Forgive me if this was already posted.  Seems like they are using a # wristband system for GA https://www.unitedcenter.com/events/2023/09/05/pearl-jam-2023-us-tour/

    What if I already have permanent black sharpie on my hand? A hobo tattoo if you will. If I show up at 7 and demand to be in front that should work as in the past. I’ve been in line all month, but also I’ve been in my hotel room, and getting lunch, and a nap. Mike said he will let me on rail. He didn’t say it but we telepathically communicated it during St Paul 2.

    Better be back by 4:25...

    • LATE ARRIVAL: If a guest with a numbered wristband arrives after 4:30 p.m., the guest will be placed in line after the last guest in line. Guests without wristbands arriving after 4:30 pm will also be placed in line after the last guest in line.

    Might be a stupid question but I'm assuming they'll hand out wristbands in sequential order?!?! So both people (if attending with a partner) need to show up to receive a wristband, correct?

    “Please note- you must have your ticket to obtain a wristband and only one wristband per person”.

    One per person  makes me think you are correct. Both you and your partner need to be present to get your own wristbands.

    I assumed so as well.

    Now the United Center is just going to have people lining up to be first in line for the 9 AM distribution. The random draw lottery for the starting point is the play here if they really want to avoid people lining up.

    Posted this in GTF and the F2F thread, but leaving it here as well...

    I have a pair of GA tickets for Chicago N2 (9/7) that I would be willing to trade, but the sections, rows and seats that I'd be willing to trade for are very specific.  These include:

    Section 113, rows 1-3, seats 10-20
    Section 121, rows 1-3, seats 1-10

    Please DM me if interested.  Please do NOT message me with any other trade offers.  I am not selling these and I am not going to trade for any other seats.  I realize these are very specific trade requests, but this is the only way I would forego using the GA tickets.  Thank you.

    @BBiggs would section 113 row 3 seats 8 and 9 work?

    Not to hijack your thread, but has anyone heard any information on what the process with be for the Noblesville show?  I tried sending Ruoff a message and they told me they didn't know yet.  I know the official parking lot opening time usually isn't until around 4pm but wondering if they will also do a bracelet system in the morning.

    I’m not going to Chicago and the numbered wristbands sound official. But the first day in St. Paul we were told we were getting numbered wristbands at 10:00am. Then they came back out and told us that the Pearl Jam’s promotion team wouldn’t let them give wristbands so they weren’t going to do it. I don’t know what that means for Chicago though.

    My friend was there last week for Arctic Monkeys and the UC has a strict no tailgating policy so they probably don’t want people camping out all day around the building is my guess. But I agree with @GlowGirl as my buddy was there at 4 am and a bunch of people with no wristband cut in front of them in St. P night 1.

    I've never asked, but my guess is he is a teacher at a clown school.

    Exactly. The "sequential wristband" thing is dumb. People will just line up a day or two early.

    The only time this would ever work is if it was random. People get in line based on a random number drawn at 4pm. If number 22 is drawn, that number is first, all the way up to the highest number present. Number 1 would be next and #21 would be last.

    Anyone not there at 4pm would go after everyone who was.

    If it's random, it wouldn't necessarily matter if you got #1 or #200. All numbers would have an equal shot of being first if you were there at 4pm. If #22 was drawn and not there, the closest would go first. If #23 wasn't there, #24 would be first. If #24 wasn't there, #25 would be first. Nobody allowed in line after 4pm, except if you go to the back.

    Thanks.  There's a security guy up at that area giving out the wrist bands.
