    Or literally anywhere in the northeast.
    Quebec City IS northeast. Closer than Baltimore for a lot of the NE people. So are Ottawa and Hamilton.

    Oh, I just got a text that I'm off the waiting list for my 4th show. Now 4 for 4, I didn't expect that so soon.

    How’d you figure that out, typing that crazy syntax stuff into it?
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Joined the waiting room for Nashville 14 minutes before the sale, literally the second it opened, when the queue finally opened I had 2000+ in front of me, so I guess it is randomized where you get put in line

    On ticketmaster website, it makes you wait in line, I have 1023 people ahead of me now.

    All these folks stating they'll add a second NYC date now that the band has seen the insane demand that they definitely already knew existed in the first place...I have some bad news for you.

    Only 900 in front now for Nashville.  Ha.  I don't like my chances at anything except nosebleeds.

    Can anyone give me their thoughts on how this went for me?  I was in the waiting room for Baltimore right when it opened.  When the sale started I had roughly 3800 people in front of me.  I finally broke through around 10:25 and saw 5-6 pairs in the upper rows of the 300 sections.  Every once in a while a good pair would pop up but when I chose them they were already spoken for.  Is all of this pretty normal?

    I don't see many shows and I usually get my seats through the Ten Club.  I'm not complaining, just looking to learn from my mistakes.

    Boston (4/10/94), Hartford (10/2/96), Barre (8/22/98), Hartford (9/13/98), Mansfield (9/15/98 + 9/16/98), Mansfield (8/29/00 + 8/30/00), Mansfield (7/2/03 + 7/11/03), Boston (9/28/04), Hartford (5/13/06), Boston (5/24/06 + 5/25/06), Hartford (6/27/08), Mansfield (6/28/08 + 6/30/08), Philadelphia (10/31/09), Hartford (5/15/10), Worcester (10/15/13 + 10/16/13), Hartford (10/25/13), New York (5/1/16), Boston (8/5/16 + 8/7/16), Boston (9/2/18 + 9/4/18)

    I have even worse news: getting tickets for two-show stands at MSG is not appreciably different from what we saw today. So even if your wildest dreams come true (they won't) it's not like it would get any easier.

    Anyone who got msg tickets from the Presale not behind the stage?  Seems like all the Presale tickets were behind the stage.
    I feel very fortunate to have grabbed a single on the side, Section 213. 
    Congrats!

    Quebec City IS northeast. Closer than Baltimore for a lot of the NE people. So are Ottawa and Hamilton.

    If you're north of Boston, the drive is shorter (and probably more enjoyable/scenic). Flying to Baltimore from Manchester or Boston is way cheaper/easier, though.

    That's how things played out in this sale. In every previous Ticketmaster (or other company) sale I've ever been in, you could just click "best available" and automatically get a pair of tickets in your cart.

    Makes me wonder if Montreal will be Osheaga announcement next week. Or just in the fall.

    Yes, unfortunately that is pretty normal.  Not good, but normal.

    For QC I had 1300 in front of me and still got 2 middle side section, lower ring.  I have to imagine that's better than some of the 10c reserved seats.

    I got into St. Louis, was thinking of going to that show or Denver.  I got Denver 10c tickets, when I finally got into the ticketmaster sale for St.  Louis it was nothing but nosebleeds!!!  Screw that!!

    Its pretty crazy there are no pearl jam tickets on stubhub, etc. other than MSG.  I definitely feel like this is a good thing.  It's become tough as a fan to see multiple shows this tour - which I hope will ease up with more plentiful dates in the fall - but better they go to other fans for face than scalped by ticket brokers.

    Do you think it stings less knowing you didn’t get a ticket due to the lottery or verified fan presale not granting you access vs fighting an uphill battle against the scalper bots?

    Look at all these wonderful “Verified Fans” just re-selling at massive profit. All the behind stage was VF. Also Pearl Jam is on the front page of Stubhub.
