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.

Time to line up for rail!

I immediately hopped on a flight to Vancouver and lined up right after I scored my GA on F2F last Friday. There are about 300 people in front of me 🤣🎟️

First dozen or so should be arriving late Thursday into early Friday.

I won't actually be lining up until Saturday morning sometime. My wife is not up for camping out or getting there in the middle of the night

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'll have my 16 yr old daughter with me,  so not sure she'll want to squeeze in behind a bunch of dudes, lol.  Either way it's gonna be awesome !!

How about an Upper Hand opener?

Pretty decent chance of good weather to camp out in.

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 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.

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!!

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.

Just listed Vancouver 1. Section  104 row 19 aisle seats. Great view.

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.

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.
