Been looking forward to this show for a few years. Unfortunately my wife had a small stroke early last week. She is getting better and she really wants to go. She gives me the pouty face if I even suggest cancelling the PJ weekend (we also have 2 tickets to Nashville) for her health's sake.
I'm certain she wont be able to handle hours of standing that comes with GA tickets. Does anyone think it's worth calling the arena and asking if they can help accommodate her?
If you have pit, I assure you, you'll have no problem finding someone with decent lowers they'd be willing to trade for them.

Really sorry to hear about your wife. I have a pair of seated floor seats (Section C, Row 5) if you're interested in a trade.
@Sarava - Sorry to hear of your wife's recent health issues. Hopefully she is on the mend and well enough to attend. Perhaps with the shorter set lists, she would be okay leaning against the wall at the back of GA? Here's to hoping!
Should you decide to attend but wish to trade tickets, please feel free to me. I just posted a couple days ago that I was looking to trade 2 Sec C Row 10 seats for GA. I'm certain you will receive better offers, but if not, feel free to reach out.

I have GA for this show and it's a first time with GA. I like to drink a few beers before a show and not really looking to get there super early. Funny, I'll stand in-line two hours for a poster and shirt, but not to see the band a few feet away. Anyway, if I get there about 20 minutes before the band hits the stage, am I just stuck in the back or is there wiggle room during the show? Is it worth getting in early for GA?
Just curious.
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.
If you get there 30 minutes before the show you'll be starting toward the back.
Generally speaking:
25% forward is pretty easy.
50% of the way up can be done with tact and looking for a path. Be respectful. Once you cross this point, going to the bathroom is ill advised.
75% of the way up will require some work and some patience and, frankly if you wanted to be up that far you probably should have gotten there earlier. You're likely to piss a few folks off.
Beyond that? Good luck 😂
Ill be in the pit as well, with an old buddy. Will be my 5th or 6th Pit. It's fun. We'll probably work to about halfway up. I've been rail before in 94 and it was amazing, but not worth the effort for me, nowadays.

Closest I got was Jacksonville. Odds on GA at the time were 50%, so maybe not as many people there. I got in line about 2:45. I ended up three people back in front of Ed. That’s one of my favorite shows. Although other cities in more demand are probably requiring a longer wait.
This is a long shot, but is anyone staying at the Locust St. apartments via Expedia? I booked this via a property management company on Expedia. There are a ton of different listings at this apartment complex. It's supposedly a 15-20 min walk from the arena.
Thanks for the well wishes guys. My wife is improving and doing better, which means everything.
Standing in GA is 100% out of the question. I emailed 10 club and didn't hear back. I then called the arena. They were super nice there and said she could exchange the GA tickets for ADA seats. They said I could lock it down now, or even bring it up when I arrive and that they would find something for me, though no guarantees of where. It's neat to see them so willing to take care of people that have medical issues come up.
So dumb question but here goes. I have 4 tickets to the STL show, 2 ten club tix, 2 Ticketmaster tix. Taking 3 friends, all tix are on my phone. Shouldn’t be any issue with us all getting in the venue just using my phone right?

no issue. if your 10C tix are GA and Ticketmaster ones are Reserved, you can go to the box office and get the Ticketmaster ones printed since the 4 of you might not walk in together in that situation.

I would advise against walking that far in downtown st louis at night.

Hopefully your wife is doing better. It’s a reasonable accommodation due to a medical issue, most venues will accompany that. Hope to see you in St. Louis.

Hi, all. STL will be my 12-year-old son’s first PJ show (woo hoo!). We booked a room at the Live! By Loews hotel, which Google Maps says is .4 miles away on foot, right by Busch Stadium. I know nothing about STL. Is this a walk I should feel safe making with a 12-year-old after the show? Appreciate any feedback from those who know!

no problem with this walk down Clark. you will pass a few bars, and then it's right in the Ballpark Village area so people will be around.

Beautiful! Many thanks for this insight.
no worries. I have a 12 yr old, and hope you and your son have an absolute blast.
What does everyone do with their merch during the show if you're in GA?
If it’s just a shirt and poster, bring a tube with a strap and I just tuck tshirt into my pocket. Otherwise, get someone to hold your spot and run it back to car or hotel.
Hello! Due to various factors, I find myself with an extra ticket for St. Louis. I'd like to hand it over to a Ten Club member for face value. Would anyone want to meet out front and go in together? If so, shoot me a DM.

I'm not going to be there until Sunday, so I'm hoping I have enough time to get merch and get a decent spot up front.
From those of you with experience, what do you do with your merch during the show if you have GA?

Swing tshirts around like a hype man on an NBA bench. For posters, thems are used for paddling.
