Horrible experience at Wrigley 2 (also posted this at Given to Fly)

99% of Pearl Jam fans would not buy ADA tickets - its not in the spirit of the PJ experience.

Just one question. Why would you buy ADA seating, when no one in your party needed ADA seating? Then try to look up loopholes to make you look good for doing so.

Umm, because I wanted to sit close and I paid fair money to do so.

And Loophole is your word, not mine. There is no loophole. Non-disabled people are allowed to sit ADA. That was proven monday, as there was shitloads of them in that section, except my wife, friend, and I.

I know nothing about nothing ... but selling ADA seating to someone who doesn't need it sort of defeats the purpose of having an ADA section in the first place.

It doesn't seem plausible that this would be allowed, but again I have no expertise in the matter.

Maybe those were the ADA's +1? Just a thought.

It's always a good idea to get to your seats once at the venue. Check them out... then venture from there to get booze and whatever else.

I think it would have been smart to get pissed off, but realize things weren't going to hapoen the way you hoped. If you had GA offered to you... you should have seized it and then taken up the problem with stubhub the next day. As it stands... you basically missed the show.

Good restraint not lumping out Marc though.

* People need to get off their high horse. You bought tickets made available to you...

The "friendly" Aussies who commented didn't have a +1.

I'm sure some were, but some werent... thats for sure.

Before this thread gets shut down, and without commenting on the wisdom/morality of trying to buy your way into wheelchair seating [shakes head], I'd like to note that the villains of this story are a couple of working guys trying to make it through the worst two nights of their year.

Uh Huh. You also didn't read the whole post. Marc was letting women by like it was an assembly line, case in point my friends wife. K I'm messaging Kat. I forgot how bitter and pretentious most of the people on here are.

You wrote possibly the longest rant I have ever seen and you are calling the people on here "bitter and pretentious"? You tried to weasel your way up front by betting on a seat that was reserved for ADA folks and their companions. You crapped out. The usher was harsh. Move on with your life. Like others have said, I can't believe that Stubhub gave you half of your money back. Just thank your lucky stars for that and stop criticizing people who don't have a lot of sympathy for your failed attempt to score front row seats in the ADA section.

Yeah but you can't deny Disabled people the right to sell to a limited amount of people, which would be discrimination.

I read the whole thing. It was a story about a polite, blameless individual of pure heart on the one hand, and two ogres full of unmotivated spite on the other. I'm going to go ahead and assume there's at least one other side to it.

I think this is an interesting topic.
