So I broke a bone in my foot a few days ago.. I have tickets for the upcoming San Diego show GA floor but there’s no way I’ll be able to stand (currently in a walking boot and crutches but more than 20 min on my feet is about the limit I can handle right now). Anyone know of my options or refund policy? I am so bummed. This would have been my 28th show in the last 28 years!

    Wheelchair at the venue and ask for ADA seating.

    Contact ticketmaster or the venue and see if you can switch to handicapped seating.

    You could probably hang out in a Knee Scooter in the back of the pit if you really wanted to make it work.  Otherwise contact Ticketmaster to exchange for ADA seating.

    Sorry about the broken foot, hope it heals well, and let me know if you need any additional advice.  I fix broken bones in the foot for a living.

    Start by calling the venue now. If that doesn't work, email tickets at tenclub dot net. Give them all your info ...name, membership number, the shows (and dates) and I'm sure they can at least try to help.

    Failing all possible options, get inside as early as you can and head to customer service, guest relations, etc.

    Thanks for all the replies, I’ll get working on this now. I do have a knee scooter I just can’t imagine the hassle that thing will be (not just myself but everyone around me).

    Weston, I fractured my fibular sesamoid (it’s split in half as shown on X-ray). If you have experience with this sort of thing I’d love to shoot some questions at you, I’ve only been to urgent care and I have a telephone appt with a podiatrist next week.

    Put up an offer here and other places (social media) offering to swap with someone that has good reserved seats. Meet them at the venue. Good luck!

    Contact the venue now.  Do not wait to contact them right before the show. I went to the Eddie Vedder concert with an acute herniated disc (thanks to my job).  I could barely move my leg and had major pain.   The venue allowed those with disabilities to go in a separate door before the show (I would not have been able to stand in the line to get in the show).  While everyone stood during the concert, I had to sit for most of it.   It was worth it!

    Really surprised no one has said to just tough it out, it's Pearl Jam for Eddies sake!!! So I'll be that guy, come on, you only need one foot to stand on, if you get tired in GA just lean on the rail, sit on the floor or lean on another fan!!!!
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    This happened to my brothers friend. He sat in one of the "handicap" sections for a pearl jam show. Just contact the venue and maybe even the ten club. Your plus one should be allowed to sit with you.

    A new question, my sister is interested in going but since she isn't a 10c member, is there a legit way to transfer the tickets to her?  I see the F2F thing on ticketmaster - does anyone happen to know if she can join the 10c today and then I can push the transfer through?

    To 'a5pj' above that suggests I just tough it out... I have been to many, many shows and I would rather another fan fully enjoy the amazing experience than suffer through it myself.  There will be others in the future, and if not (let's be real, the band is getting old) I have lots of memories stored in my head.

    You can’t transfer them.  But you can let her sign into your TM account on her phone so she can access the tickets the night of the show.

    That doesn't sound like a legitimate way of getting her into the show, though?  Or is that ok?  I don't want to do anything that would break the rules.

    As long as your not selling them above face value to your sister, I don’t think letting her use your account is violating the spirit of the rules.  The rules are in place to prevent scalping.

    It's legitimate, not like she's stealing your log in and using tickets that you plan on using that night.  As long as you give her the info, i don't think they'll ask for ID or anything to show she's the one that purchased the tickets or that it's her ticketmaster account shes using.  Just have her download the app and put the tix in the wallet (if she has an iphone) and she should be good to go.

    The LA concerts will be the first PJ shows for me and my daughter. We have GA tickets the first night and wonder if anyone can help answer a question - my daughter (23) has cerebral palsy but you wouldn’t know it looking at her- she is going to try her best to stand for the entire concert, but do the venues (Forum) ever allow disabled fans (who don’t opt for the ADA section) to bring walkers (the kind that has a seat) in case it gets too much for them??? I never really thought we’d get GA tix, but we’re beyond excited and will make it work, I’m sure! Also, just curious - how many fans are usually in GA section??? Thanks so much for any info that can be passed on…

    Contact the venue. They would be best at answering your question on your daughter having a walker/seat in GA.

    Not the same, but I had to contact MLB back in 2019 for permission to bring my Epi pen in a bag. (Bags were strictly prohibited and I wasn't thrilled at the idea of just shoving it into a pocket.) I got permission by email and thankful I did. It was the only way I managed to get a $600 set of Epi pens (in a tiny concert bag) into the Twenty One Pilots show we took our daughter to in Cleveland. Permission in writing. A name attached to it. Yes, I had to show it. 

    I believe GA sizes vary. I know the security at Cincy 2014 told me there were 1500 in GA. 

    Have a great time!

    I took my brother in a wheelchair in GA to the show in 2013. As long as you stay back a bit you can see the stage perfectly. If you want to trade in for ADA though that's up to you. We had no trouble moving through the crowd as the GA crowds are usually good folks
