    OP dont you know if you didnt get tix your not supposed to voice your opinion? Your supposed to keep your mouth shut and be happy for all the folks that got club lottery AND verified fan for the same shows you got denied for....... its ok to post non stop how awesome it is that someone got tix but god forbid you vent cause you didnt. 

    Ive been trying to get msg tix for approx ten years. Yes thats 10 years. Been a club member 7 of them years. Guess how many times ive seen PJ at msg? ZERO. And thats trying via club and regular sale. Was denied club lottery and verified fan this time and im supposed to ne content and happy about that?  Pearl Jam shows are slowly becoming elitist events. 
    You still have the public sale, which has worked out for me literally every time the band has played MSG. Even scored 2 pairs of tickets to both the 2016 shows in the 200 level, front of stage. I'd say its your fault if you haven't been able to make it happen after 10 years.

    Not sure if you've done a public sale after they do the Verified Fan, but I would expect there to be about 2 dozen tickets available tomorrow for the shows that you can't get any for today.  Even in Safeco the public sale tickets dissappeared in about 30 seconds.
    By the time its "public sale", FOR ANYTHING, that means about 10-15% of the tickets are available. Fan club + promoter + venue + ticketmaster + other = no tickets for the public.

    To make matters worse, there are already ridiculously priced tickets on ebay.

    I almost had a seizure looking at the MSG tickets on sale at Stubhub. This should be illegal.. people should go to prison for this crap!

    They're still there because nobody is buying at those prices. No need to get worked up just yet.

    Completely different situation.  I don’t know anyone on here who wouldn’t agree that 0/10 sucks, even at MSG.  But that empathy turns to derision if you’re bitching and moaning because you’re one of the  many posters who went GA only and missed out like the OP.  Shows an utter lack of common sense and accountability for their (major) contribution to being heartbroken, especially when admitting that the email directions weren’t even read, let alone followed.

    Throwing around ‘elitist’ when many of the people bitching and complaining were ‘too good’ to accept Reserved seating is ironic.
    He's not 0/10; he's 0/however many times PJ has played MSG in the last 7 years. 
    So...0/3?
    I'm 0/3 for MSG and 0/2 Barclays.  Have got tix to every one of those shows though.  You need to make friends or need to hustle.  There are a bunch of good people here.

    Good luck
    2010: 2 shows at msg
    2016: 2 shows at msg
    2020: 1 show at msg
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Not directed at the OP, but it is truly amazing how many people cannot follow instructions and have no clue as to how concert ticketing with TM works. Read up.
    Also, I was heartbroken when my little brother died 14 years ago when he was 23.

    Not getting tickets to Pearl Jam is disappointing, but the public on sale hasn't happened.  The ticket exchange info hasn't been announced yet, but it gives you yet another chance at face value tickets.

    Plus, the ticket exchange means scalpers aren't buying tickets, and some of the fans who are buying tickets will inevitably buy extras or have reasons come up that they can't attend.  Besides MSG and Denver, most shows should be fairly easy to obtain tickets for.
    Yes, I hear you, @ryanphishes. There are multiple kinds of sadness and heartbreak. I lost both of my parents before I was 20, so I am well acquainted with life-altering heartbreak. There are levels, for sure, and the fact is that PJ and music, in general, is something that I shared with my dad, who went to the first show with me. Obviously, PJ means a lot to all of us.
