COnfused. 

So looks like GA only not an option. Looks like GA and reserved seating one option  and option 2 is just seating. 

Why would anyone select just seating? Those who just dont want to stand? 

My wife is short............GA sucks for her.

My wife is short, but after doing GA she prefers that now

Just watch out for the drunkees that show up 10 minutes into the show and think they can muscle their way through to the front barreling through people that showed up two hours early just to secure their spot

OKC last year.

Seattle 2018. it was brutal.  I mean c'mon, I'm in my 40's now man, not really interested in a mosh pit.

Put in for the Ft. Worth Friday show. May add an Austin show at a later date if I can swing it!

I would much rather have assigned seating in the pit, versus a GA situation.  I dont mind a GA pit on some occasions....but being able to have my "spot" and also sit when needed is great.

question, plan was both my wife and I, separate accounts, would both put in for GA in Dallas night 2. If we both got picked for GA we would sell one F2F. Now with no GA only, should we both enter the lottery hoping for one of us to get GA? Logic is since I have better seniority number than her, and if I miss GA with my pick then no way she would get GA then with a higher number? Just want to avoid getting two sets of reserved as we wouldn't go at all at that point.

Just seems surprising that they would go on tour these days for 9 shows. 

Home/Away was seven shows.

seven stadium shows. Average 60K people per show. Nine arenas average what, 12K a night. HUGE difference between the two tours. 

Definitely a difference, but United Center is over 20,000

Yeah. Xcel is ~15k in the configuration they're showing for this show. 

they're going to sell the behind the stage seats I'm sure in the ticketmaster sale. But it's not a large arena, right? 
Have you, or others, been there for concerts before? How is it?

Quick question from a newbie. Looking to get 3 tickets to bring my parents to St.Paul Shows. Would it be best to shoot for 2 in 10C lotto and then pick up third in F2F (of course tough to get a seat close to the other two seats), or just hold for F2F and try to grab 3 together?

Its not about not wanting to stand. Its about wanting your own space and not fight the crowd. I've done GA and loved it. But with a good seat it was much more relaxing for me. No one pushing up agains you for 2.5 hours so they can be 6 inches closer to the stage. No one pretending they just took a bathroom break and returning to their spot up front. GA can be kind of a mess sometimes. 

This makes sense. Thanks ...

I don't think seniority has any impact on getting GA only where you sit if you get reserved.

18k seats for hockey, plus the floor, not sure about how many lost behind stage if those arent sold
Xcel has very good accoustics in arena of this size

The worst spots in GA are still better than 80-90% of the arena. Get some drinks before and stroll in leisurely. Lining up hours in advance and potentially defending your turf is for the birds.

kaw753

Just to confirm, if I get selected for Chicago tickets through the fan club (no Fan to Fan), I can still sell them and/or transfer to one of you nice people? The 10C tickets are fully transferable? 

mccartyk25

As a relatively new member, am I better off just waiting to see what's available on Verified and F2F than trying for a reserved seat? I just don't want to get caught holding the bag for a bad seat if I'm unable to attend. I've attended a handful of PJ shows over the years but new to this process, thanks in advance. 

LaFleur

I can't help but smile thinking of all the tucked tails over on FB

I am surprised turned out to be exactly though what was known in here for weeks.  Odd tour.  I likely will not be travelling, but love, and will follow along with, the excitement!

Maybe it is an LA thing, but we strolled in after a bathroom break and stood 5 feet from Stone. Not sure why I needed to get there 8 hours ahead of time to be closer to the middle. I think the early birds got to hear the sound check and chat, maybe?

Only show I can make is st paul. If I dont get tickets through 10c will there be alot available for General public on ticketmaster?

I would not say a lot but you can roll up your sleeves and try for the verified fan sale

Thanks, where do you enter for verified fan? Is thst different than the 10c email ticket request? Sorry total noobie here.

TicketMaster "verified fan" signup (it'll prompt you to pick a first choice show and a backup): https://verifiedfan.ticketmaster.com/pearljam/signup 

FWIW I missed out on Denver tickets in the lottery last year, failed at getting tickets at verified fan on-sale because TicketMaster is garbage, but then had a choice of plentiful seats at essentially face value from Ticketmaster resale (not fan-2-fan). Snagged two in the third row of the 2nd level a few feet forward of the front corner of the stage. Turned out to be one of the best sight lines I've had for a show in years. 

Awesome, thanks so much for this and all the information! It'll be my first concert in many years and first PJ ever.

Only on F2F I believe

YieldAhead

Can only go to Chicago on 9/7 or Indy (Noblesville)? Seen them in both venues before, so that's not a factor. Really struggling with the choice. Any thoughts?

2 entries will increase your chances of GA but, yeah, you may wind up with 2 pairs of seats

Hard to say. Some of the stadium shows had terrible seats. If that's a big priority to you, you might be better waiting. But if you don't want to risk being shut out and your priority is just being in the building, then put in for 10c.

Probably better odds of getting tix to Indy if you choose lawn as backup........I thought I read almost the whole lawn would be reserved for 10C tix.  It's a great place to see a show also.........been to both too.

I was asking about this. I can sell them at face value to a club member, I presume?


Tickets on this tour will continue to be non-transferable in all states except Illinois where it is prohibited by law. We apologize in advance to Illinois fans who may be subject to increased ticket prices on the secondary market.

Last time it had to go through Ticketmaster f2f

Anyone have any idea if they’re going to post a ticket odds tool this time around? I didn’t see any mention of it in the instructions. 

wsimon74

Did everyone see the announcement at the bottom of the announcement? 

To kick off the announcement, a commemorative 2023 U.S. Tour poster is available exclusively to Ten Club members here now through Sunday, April 23 at 5 pm PT.

There is probably an Illinois politician getting kickbacks from one of the secondary market sellers.

For those requesting Chicago,  are you checking off the box with rear/side view or just going with reserved/GA or requesting both
