... That sucks but good luck to all of you and I wish I could be there with my jamely!!

Rchallen- yes! That is undoubtedly the shirt that he wore in Atlanta last. There is no doubt I would have required paramedics if my 90 pound daughter had it been able to squeeze between people and crawl her way to the concession stand for water bottles. Even still, it took her over an hour to get there and back. I pounded two bottles and then had to go the whole show without anything else. And – yes! It was worth every minute. It was my first show with my daughters. Incredible!

I hope they do add another night. I like spending a couple nights in the city. It's been my mini PJ vacation spot ever since they started spending two nights there. I was shocked to see only one night. Please PJ stay for two!!!

I'm surprised no love for Buffalo either :( The peeps in Buffalo love them some PJ

Haha, well I know it was! My friend took the picture! Ed wasn't that close the entire show, but during Crazy Mary he wandered over our way with his wine, looking quite content. :^)

I think we were there at 1 PM and still weren't on the rail? And PJ didn't go on til 9 PM. I only left one time for water & food (around 5?) and it literally took me (no lie) 45 minutes to fight through the crowd to get back to my spot. And I do mean FIGHT.
