    I would also be remiss if I did not mention that if anyone is still looking to upgrade at this point, I would highly recommend that you list your existing seats ASAP. F2F appears to be pretty saturated with lower bowl seats at this point, so if you wait until closer to the show, they’re less likely to sell (and if your seats are in the back of the lower bowl, it may already be too late; I suspect that many of the existing pairs in the back of the lower bowl will not sell). 
    I began mentioning this here 2 weeks ago when the situation was apparent. At this point it’s likely too late for some unfortunately.

    Yep, I would love to upgrade to some of those closer seats....especially those 104, row 14 aisle pair, but with so many Face Value tickets that are better than mine already available, I'm just going to stick it out for now.  Maybe I hit the lottery before the show, and can afford to eat my current seats!!
    Yeah based on the number of pairs sitting around in the back of the lower bowl, unfortunately I think we’ve reached the point now where in order to upgrade, you will likely have to eat a pair. That’s why I sold off my crappy 10c seats shortly after F2F opened. It stinks that 10c seems to get a worse ticket allocation these days and that TM holds off on releasing the best seats until much closer to the show.

    Start looking next week. I’d even wait until day prior if not day of. You’ll easily have your pick of some really solid side stage seats.

    Honestly if you’re only looking for a single, I think the best strategy at this point might be to hold off until the day of the show (or close to it) unless you’re able to snag a GA before then. There’s almost always great last minute ticket drops in some of the sections closest to the stage, and you have a 0% chance of getting shut out since there’s so many seats available.

    This situation so unique as it presents a PJ show that is accessible to so many a week before. If your a quick flight or reasonable road trip it gotta be tempting. Grab some tix and get up here.   TM fucked this up, hopefully some good can come out of it.   And please try pick up those F2F tix first.
    Can't wait !!

    Yah, you have to wonder how many more tickets they could of sold if they sold them while the iron was hot?  They were moving pretty fast on the onsale date, but dumping them weeks later for platinum prices, then better ones, then lower prices... you don't have all those eyeballs on the tickets anymore.

    I love Pearl Jam, but I do like see TM's new approach to ticket sales failing :)

    What happens on the next tour ?  Will things change or stay same ? Knowing what we know, how do we approach first day sales ?

    Depends on the market too obviously.  Just hope 10C finds a better way.

    Not necessarily. Keep in mind that a lot of people don’t get there until doors. Depending on the show, I’ve seen people get there early afternoon and still be only a few heads back from the stage. No you won’t get rail, but you’ll still end up with a good spot close to the stage.

    I mean it's not really 10c I don't think.   It's generally, a promoter offers X amount of money to do a show, they tell the band this is what we need to do to generate that kind of money.  Band ok's it or they don't. 

    Night 1 doesn't seem to be as much of an issue. There's way less tickets for sale and they're slowly selling.  I'm guessing it'll be sold out, or mostly sold out by showtime.

    It's the 2nd one, that looks more worrisome.  Maybe we'll see a hail mary and it'll be mostly sold out by show time.   I've seen this happen with a few concerts now.  It's probably only a few thousand tickets that aren't sold.

    If it doesn't sell, then I suspect this will be the one and only time we get 2 shows in Vancouver :)  Obviously Vancouver is in it for 1, but maybe not 2 :(

    I put mine up two weeks ago in Section 109.  They finally sold Wednesday night!!  Was able to upgrade section 107 instead.  There were killer seats in Section 118 but there were three and I only needed two and it would not let me buy them.  Oh well.  Two sections closer to the stage makes me happy!!

    Definitely, the only years I ever saw high 10c demand for PJ tickets was year in which there was no Seattle show.  I guess that's 2011, in '05 the didn't announce the Gorge show until after, so Vancouver had a lot of Washington state fans at it, and the Gorge had a lot of BC fans at it. maybe 03, because Vancouver was the year after Seattle.

    I also wonder if it hurt more not having them go back to back with Seattle. At least when when they run after each other, people can go to all the dates, but skipping work at two different times of the month is much harder.  Vancouver (aside for Portland being a 5 or 6 hour drive away) doesn't have any shows around it for the travelling fans to make a trip out of it.

    I'm still shocked to this day how few fan club members made the trek to Pemberton.  That show was soooooo amazing :)

    Sorry if this has been discussed, I've been following this thread from the get go but there's been a lot of info shared! Is there a public transportation daily pass or something like that or is it better to just pay as you go? We love to walk but it looks like the train is pretty efficient and the water taxi just sounds like a cool thing to do. Thanks for all the good info, locals!

    That's a good question. I need to digout my compass card for getting from the ferry to Downtown, but I'm not sure if it has a daily pass or how it works.  We tend to just tap it, and it figures itself out :)

    Congrats! I didn't realize you got GA. 

    I really thought I'd have had a chance at upgrading to GA with at least night 2 the way these ticket sales are going.

    Yah, you have to wonder how many more tickets they could of sold if they sold them while the iron was hot?  They were moving pretty fast on the onsale date, but dumping them weeks later for platinum prices, then better ones, then lower prices... you don't have all those eyeballs on the tickets anymore.

    I love Pearl Jam, but I do like see TM's new approach to ticket sales failing :)
    What happens on the next tour ?  Will things change or stay same ? Knowing what we know, how do we approach first day sales ?

    Depends on the market too obviously.  Just hope 10C finds a better way.
    I mean it's not really 10c I don't think.   It's generally, a promoter offers X amount of money to do a show, they tell the band this is what we need to do to generate that kind of money.  Band ok's it or they don't. 

    Night 1 doesn't seem to be as much of an issue. There's way less tickets for sale and they're slowly selling.  I'm guessing it'll be sold out, or mostly sold out by showtime.

    It's the 2nd one, that looks more worrisome.  Maybe we'll see a hail mary and it'll be mostly sold out by show time.   I've seen this happen with a few concerts now.  It's probably only a few thousand tickets that aren't sold.

    If it doesn't sell, then I suspect this will be the one and only time we get 2 shows in Vancouver :)  Obviously Vancouver is in it for 1, but maybe not 2 :(

    I think having 2 Vancouver shows on the same tour that there are 2 Seattle shows is compounding the sales issue too.  That won't happen again.
    Definitely, the only years I ever saw high 10c demand for PJ tickets was year in which there was no Seattle show.  I guess that's 2011, in '05 the didn't announce the Gorge show until after, so Vancouver had a lot of Washington state fans at it, and the Gorge had a lot of BC fans at it. maybe 03, because Vancouver was the year after Seattle.

    I also wonder if it hurt more not having them go back to back with Seattle. At least when when they run after each other, people can go to all the dates, but skipping work at two different times of the month is much harder.  Vancouver (aside for Portland being a 5 or 6 hour drive away) doesn't have any shows around it for the travelling fans to make a trip out of it.

    I'm still shocked to this day how few fan club members made the trek to Pemberton.  That show was soooooo amazing :)
    Pemberton was just AWESOME! Severe thunderstorm watch was in effect . Grabbed tix in Whistler very late Sunday afternoon and really wondered if I was doing the right thing with the weather warning in place.

    From memory:Release, Footsteps (at this point I felt like everything else was just cake), Daughter,Thumbing, 5?I think Present Tense was at #6, Of the Earth somewhere in there, E-Flo Small Town, Corduroy late first set caught me off guard then a hits filled encore with a Floyd cover.

    Got there in time to catch half of Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds which we really enjoyed.
