One of the real benefits of the fan club for Pearl Jam shows is that, in the Ten Club sections, you generally are going to be among people who are paying attention to the show. They may be singing along, but they will not be talking over the music. Singing along tends to blend in and get drowned out by the sound from the P.A. (or at least that's what I tell myself as I'm singing every word from the first song to the last).
This. It definitely is a big bonus in the 10c sections. Love to see/hear the fans singing, it makes it so much more special.
Was gonna say just that...I wait for the day when more artists use Yondr pouches. We survived many years of going to concerts without posting crappy pics just to prove we were there..
More than once, even in 10C sections, I have had to ask a person to put their phone down. Take a pic, record a short vid, but please do not block my view for the entire show. Show talkers do not bother me as much as this.
How do Yondr pouches work? The article below says the phone is w/you at all times. So if you're watching a show and the concert is over, does that mean 10,000 fans get in line after the show to have their pouch unlocked? Serious question, not sure how the process works.
I'm tall. Will usually shift for someone shorter. Dude tapped me on shoulder so he could see. I let him go in front of me. No biggie. Honestly though. If you want a good view, get in early and don't let anyone cut in front of you. If I waited for rail...I'm not moving. Bothers me when I get a good spot up front and people who took there time just try to weasel their way up front.
Sneaky fan: "Hey my friends up there"...me::"text them to come back by you" Too stressful. I'm out of that game.

I've only done it once, at the Orpheum for Bono. They had a bunch of staff at the exit unlocking them and it's a quick unlock, so no big delays, but that's a theater show. An arena show would certainly be a bigger undertaking.
It seems quite a good solution . They had it at the listening event. But you have to carry a clumsy pouch around the whole show .
Its not clumsy...its about the size of your phone.. Its easy to quickly unlock.. It's so great to remove that temptation to check the phone every 2 min to take a picture. We have become slaves to these devices.

I asked a woman to put down her phone she was holding up high in front of me...she saidnI was assaulting her and tried to get her drunk boyfriend or husband or whatever to intimidate me...a 59 yr old woman..what a dick.
Im all for it. And I don't use my phone at shows anyway. But the pouch I got given was 3 times the size of my phone and it didn't fit in my pocket. So that's my real time view of it. I'm all for banning phones completely from gigs Live in that moment ffs

Oh.. last time I used it pouch didn't seem that big.. sorry. Can't ban, but can contain. I hope before I'm too feeble to go to shows I see this happen
I’ve been to some larger (~18,000) stand up comedy and concerts with Yondr pouches and there were no significant delays getting in or out. The events were well staffed and everything was easy. At one event we did see security question someone who was talking into their pouch.

They used them at a stadium show for Jack White and the unlocking was quick and seamless there too. They had a ton of unlocking stations. I LOVED going to a show where they do this. I wish all artists would do it. The only thing the artists need to be sure to do is release their own media from each show, to make up for the fact that nobody can take pics or vids. Jack White has a professional photographer who releases all their photos right after the show (and they take photos of the crowd too), and they remove all copyrights from the photos so everyone can freely share them. Pretty cool system.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
