Hello! Faithful Ten Club member and new parent, here. My wife and I are eager for our son to see PJ live with us in the next year or so (tour pending!) and I'm wondering what 10 Club's ticket policy is on bringing small (ear-muffed) children to shows, given the two ticket limit. Do I have to purchase a separate ticket for a child from a third-party vendor? Is there an age limit before I have to purchase a ticket? Is this a venue issue?
To anyone with any experience with this, any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Went with double ear protection (mouldable ear plugs with heavy noise cancelling ear muffs overtop). We stayed at the back corner of GA near paramedics and police and had at least a 10ft invisible barrier between us and any people. Second experience was just at Ohana 2019 (at 2.5 years of age) same double ear protection. There were a lot of other children all having a great time. At both shows, my son would dance in my arms, and then eventually fall asleep in a Baby Bjorn (front backpack).
Id have concerns if he was less than 1 or over an age where he could run away/get lost in the crowd. Also, I would avoid stacks of speakers, and stand in a safe location. But that this stage he’s like an adorable little backpack.
So prepare for an onslaught of shit. Speaking from experience, I’ve felt safer (and my son has had more fun) at the concerts, than I have taking him to a mariners baseball game.

The parents would have a better time at the show without the infant/toddler. I would be ultra paranoid that the kid's earplug/phone would jar loose of he/she would knock it and his/her hearing would be damaged for life because of me.
I have seen infants/toddlers at amphitheater shows back in the lawn where there is room and the noise isnt overwhelming, and that seems better (although unnecessary). Couldnt imagine a loud arena show, especially on the floor/GA.
My 9 year old enjoyed the fuck out of Wrigley. On several occasions, she has called it "the best gift of her life". So, yeah. Do what you feel is best, but personally, unless they can communicate with you exactly what they need, any serious youngsters are probably better off at home.

anyways, yes you need a ticket, it’s not like a flight (although that’s starting to change to 1 and under instead of 2 and under for free). Honestly if my mom told me I saw Led in 1978 I’d be kinda cool with it and kinda not, I mean I wouldn’t brag about being at a show I don’t remember, plenty of those in college. Personal opinion. Kid isn’t gonna remember any of it. Congratulations
