Wrigley Balcony Seats

I entered the reserved seating lottos for Fenway on the 2nd and Wrigley on the 18th today! Stoked to see that they're both holding at 99%. I'm a relatively new 10 Club member, so my number is pretty high. I think it's something like 665,xxx so I'd imagine I'll be in the upper balcony at Wrigley and Fenway. This will be my first time not sitting on the field for a stadium concert so can anybody tell me what it's like to sit up there? Do they stand up when the show starts or do they typically sit? Any advice is apprecieated and I'm looking forward to my first Pearl Jam concert experience!

    Imagine sitting at the top row in a movie theater.  And then imagine that the screen is a half mile away.

    Kind of like that.

    Plus you feel the upper deck swaying when the fans are really in to it.

    Awesome to hear. I was afraid the crowd would be dead back there. I'm not too concerned about how far away I am. Don't get me wrong GA would be nice but looking at ticket odds I figure I'm better off just getting in this year and crossing my fingers for an album tour in 2019.
