I’m a little confused that the site lets you choose both (a) GA Pit or reserved; and also (b) reserved. If you select the former, shouldn’t that also cover the latter (as per the 10c instructions)? What does everyone think about this?

It's to allow people to select if they want GA Pit or not.

There is no just GA Pit option so if you want GA Pit, you select GA Pit or Reserved,

If you only want Reserved, select only Reserved.

If you want to be double sure and are good with GA and/or Reserved, select both 

It’s the last part of this that confuses me. I’m looking to maximize my chances of getting in the building and would be happy with either GA or Reserved. So I’m assuming I should just choose the former option (“GA or Reserved”). My understanding from the 10c instructions is that if you select that option and you’re aren’t selected for GA, you are then automatically entered into the lottery for Reserved. What confuses me is that if I select “GA or Reserved,” the site still also lets me choose the latter option (“Reserved”). To further complicate matters, the site says, “Select all options below for Best Available. Selecting multiple seat preferences will increase your chances of getting tickets.” So does that mean to maximize my chances, I need to select both “GA or Reserved” and also “Reserved,” or is just selecting the former sufficient because it appears to also cover the latter? I emailed 10c support about this and will let everyone know what they say. In the meantime, sea or santos, do you have any guidance to offer on this? TIA!

Response I got:

We encourage you to select both options as it will increase your chances of getting in the building. Good luck!

Thank you,

On one hand, the Seattle thing is weird. On the other, we had an awful crowd experience at Settle II in 2018. I do feel like it has to be more than just crowds though. I believe it was one of the 2000 shows when Ed went on a pretty good rant about the respect music doesn't get from authorities there. 

They don't like playing there because it’s too much effort, too many people asking for free tickets etc.

Who asks for free tickets? I know some of their personal assistants. I’d never hit them up for free tickets. 

People around here, including the local authorities, bend over backwards for the local musicians. The local politicians just declared it Mudhoney day in King County. When they play in their side projects those shows sell out. The suits that renovated the coliseum wanted to have PJ for a week long stand to open the arena. Instead we got fucking Coldplay. 

They’ve turned their back on the friends and neighbors in Seattle. It’s weird and it’s sad. 

Pearl Jam is a Chicago band.

Apparently so. I’ve seen them more often in the past 15 years in Chicago than Seattle.

I’d do it just to cover my basis.

that’s what I did at least.

who knows how these things will actually work in execution.

I think selecting anything you’d be satisfied (anything you’d accept) with is the best guidance.

I have been to chicago already and loved it but between that or Minnesota for trying to attend one show.  Is Minnesota worth visiting? Heard pretty positive things about St. Paul

Curious what the prices are like for this "tour"

Can’t make any of these dates work. Hope there’s a second “leg”.

Have fun folks!

Is the area around the United center in Chicago safe? I’m going solo and staying at the Hyatt house (thoughts?) AND I’m from Memphis so I’m used to a good ole car jacking or road rage shooting but I just don’t want to be murdered before the show 😂😅

This was my concern with the Chicago show..i dont know enough about the city or area to know the answer... plus its 45 minutes farther than st paul from my location.

Is the rule about only being able to receive tickets to 1 night of a 2 night stand via the lottery a thing? I am trying to figure out if I should list both chicago shows as 1 and 2 and then noblesville as 3. I am going to try to get to all 3, but if I wouldn't be eligible to be chosen for both chicago shows because of the rule, I will pick a chicago show first, Noblesville second and the the other Chicago show third, if that makes sense.

Never heard of this rule and I see no mention of it anywhere.

"Members can request up to 2 Ten Club tickets for all 9 shows.  There is no limit on the number of shows you can be selected for. Ten Club has secured the majority of tickets for our members, so if you request tickets for all 9 shows it’s possible that you can be selected and automatically charged for all 9 shows. Do not enter for any shows you are not prepared to pay for."

"Ten Club has secured the majority of tickets for our members . . ."

Wow, it sounds like a lot of people will get in through this lottery. That's awesome.

No it is not safe around there.  Obviously they host events all the time such as Bulls games and other concerts in which most people make it around ok but do not get complacent there.  Do not be caught walking around out there, especially alone.

Look at it this way: Nothing would really bond the Jamily like banding together to battle a flash mob after the show

Obviously, people will have different points of view on this. I never felt unsafe traveling (often walking) from Ukrainian Village (north of arena) and from the West Loop (east of the stadium) to shows and games.

Oh and please 10C remember that floor seats are NOT good seats when determining seniority seating. Thanks!

Sorry but it makes zero sense that choosing both of those helps you get in the building more than just choosing the ga/reserved option. 

The only way selecting both makes the odds better for you is if it somehow puts you in the reserved draw twice which would be ridiculous.
