From the ticketing policy:

That refers to 10c tickets bought through 10c, not tickets bought directly through TM.

Right. I think the odds of tickets he received via the 10C being somewhere in the mix are high. Even if he's been extremely careful about that technicality, what if he's used this forum to jump on f2f links people post? Where would that potential transgression fall?

You can't always control what happens if you hook up a random fan here with extras. It would certainly be nice to have a heads up if someone is running a professional operation though.

I don't think that matters. For one, there's been multiple times people post links and seem like no one got them. They end up going to the bots anyway. And he supposedly was using the bots to secure tickets.
At that point, they aren't 10c tickets, they are TM tickets. I don't think 10c would have any jurisdiction to legally revoke the tickets bought from TM.

As a 10c member who had to sell my pit tickets a couple weeks ago, I had zero concern I'd lose my membership if they got resold. I posted the link here in hopes they went to a fan, but wasn't concerned about my membership if they didn't.
If 10c tracked them down somehow and confronted me, all I'd have to do is show them my F2F confirmation to prove I didn't resell them above face.

I’m shocked at what has come out about a member of 10C no really I am! I never thought that something like this would surface when I started this thread, Damn 

I'm taking this thread and pitching a reality TV show to a network. Stay tuned for Same Folks Up Front the series.

Honestly, cobbling together some of these bullying episodes would be a pretty cool short story

For those saying that Ten Club isn’t clear about the pre-line. They did this time. Anyone that comes before 9:00am is directed to the campsite across the street from the venue to get in line. The camp site is on the map they provided. I hope that helps everyone find the right place to go. Thanks 10C.

And if you are not at your precious rail, let me tell you - you can have a blast at a show in any spot, even in the second to last row behind the stage. Because it's freaking Pearl Jam.

I have been in those seats and while not a preferred choice, it sure is fun getting to see all that goes on behind the lines. And watching Matt play all night. Fuck yeah.

Do you guys ever make smores?

I had ChatGPT provide a summary for those just joining.

The Pearl Jam community forum thread titled "Same Folks Up Front" delves into the recurring presence of certain fans at the front of the stage during concerts. Participants express a range of opinions, from curiosity about the consistency of these individuals to concerns about fairness and exclusivity in ticketing.

Some forum members speculate that these frequent front-row attendees might be affiliated with the band's security or have established relationships with the band, leading to their preferential positioning. This has sparked debates about the transparency and fairness of ticketing processes, with some fans feeling that such arrangements could undermine the egalitarian spirit of live performances.

Others argue that the presence of these dedicated fans adds to the concert's atmosphere, suggesting that their enthusiasm and commitment enhance the overall experience for all attendees.

In summary, the thread reflects a microcosm of the broader discussions in fan communities about access, fairness, and the evolving dynamics of live music events.

Upon reviewing the Pearl Jam community forum, specifically the "Fan To Fan" thread, there are no explicit accusations or direct evidence of scalping by any individual member. While some users have expressed concerns about ticket transfers and the potential involvement of bots, these are speculative discussions and not concrete allegations.Pearl Jam Community+1Pearl Jam Community+1

In the "Concert Merchandise" thread, a user named "derbydave" mentioned observing individuals, nicknamed "Leisure Suit Guy" and "Slick," who allegedly jumped the line and were later seen scalping tickets. However, this is a personal observation and not a verified report of scalping.Pearl Jam Community

If you suspect someone of scalping tickets within the community, it's advisable to report your concerns directly to the forum moderators or administrators. They can investigate the matter in accordance with the forum's rules and take appropriate action if necessary.

Holy 30 pages 😅. What an entertaining bunch of fans we are 🙃. Dare I chime in? I've seen the band 11 times. 3 times I've been in GA, 2 times were festivals, and the rest I had 10 club seats. Only 1 time did I line up early morning and that was for Moline. I ended up 2nd row on Mike's side and had 2 nice fans in front of us let us have the rail for 2 songs. Wrigley night 2 in '16 we rolled in at 7pm and stayed in the way back. Had tons of room to dance around, which is more important to me than about anything. Most recently I had GA Wrigley night 2 last year. Me and my buddy got in line right before doors opened and managed to get the very edge of the rail on Mike's side. Never thought I'd be that close walking in when doors opened, but the pit was pretty big. Usually for me what makes the show is the people you're around. The only thing I hate about being far back in shitty seats is the people who are sitting down... ugh. If people have the time and money and ability to line up for a day, great. I think the biggest challenge is getting GA tickets in the first place. Lots of people definitely seem to be able to get pit tickets for multiple shows, but it is probably all in who you know. I know a lot of people get their friends/significant others accounts just to have more shots at getting tickets. Or people who just trade with each other on the boards. Idk man, to each their own. A meteor could hit me and I'd still have the time of my life seeing PJ. Maybe one day I'll get my shot at singing with Ed or getting a tambourine 😊 Have fun in Pittsburgh  everyone going!

pj ga tickets have been harder to get than ever before...

imo, if it's the same people upfront, at all shows, then, there is something going on.

as tickets have been so hard to get i've been cutting deals with stubhub for reserved pj

i used to be against professional scalping   but...

sooo pittsburgh here we come !! 2nd night only. need corduroy & alive night 2. ed....

$350 is what i paid/ticket ...and i could care less about the rail rats gang !
