This is VERY confusing! What was after all the CRITERIA used? Why they didn't tell us? I am a TC member for several years, since 2009. My two tickets requests were unfulfilled with no further details (L.A. and Glendale). Why?? I am very confused. I just sent an email for TC saying how mad I am and asking for clarification. I am not based in the US and would travel just to see PJ. Its our RIGHT to know and understand the criteria used. After all, are we REALLY TC members and PJ FANS? Because we're not being treated accordingly! Its disappointed to see the band just don't care about all this mistreatment we are passing through. We should not accept it, we should speak up, send emails, post on social media, make our voice to be heard and request for respect. This is totally unacceptable.

You are here voluntarily and are not really entitled to anything, nor is it your RIGHT to know anything. You are free to leave any time.

The sense of entitlement to claim that you are being “mistreated” is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read.

its remarkeable how many fans who seem to have begun posting within the last 48 hours are suddenly stunned they did not follow directions.

I think it's always going to be the hardest to get tickets to an arena show in one of the biggest markets in the US.  There's what.. 10 million people in the new york area and it's in the north east, so there's a boatload of other big cities in driving distance.

West coast is where it's at for getting tickets? (except maybe seattle shows).

There were never going to be many winners for returned tickets to popular shows like Nashville that previously sold out.  The move was to go for new shows or less popular original shows.  

Ding ding ding.

I'm surprised we saw as many winners for some of these shows as we did.

Are you asking to speak to the manager?

 Yeah I’m stunned. I took a look at Camden and thought the lawn wasn’t worth the trip for me, so I put in only for reserved and GA as a lark thinking no way would I get a ticket for a 7000 seat location(excluding lawn) and knowing all the MSG ticket holders could put in for NJ, I literally thought zero chance. But I got lucky so I guess I’m hitting the road.

to everyone who didnt score tix yet this tour, hang in there and keep at it, VF and F2F, you never know when a win awaits you.

Keep being persistent and the F2F will get you into the show. It might not be 10C seats, but there will be tickets available for almost every show, except the two that don't have F2F.

Yup. Had baltimore. Thought about a quick trip to nash or stl, but opted out due to no idea where my seats would be (146k number) for the re-release if I even won vs waiting for next round of dates. Also didnt want to get my hopes up. 

I am trying to understand your comment. So you didn’t put in for tickets because you didn’t know where your seats would be located with a 146xxx fan club number, and that was the mitigating factor that made you decide to not go for tickets to a PJ show ?

 I understand that you would have gotten your seat(s) from allotment of returned tickets, but for me getting in the building is about 90% of the point IMO.  

Of the few times I had really good seats,  the fellow 10c person I had near me really ruined the the whole experience by their actions.  At Fenway the guy next to me could barely stand up, was highly intoxicated,  kept falling into me,  and obnoxiously screamed the ENTIRE show.  Totally ruining my entire experience!!! 

While one time at MSG in 2003 I had seats behind the stage up high in 400 section, and it was one of my greatest PJ experiences I have ever had.  So for me personally, the best seats didn’t necessarily equal best/ positive PJ experience.  Get in the door and see what happens has been my motto.  Plus your seeing Pearl Jam.  

Just my 2 cents.

Keep offering to exchange weed for a ticket outside the show?

On another note remember for the 1998 tour when we had to send in our 10c ticket requests with a self addressed stamped envelope for 10c to send our tickets back to us ???

I remember getting the tour announcements from the calling the 900 number..parents used to say why do you call Seattle multiple times everyday when the phone bill would roll in.

My fanclub membership is from getting tickets to DC on 1/15/95. I won the contest by sending in 250 post cards for tickets to constitution hall, my 2nd PJ show. Came with the free membership I have been renewing ever since.

I and 3 buddies sent in 250 cards each. 2 of us won, so we all went form NJ to DC. Slept on a college campus of a friend. We scalped for the other nights. $215 per show per ticket which was a fortune then. Jack Irons first shows.

I lost MSG this round, but won for Camden, am happy. Ill find one for MSG close to show.

Before criticizing me on my comment, I believe who needs to provide me with further clarification is TC, that's why I sent them email exposing all the situation and requesting what I need to know. Or are you TC or PJ lawyer/attorney to keep indiscriminately defending them without any reasonable arguments, but full of emotional feelings which are not important right now. My post was intended to maybe find a solution or discuss this with other TC members that felt disrespected as well. So if you are not feeling this way, fine for you. Don't act as a TC or PJ legal representative. My dear, if you don't have anything relevant to say about this issue, just stay in the insignificant position you are and don't act as a 8 years old child.
