Thank You PJ from one grateful man.

So watching the madness online the last couple of days and the sniping amongst fans have been sad to see. I personally know what its like to not be able to see a band that meant so much to me, and I've seen prices of shows these days, and its staggeringly atrocious. for that, I will say I do consider myself VERY lucky that I got a chance, and won the chance to get my 2 seats. Section 111, Row 17.

Like many of us, the seat locations were not where I'd have loved to have gotten them, but? At least for the first time, I was able to get tickets to watch this amazing band, and without shelling out thousands to do so. that was a blessing indeed.

Thing is, the last 4 years of my life indeed fell on dark days... My marriage, My Job, and my health, never mind the whole COVID nightmare... everything I knew or was had changed... and its been a struggle to rebuild everything, and dealing with the depression that ensued with such stressors.

So how special it is to have these tickets, for me? I'm over the moon blessed, regardless of location... This concert is my attempt to come out of my self imposed isolation, to return back to being the man I once was before being lost in the wilderness, and I cannot WAIT to share a moment of this bands music, with the fellow fan base who love them as I do for one special night.

I'm so extremely very grateful for the C10 lottery. I never thought I'd get a chance, honestly. I feel for everyone that's currently not gotten a chance yet. All I can say, is, remember some of us who haven't ever had this chance before. We finally can share in the pure joy being alive at this time where we can celebrate Pearl Jam Live, and in person.

So Again, from the bottom of my heart, and soul, Thank you for this.

now that's said? giddy up

Amen to that! Definitely some new challenges this time around but the seats I was assigned today in Vancouver are awesome. Thank you tenclub!!

Agree with the comments above. I wasn’t able to score via the lottery (it’s a lottery - we can’t all win), and didn’t get a verified code, but still happy to have had the opportunity. I’ll look via fan to fan, and if nothing materializes over the next number of months then oh well - life goes on.

Glad to see the positivity of the OP and love the excitement of everyone leading up to a new tour and album.
