I held onto my tickets, if people were refunded for their tickets and they will be resold; it doesn't change anything for me. There will be people filling those seats; WTF do I care who they are and more to point, how the hell would I know one way or the other if they held original tickets or refunded tickets?
If the F2F system continues to exist once new dates are announced, they'll likely place the refunded 10c tix into that pool. Then everyone gets a chance to buy upgrades & sell existing tickets in hand. I don't see a reason for them to entertain a redraw - especially if some venues have different state laws for buying/transferring. As for GA, the only way I see that evolving for Covid reasons is either assigned entry times per ticket to avoid camping, or more likely converting GA to assigned reserved seating on the floor.

I agree. An upgrade would be nice, but its really way too complicated to seriously entertain and would no doubt lead to plenty of complaints as others have said.

Why do I get the feeling we’ve seen the last of PJ playing live to 30k plus fans?

I guess we'll see if they do something with GA or leave it as is. As for a re-shuffle - one nice thing they could do is offer people who have existing tickets a chance to reshuffle for better seats, or stay where they are if they want. But that might be too much work for them.
I have no idea how they’re going to handle tickets for the rescheduled shows, but I am confident that there will be plenty of people on this board who get pissed off about it.
That you can always depend on.

You guys honestly think they wont redraw and eliminate GA in the US? GA brings line ups, stacking of people, entry and exit issues and they make the same money. I think 0 chance.
Now this is a good point. I could see GA getting eliminated.

I held my tickets to Baltimore. Won't be long hopefully. I just hope they don't make us show proof of vaccination...what if they make us wear a mask? That would be hot as hell.

If they eliminated GA they would have to first give refunds and then redraw for every show. I don't think they will do that.
The virus can be spread just as easily in Reserved sections as in GA. Vaccination is the way to go to return to shows as we knew them before.
You see me empty, Sir, do not pause and inquire, simply assume and refill.

My thoughts too. Reserved is packed too. If you don't feel safe in GA because of the virus, you won't feel safe in reserved seating. I don't see them changing anything. If they get rid of GA then what? Give them random seats throughout? Redo the whole lottery? No need for any of that. Everything just stay the same. Seems the simplest and makes the most sense.

At this point I would definitely wear a mask to be able ti see Pearl Jam again. Although by the fall that would likely just be “safety theatre”.

At this point, I would go in a damn hazmat suit or in a bubble Flaming Lips style, I need my fix!
As far as the ticket issue, my guess would be they are going to take all of the refunded tickets and put them into a lottery pool or F2F for fan club members first. any that aren't scooped up by TC members would be released to the general public. That would allow fan club members who have held on to their tickets to try and get better seats and then sell their existing tickets. There's no way they're reallocating seating, that would be a logistical nightmare. And, truly, how many fans have gone the refund route? Are there really THAT many (let alone better) seats available at this point?
There is no such thing as a bad Pearl Jam seat. The best seat is the one that's in the building. If you disagree,I will buy your behind the stage tickets if I lose out on the lottery.
Taylor Swift canceled her tour after a long wait with fans' tickets in limbo. It's possible PJ does the same and we all get refunded with a new lottery announced when 2022-23 tour is scheduled.
