International people... How many of you will be coming to the US for the spring leg and then back again for the Fenway/Wrigley run?

Yes I won uppers to Wrigley last time they played. Quite disappointed with the view and found myself watching the video monitors more that the stage. But I was happy to be in attendance. Luckily because of the looooooooooong delay in the middle of the set, my buddy and I were able to move behind home plate which was a much better view! Had some friends in the GA area and had to hear about how awesome it was all night. They were touching the ivy and had an encounter with Jill Vedder.

I'm not a fan of GA in general, but probably a good idea to put in for them with these shows being seats are probably much further away than a regular show? Can anyone who went to Wrigley confirm this?

And any clue if GA is bigger at ball park shows or smaller?

GA was definitely WAY bigger at Wrigley versus the average arena show.

Seats being much further away depended on your membership number. I have a lower number, and I sat about 15 rows behind the pit on Mike's side. Whereas I was closer to being centered, some floor sections were much further to the left and right of the stage, making those seats more like a sidestage line of sight.

Some 10c members with reserved field/lower bowl sat in the outfield flank sections in the stands.

I have a kinda low number in the 200s. I was 20 rows behind bit pretty close to dead center for Wrigley. Couldn't see shit but the sound was fucking amazing. Best sound system in the 25 years I've seen PJ. I don't care where I'm at as long as I make it in the building!!!!!

I have also read rumors of them playing pnc in Pitt and somewhere in Columbus. I usually don't believe these rumors but you guys were pretty spot on for this tour. But unless they show up in Cleveland I'm putting all my eggs in wrigleys basket!

Had "good seats" based on lottery in left field near the Bartman seat - It felt far away. That baseball field is huge.

Don't you think the demand will be high enough that everyone would only win their first pick anyway?

I would imagine that The Cubs and Red Sox have a lot of season ticket holders that would also eat some of these tickets.

And I don't think Ticketmaster sells tix at Wrigley.

Yes I was on the field right about 2nd base I think. I thought the sound was amazing! I've seen them up close many of times in not picky anymore in the building is good for me!

GA did seem bigger but the whole field was not GA

I don't think they sell at Fenway, either.

I saw PJ and the Foos at Wrigley and thought the Foos were much louder. I was further away at Foos. My point is, I think it depends on the band.

That kinda scares me, because I've only seen them once and really don't want to be on the field. Can't do GA because of my dad's back and other stuff, so i really want to be in the stands. What do you think my chances are with a 540s number?

Your fine I'm saying I was in reserved seats on the field. Actual chairs:) it was fine. Lots of room too. Even with rain I loved it. Subway was jacked up afterwards but well worth it.

540s number would most likely put you in the stands.

Do we think today is the day for the lottery announcement? It's got to be very soon if public onsale is 2/12!

Yup, same for me. Good sound quality, though.

Is the 2/12 public sale confirmed? Or is this just a rumor?

Had lower reserved for Wrigley (1st row on the left foul wall). It was a pretty nice setup. 10C forever in your debt...literally & figuratively.

GA was HUGE and the sound was GREAT from the reserved field seats...

New poster- on and off lurker here. I've been a Red Sox season ticket holder since 2000 and have had the opportunity through the Red Sox to purchase tickets to every concert held at Fenway. The amount of tickets allowed per account has varied based on the artist/band. I would assume that the limit of up to 4 tix per account that they had for foo fighters last year will be what is allowed for pearl jam. Nothing is guaranteed to the season ticket holders other than the opportunity( but I've never been shut out).

I have a 180XXX tenclub number, joined late '98, and I was in the uppers where they looked like ants. I really don't think the number matters anymore. Sadly my seats have become worse and worse with each show I attend. I was spoiled with 3rd row the first time I ever used the tenclub ticketing process. I think it was because back then you could only attend one show. Sometimes I wish they would reinstate that rule again. I was shut out of Moline and Milwaukee so I ended up not going at all. At least I got a little bit of Ed at the Hot Stove show in Chicago last summer.

If you were up there then you had upper reserved seats. There was GA? Lower reserved and upper reserved. If you were up there then you were in 3rd tier seats so obviously lower numbers were in front of you. You also paid $60 a ticket which was a great price.

My membership expires today. It is set for automatic renewal on the 3rd. Does that mean my membership will lapse for 1 day? Does that mean I won't be eligible for the Fenway Wrigley lottery??

Why would your membership expire today if it will automatically renew on the 3rd? If it auto renews then it shouldn't lapse.

Under my membership it says expires 2/1/16. Under renewal date it says 2/3/16.
