    If anyone wants to make an agreement to hook each other up with an extra if we get tickets, PM me please.

    To sweeten the deal I'll promise that if someone hooks me up with an extra I'll get them into the first or second row to the next regular Pearl Jam show (as my member number is very low).

    I just saw Travis at the Vic this past Saturday night, great concert! The Vic is SMALL, floor room and then a balcony with a bunch of rows with seats and then rows that resemble church pews with padding. The acoustics are so/so.

    There is a parking garage right across the street.

    The theater is in a great neighboorhood, plenty of bars and restaurants to chose from before the show, it is literaly a few blocks from Wrigley Field. The Cubs have a day game Aug 2nd so plan accordingly as when the game lets out it's crowded!

    I hope I can get tix to this.

    I just saw Travis on Saturday at the Vic, and it was super sweet, but all I kept talking about was how freaking unreal it would be if PJ did a secret show or 10c only show there before Lolla. OMG its all happening!!!! I really really hope I get tickets. If I do, despite the fact a lot of my non tenclub buddies would love to go, I will give my second ticket to a tencluber on the pit who was not able to get tickets for face value.

    A broker could be in 10 Club, pick the tickets up himself, and then sell the spare to someone for $500-1,000. Profit of $350-850.

    Come to think of it, anyone could do that, but hopefully die-hard PJ fans would not.

    Yes, they could sell the one extra, that person could be their "guest" and the broker will attend the show. I saw it happen when Springsteen played the Orpheum.

    Ten Club tickets WILL NOT be mailed to you in advance of the show, but must be collected at the box office on the day of the performance. You must be present and show an official form of photo identification to collect the tickets. In lieu of hard tickets, you and your guest will be wristband-ed at the box office, so both parties must be present. Bear with us … this is to help prevent scalping!

    Why do you keep posting this to me?

    The scalper can pretend the person is their friend and walk right in with him or her, the same way a normal ticket-holder can.

    Holy shit! the Vic is an awsome place for a show. I seen Tom Petty there back in '03 and it was rediculous. h did a 3 hour set and with only 1400 people it blew my mind. I sure hope I can get tickets! I seriously got butterflys when I opened up pj.com to see the headline. I am not going to be able to relax until after the sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm amazed that people aren't grasping that.

    This system is very good for preventing scalping, but its not 100% scalper proof, cause I imagine a few are 10c members.

    OH MY GOD!! HELL YEAH!!!!!

    Not sure if I can find anyone to use that second ticket with this short of notice, but who cares, I can't miss this!

    Since it's general admission, I wonder what time I should plan on being there to make sure I can get up front. I'm going to have to call in sick that day. :)
