    Here's the response I received.  

    No problem. If you end up getting tickets through the pre-sale just shoot us an email explaining you don't have a smart phone and we'll get you sorted.
    Nice, I emailed as well but haven't heard anything yet.  I wonder what that means exactly but sounds like there will be ways to get by.  
    I predict it will be a huge headache for them and all of sudden thousands of people will not have a cell phone...
    Just get a smart phone you cheap ass!  ;)
    Hey I have to fund all these expensive Pearl Jam trips somehow. :blush:
    don't drink any beer during the european tour part and you'll have plenty of money for a smart phone!

    I have a phone, but at large events such as these, my service connection is crap.... like it is virtually useless other than a clock at times.

    hopefully this will be available a day in advance so it can be screen captured or something, but even then I question this decision.

    think about it, once in side and an usher asks to see your “ticket” to allow you to the floor.  Someone could easily digitally manipulate their ticket to be on the floor.  

    I dont see this going well, even though I appreciate the attempt.

    Yeah, I'm still hanging on to my flip phone. I hope it all works out if I get tickets.
    I have a flip phone too-have had it for about 14 years now and don't plan to give it up! Ten Club said that would sort anyone who doesn't have a smart phone.

    I know that Wrigley has wifi for those wondering.  I was at Fenway last year but don't remember the stadium having wifi.

    But, HOW will the 10 C sort this out?

    I was wondering that myself. I guess those who are going who don't have smart phones will find out.

    Agreed. Do these same people still use dial up modem?

    hold the phone! and let's spin this around to talk about what is truly shocking IMO  :)
    what is with society's want/need for the latest Iphone 10. i read somewhere that it cost large dollars...why do people need that? people were lined up outside the best buy the night before they went on sale...all night in line to get one. why?
    a friend of the family had to have a blu ray player as soon as they hit the market. know what he paid? over $600 for one and there weren't even a ton of movies out then. me, i waited and got my for $99 a 4 years later
    i sat in our lunch room a month ago for lunch and was shocked at the amount of younger people sitting at the one large table paying attention to no one else but had their heads bent down hanging out on social media...what is wrong with people? the young kids don't even know how to carry on a real conversation...
    my niece who is less than 10 years old is on social media. why? is that necessary? know what her dad found on her phone one day? a dick picture...and now it's major damage control
    i was at a party recently with some old HS pals who all have smart phones and one of them left his phone at another friend's house and was without a phone for the night. he stressed about it way more than he should have. it was ridiculus...
    i read very recently even the new chief dude at facebook says social media is bad for young kids yet both my neice and nephew have smart phones and are on facebook and do facetime. bullying happens mostly on social media is my guess.
    facebook is a complete waste on time. so its twitter and instagram and etc. i don't care about the latest great cat video...those are not going to make my life any richer.
    i don't have a smart phone and i will be honest the only time recently that i thought i should get one was for uber.
    anyways i am glad to be old school and could care less what people might think of my phone LOL
    rant not AT you...just a general rant about society  :)
